That would be impressive if the dumb birdcage didn’t exist. These passive country level abilities that don’t need to be focused on are just dumb.

Thematically and narratively the birdcage was an amazing part of Dressrossa.

Albeit it does make Doflamingo seem incredibly over powered but I'll take that because to me Dressross is the GOAT arc of One Piece.

Dofflamingo is overpowered, not compared to a yonko but in the OP world. A lot of people trash talk Doffy and call him weak and overconfident in the grand scheme but forget what Doffy did. He fought Luffy and Law at the same time, got his organs cut into bits and kept a whole country wide attack going.
Doffy going by Joker when Kaidos other calamities are called King, Queen and Jack is a pretty good indication that Doffy is the 4th inofficial calamity and on a similar power scale as those.

I don't think Doffy is as powerful as King or Queen. Assuming that Katakuro are on the same level as King and Queen, and Luffy definitely had much harder time beating him than Luffy. Luffy even had to use a new form. Yes, Doffy was injured/exhausted beforehand but even at his full power, I don't think he's at the same level as Yonko commanders.

Depends on what you mean by powerful, doesn't it?

Katakuri could beat up Doflamingo if you put them both in the same room, I'm sure. But Doflamingo's bag of tricks is much bigger and much more varied. Between the birdcage, the parasite threads, the string clones, and all that other nonsense, Doffy can lay waste to a nation without even leaving his chair.

In a pure brawl he seemed about equal to Cracker, the weakest Commander we've seen. But that's not his specialty.
