Marvel Rivals is heating up with its star-studded roster, and among the strongest heroes is Doctor Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme. As a Vanguard hero, he excels at dishing out devastating area-of-effect damage while shielding allies. Although not the most challenging character to pick up, mastering Doctor Strange requires smart cooldown management and a fine balance between offense and defense.

If you're looking to boost your rank using one of the most powerful heroes in the game, this ultimate guide covers everything—from his abilities to advanced tactics for dominating the battlefield.

Base Health: 650
Difficulty Rating: 2/5
Team Role: Vanguard

Unlike other Vanguard heroes like Thor and Venom, Doctor Strange controls the fight from mid-range—supporting his team while keeping enemy Duelists at bay.

Daggers of Denak (Primary Ability): Fires five magical projectiles in a straight line. No cooldown.

Price of Magic (Passive Ability): Hitting enemies builds up Dark Magic; if left unchecked, it curses Strange with Anti-Heal. No cooldown.

Cloak of Levitation (Activated Ability): Enables flight for six seconds. 15s cooldown.

Shield of the Seraphim (Channeled Ability): Creates a barrier that blocks up to 800 damage. Recharges 3 seconds after destruction.

Maelstrom of Madness (Activated Ability): Unleashes stored Dark Magic in an AOE attack. 8s cooldown.

Pentagram of Farallah (Activated Ability): Creates two linked portals for quick traversal. Lasts 20 seconds, 180s cooldown.

Gamma Maelstrom (Team-Up Ability): Enhances Maelstrom of Madness when Hulk is present, increasing its damage. No cooldown.

Eye of Agamotto (Ultimate Ability): Separates enemy souls from their bodies, stunning them and inflicting bonus damage for 3 seconds. No cooldown.

Doctor Strange’s power revolves around his passive, Price of Magic, which builds up Dark Energy every time he lands a hit. To prevent entering an Anti-Heal state, the key is to use Maelstrom of Madness to unleash stored energy in a powerful AOE attack before it accumulates excessively.

Basic Combo Strategy: Start by hovering with Cloak of Levitation and use Daggers of Denak to pepper enemies. Build up Dark Energy with primary attacks and melee strikes, then drop into the fight with Maelstrom of Madness for a burst of damage. Use Shield of the Seraphim to absorb incoming damage, and reposition using Pentagram of Farallah or re-engage with Cloak of Levitation.

Ultimate Execution: Eye of Agamotto is a game-changing ability. Use it when enemies are distracted during a team fight, position behind cover, and consider pairing it with other AOE abilities for maximum impact.

Manage Dark Energy Carefully: Keep an eye on your meter to avoid triggering Anti-Heal at crucial moments.
Coordinate with Teammates: His abilities are most effective in team setups; communicate before using portals or diving into the fray.
Abuse the Portals: Though Pentagram of Farallah has a long cooldown, use it tactically for flanks, surprise attacks, or quick retreats.
Be Mindful of Cooldowns: Don’t waste survival tools like Cloak of Levitation and Shield of the Seraphim—use them wisely.
Utilize Team-Up Synergies: If Hulk is on your team, take advantage of the Gamma Maelstrom upgrade to boost damage output.

Doctor Strange is a well-rounded Vanguard hero that rewards strategic play. His blend of offense, defense, and utility makes him a strong pick in any team composition. With practice, smart cooldown management, and well-timed ultimates, you’ll be bending reality and leading your team to victory.

Start practicing these strategies, refine your execution, and watch your rank climb as you master Doctor Strange.
