  • Use your ultimate when enemies are grouped or vulnerable to maximize impact.

Best Teammates for Doctor Strange

  • Iron Man: Your CC sets up Iron Man’s burst damage perfectly.

  • Hulk: Tanks frontline pressure while you cast safely.

  • Wolverine: Thrives on targets you snare with Eye of Agamoto.

Doctor Strange Counters

  • Spider-Man: Mobile and slippery, hard to pin down.

  • Star-Lord: Can harass from a distance and avoid most of your combos.
