Doctor Strange serves as a Vanguard hero, adept at leading the frontline with his mastery of the mystic arts. As the Sorcerer Supreme, he employs ancient spells to control the battlefield, offering both offensive and defensive support to his team. However, frequent use of his arcane abilities gradually awakens a darkness within him, adding a strategic layer to his gameplay. Players must balance his powerful magic with the potential risks, making him a compelling choice for those who enjoy tactical, high-stakes combat.

Team-Up: Gamma Charge

The Gamma Charge Team-Up ability enhances the synergy between Hulk, Doctor Strange, and Iron Man. When Hulk is on the team, he infuses his gamma radiation into Doctor Strange and Iron Man, not only amplifying the offensive capabilities of Doctor Strange and Iron Man but also providing Hulk and his variant, Monster Hulk, with an additional 150 Max Health, enhancing their durability in battles.

How to Play Doctor Strange in Marvel Rivals: 5 Key Tips

Master Dark Magic Management: Build up Dark Magic with Daggers of Denak, but release it strategically using Maelstrom of Madness before reaching anti-heal status. This allows you to maximize damage output while avoiding the healing penalty.
Utilize Shield of the Seraphim Wisely: Position your shield to protect teammates and control enemy movement. Use it to absorb up to 1450 damage, far exceeding your base health of 650. Combine with Cloak of Levitation for aerial defense.
Perfect Portal Placement: Practice using Pentagram of Farallah in the Practice Mode to create game-changing portals. Use them for quick escapes, surprise attacks, or to reposition your team strategically.
Coordinate Ultimate Timing: Use Eye of Agamotto from unexpected angles or high ground to catch enemies off guard. Communicate with your team to maximize its 20-meter wide, 3-second stun effect.
Balance Offense and Defense: While primarily a defensive hero, Doctor Strange can deal significant damage. Chain abilities for 250-damage combos, but remember to prioritize team protection and positioning over personal eliminations.
