Doom is a status in Final Fantasy X that will display a countdown over the victim's head. After each turn they take, the counter will decrease by 1 until it hits 0, when the target will be inflicted with instant death. While the number of turns needed varies for enemies, party members will have 5 turns before instant death.
Doom cannot be cured by any spell or item (though enemies can have immunity to it), and it only disappears if the afflicted character dies or the battle ends before the counter hits 0. The player may want to swap the afflicted to a backline party member should they face instant death on their next turn otherwise.
