Doctor Strange is a versatile vanguard with immense battlefield control and support-like healing. His sorcery allows him to bend engagements, shielding allies and punishing enemies with area denial. Strange thrives when dictating the pace of a fight, using zoning tools and healing bursts to stabilize his team. The key to mastering Doctor Strange lies in cooldown management and positioning. His barriers and healing orbs can swing momentum when timed against enemy initiations. Pair him with ranged duelists and durable vanguards who can capitalize on the safety he creates. He functions as a stabilizer, ensuring his team always has room to fight on their terms. Counterplay comes from overwhelming his defenses and forcing cooldown trades. High burst damage and mobile duelists can collapse before he repositions. Anti-heal effects and zoning strategists limit his recovery potential. While Strange is powerful at anchoring fights, he becomes vulnerable when isolated or pressured relentlessly. In coordinated play, however, he provides unmatched consistency and tempo control.
