8 Luna Snow
Best heroine to cool Strange Down
- Pros: Fast, lots of CC
- Cons: Squishy, easily overwhelmed
Luna Snow has quickly become “Mei”. Marvel RivalsMany players chose this character because of his freezing abilities.

Damage per second is important for creating a good team in Marvel Rivals, characters like Wolverine and The Punisher provide such damage.
Luna has the ability to freeze her targets for Absolute Zero, and landing it on Doctor Strange while gliding after using the Cloak of Levitation will take him down very quickly. Then, with a coordinated attack, the team can unleash a unique explosion before he uses Seraphim's shield to block his attacks.
7 Wolverine
The Best Hero to Ground Strange
- Advantages: Fast, flexible, can take down aerial enemies
- Cons: Difficult to master, difficult to control
To defeat the one advantage Doctor Strange has access to (his pesky flight skills), who better to bring him down than the beast himself, Wolverine? Logan is a killing machine, and his kit is designed to break down resilient enemies (especially vanguards). Conveniently, Doctor Strange fits the profile of a flexible yet mobile tank.
Wolverine deals damage according to the target's maximum health, and the more rage he has accumulated, the higher the percentage. On the other hand, his Feral Leap ability can bring enemies down from the sky, even more so if he is activated by the Gamma Fastball team-up ability while on the Hulk team.
6 poison
Tough and reliable against CC
- Pros: Excellent at melee range, flexible, excellent mitigation
- Cons: He's a bit slow
Venom is one of the ideal counters to Doctor Strange as he can take multiple hits before he's in real danger, and yet, using Symbiotic Resilience converts his lost health into temporal hit points. Sorcerer Supreme can deal a lot of damage to larger targets like Venom and Hulk, but it won't matter if players know how to mitigate it correctly.
On the other hand, Venom's Ultimate Fist of the Abyss grants him “freedom of movement”, which is ideal for countering the powerful CC of Eye of Agamotto (Doctor Strange's Ultimate), a massive area explosion that affects the movement of every target in the area. and lasts 3 seconds. With Venom, players don't have to worry about that. They just need to hit the ultimate potential and crush the weird.
5 The Winter Soldier
Packed with many CC capabilities
- Advantages: Payments, excellent at crowd-control, can be implemented
- Cons: Squishy, unsafe tactics
Another great character to counter Doctor Strange is the Winter Soldier. Also known as James Buchanan “Bucky” Barnes, Captain America's former sidekick specializes in creating opportunities to deal damage while focusing his team on priority targets. Thanks to his many crowd-powered skills, the Frost Soldier can pick up a floating wizard or throw him to the ground with a precise shot from his scar voltage ability.

Marvel Rivals: All Maps and Game Modes
Marvel Rivals has different game modes that players can try out on different maps. Here's a full rundown of them all.
As a plus, his ultimate also marks enemies for execution, and once they fall below a certain threshold of health, they die instantly and reset their ability, and it can be chained endlessly. Also, it lifts the character into the air, ignores Doctor Strange's eye of Agamotto, and then drops him head on for the kill.
4 Black Panther
Strange can catch the Doctor off guard
- Pros: Extreme mobility, good chaser, can climb walls
- Cons: Limited kit, single target focus
Black Panther is a classic example of a good killer. This Melee Duelist has an incredibly fast leap ability that allows him to reach Doctor Strange and follow him in a split second, making him extremely vulnerable to other players' attacks. The King of Wakanda specializes in flanking and surprise attacks, and even has the ability to climb walls, allowing him to somewhat survive a portal throw if the player acts fast enough.
On the other hand, thanks to his leaping ability, he can get out of the AoE that Doctor Strange uses to stun everyone when he casts his ultimate. This gives him an edge in targeting good medics and preventing other opponents from targeting stunned team members.
3 Magik
The true master of the portal
- Pros: Good mobility, good flanker, uses blocking tactics
- Cons: Squishy, weak when stationary
Another great flanker that can make the Doctor bleed weird in a matter of seconds is Magic. Thanks to her high mobility, Magik can avoid being trapped by Strange's Ultimate, and she can even drop a monstrous minion as a gift to attack the Magician Supreme. Magik's kit is all about jumping into the middle of the enemy team, separating the strategists from the vanguard and duelists, then moving out.
The unique range is the Vanguard, a strange combination of crowd control, mitigation, and mobility. Magik can counter most of Strange's skills and, above all, survive long enough to ensure that Strange is too busy going around putting portals in the ground. He is a true master of portal magic.
2 Tara – Lord
High mobility, can avoid strange traps
- Pros: Extreme mobility, good chaser, great ultimate
- Cons: Squishy when grounded, weak
Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord, is an excellent mid-range duelist who specializes in chasing down priority targets, taking them down with a rapid barrage of blaster fire, and retreating when things get complicated. He excels at harassing shield-dependent heroes like Doctor Strange, who would soon lose Seraph's shield after a single encounter with Star-Lord.
On the other hand, Star-Lord's Ultimate Galactic Legend lifts him into the air and allows him to roam around the battlefield destroying his enemies with tracing blasters. It also puts him out of range of the Eye of Agamotto, and his aerial maneuvers can save him if he falls into the portal of the Strange's doom.
1 the hulk
Can bring the doctor down strangely and suppress him
- Pros: Extreme mitigation, good tank, can jump, single target suppression
- Cons: Weak when isolated
One of the best vanguards to counter Doctor Strange in the current meta is the Hulk. The Emerald Giant is a bundle of pure power and shaman, capable of taking down enemies from the sky for incredible leaps and pinning them down using radioactive lockdown.
When Hulk transforms into Monster Hulk, he gains abilities and powers called World Breaker. He can use it to grab Doctor Strange by the cape and slam him against the ground for several seconds, weakening him greatly, if not completely destroying him in the process.
