Tips to play Doctor Strange in Marvel Rivals 

The number one thing to remember playing as Doctor Strange is that you are the one who sets the tempo and positioning of the team as you are on the frontlines. 

Pentagram of Farallah is a great ability to not only reposition your team to a more favorable spot but to also engage into enemies with an unexpected teleport. 

Your shield too is a great way to gain space and walk up to enemies as you can become a bullet blocker long enough for your team to potentially take space. This also goes for Duelists playing with Doctor Strange, if yours has their shield up walking and taking space, capitalize on it. 

His ult too is a great tool to combo with other high burst damage ults in the game, namely Scarlet Witch’s Reality Erasure, to almost instantly win a teamfight.
