Is Doctor Strange good?
Strange keeps his signature toolkit of innate power generation, counterspell Nullifies and Vishanti Blessings, and adds new effects like Wither and Placebos along with more direct control over which Blessing he's running. That utility and survivability let him keep control of a fight and throw Specials constantly.
Even so, we only rank him D here since none of that translates into standout damage or a clear defining strength against the field.
Strengths
- Keeps innate Power generation, counterspell Nullifies and Vishanti Blessings
- New Wither and Placebo effects with more direct Blessing control

Well of Unseen Worlds
Signature AbilityAt the start of each fight, grant the Opponent 1 - 3 (rounded down) indefinite Placebo Buffs and then inflict a Fate Seal Passive for 3 seconds. When Doctor Strange gains an Arcane Font, he has a 10 - 30% chance to gain another. This can trigger itself, but is not affected by Ability Accuracy. Before the Opponent would be Knocked Out, inflict a 125% Neutralize Passive for 3 seconds.

Rush Hour
Special 3For his final act, Dr. Stephen Strange demonstrates sorcery supremacy — making his opponent disappear. Refresh the current Vishanti Blessing and inflict a Fate Seal Passive for 15 seconds. While this Fate Seal is active, when the Opponent is prevented from gaining a Buff due to Fate Seal or Immunity, Doctor Strange gains an Arcane Font.
