Doctor Strange is among the many Vanguards available to play in Marvel Rivals. With his abilities, he can block incoming damage using his shield and can also levitate in the air. One of his standout abilities is the power to teleport players across the map.
Vanguards are usually a difficult class to go up against, mainly due to their large health that allows them to become the bullet sponge for their team. However, with a proper set of heroes, they can be taken down with ease. Below is a list of five heroes that can counter Doctor Strange in Marvel Rivals.

The heroes that can take down Doctor Strange in Marvel Rivals
1) Psylocke
Psylocke comes under the Duelist category of heroes in Marvel Rivals. Her abilities do a high amount of damage to her opponents. Psylocke also has some amazing mobility options that can make her a very difficult hero to play against in Marvel Rivals.
Doctor Strange can struggle quite a bit against Psylocke, as she can deplete his shield from far away using her Psionic Crossbow and Wing Shurikens. Then, she can get close to him using the Psi-blade dash or the Psychic Stealth. This can also create the perfect opportunity for her to use the Dance of the Butterfly as Doctor Strange’s low mobility will get him caught in a very tricky situation.
2) Iron Fist
Iron Fist is another Duelist in Marvel Rivals that is quite menacing to face off against. He is a close-range brawler who does tons of damage to his enemies. Iron Fist also has some very unique mobility options like triple jump and wall running that aid him in becoming a little more creative.
As of now, Iron Fist is one of the scariest heroes to go up against. When it comes to facing off against Doctor Strange, he can quickly get in his face and melt his health. The triple jump combined with the K’Un-Lun kick could be the perfect initiation tool for his duel against Doctor Strange. After that, he can activate Dragon’s Defense and make his punches even faster. Once again, due to Doctor Strange’s low mobility, he ends up falling prey in this duel.
3) Thor
Thor comes under the Vanguard category of heroes in Marvel Rivals. With the help of his abilities, he can do damage to the enemies in both close and medium-ranged scenarios. Thor’s Storm Surge also offers a decent amount of mobility to the players.
When it comes to the current Vanguard selection, Thor is among the better picks in the game. Against Doctor Strange, he stands a good fighting chance. Thor can use the Awakening Rune to do some long-ranged damage and then get close and personal with the Storm Surge and push through Doctor Strange’s Shield. Then, the Mjölnir Bash should be decent enough to inflict enough damage to take him down.
4) Black Panther
Black Panther is a Duelist hero in Marvel Rivals. His abilities allow him to become a brawler and do a good deal of damage to the opponents. The coolest aspect of Black Panther is his mobility. By using the Spirit Rend and Spiral Kick, players can get very creative with his movement. On top of these, he can also wall run vertically on structures and perform a double jump, almost allowing him to pounce on his enemies from above like an actual panther.
Doctor Strange can be in quite the trouble against Wakanda’s king. Black Panther can use his Spear Toss to do some damage from long range and then get close using the Spirit Rend. It can help him get through Doctor Strange’s shield or even reach him above if he tries to levitate. This can then be followed by the Spinning Kick and the standard Vibranium Claws.
5) Iron Man
Iron Man is one of the few Duelist heroes that has continuous flight. With his abilities, he can take many long-range duels and is perfect for maps that provide many elevations. Iron Man also has incredible mobility that helps get out of tricky situations very quickly. His Invincible Pulse Canon is one of the strongest ultimates in Marvel Rivals.
The strongest aspect of Iron Man is how he provides the player with both close and long-range options. Against Doctor Strange, he can use the Repulsor Blast to deplete his shield’s health from long range. Then, he can activate his Armor Override to enhance his damage output. After this, the best option in a close-range duel would be to shred his health quickly using the now-enhanced Unibeam.
