Summary
AMarvel Rivalsplayer has discovered a Doctor Strange Meta involving spawn trapping that is outright cruel.Marvel Rivalsis in the midst of a beta phase that began in July, and players may use this Doctor Strange strategy to defeat their opponents within the private test.
Marvel Rivalsis an upcoming hero shooter developed by NetEase Games, the studio behind games likeDiablo Immortal, Naraka: Bladepoint, andKnives Out.Unlike divisive alternatives such asConcord,Marvel Rivalshas received wide praise from players with access to its beta. The game features popular Marvel characters like Star-Lord, The Incredible Hulk, and Black Panther. Similar to other hero shooters, each character has their own unique abilities, and they fulfill different roles to emphasize team composition. The Vanguard characters are tanks, Duelists are damage dealers, and Strategists support the other heroes. One gamer has found a unique trick to defeating enemy players using one of Doctor Strange’s powerful abilities.
Reddit user Warlonator recently shared a clip of theirMarvel Rivalsstrategy for Doctor Strange. Similar to how he does in the Marvel movies, Doctor Strange can open portals to transport allies and enemies alike. Dubbed the Pentagram of Farallah in the game, one player has discovered that these portals can be set up in front of the enemy spawn rooms. The Reddit users' video begins with the player defeating an opposingMarvel RivalsHulkbefore setting up one portal in front of one spawn room door, and the other in front of the second. As a result of this play, their opponents couldn’t escape the spawn room, as entering one portal would eject them out the other, causing a spawn room loop.
How Does Doctor Strange’s Marvel Rivals Portal Work?
Doctor Strange is a Vanguard hero inMarvel Rivals, and he has abilities like Shield of the Seraphim that protect teammates from damage using a magical barrier. Out of all his abilities, the Pentagram of Farallah may be the most widely used for its utility in fundamentally changing the dynamics of a match. WhileOverwatch 2’s Symmetra can create portals, they’re only intended for her allies to use. This occasionally still causes players to be sent falling to their deaths by their teammates, but these portals also require button input to use.The Doctor Strange Portal inMarvel Rivalssimply works by players walking through them, which seems to be causing a handful of problems.
Given how unfair this strategy is to the opposing team, some players may end up giving the developer negative feedback regarding Doctor Strange. WithMarvel Rivalsstill in betatesting, though, NetEase Games has plenty of time to remove this Doctor Strange strategy.
