3Strange cuts PVE time

Dormammu

I champed 3* Dr. Strange and used him extensively in the first round of Rocket & Groot. It took me about an hour and a half to do my initial clears. Usually it takes me 2 to 2.5 hours to do that. But Strange's yellow just chews through any nodes with goons! Its unbelievable.

Maybe it's because he's buffed.

Or maybe Dr. Strange is now the go-to guy in PVE.

I wouldn't say it too loud, just in case a dev with a nefbat is around... Anyway how much damage does the yellow at 5 covers when buffed?

At level 246 (buffed from 167) he deals 2033 damage and heals 429.

Blahahah

Strange also works well with the other boosted man on the scene, Blade. Those sword tiles really start to stack up high after a while, meaning that 2k per ability turns into an easy 3.5.

Strange triple-dips with the best of them too. Fire off that blue and watch them squirm as they get slammed by 2k followed by your match followed by an additional 3k on their own turn while you're slowly sapping their life through a bendy straw

I would say with 3Strange, and Star Lord PVE has gotten significantly easier and faster. I am still working on finishing Strange 2/5/1 be he is already becoming a character with a very high usage, that little ping of damage is beyond useful in goon nodes.

doesnt seem to work for me against 30k health juggs...

You gotta bring a heavy hitter along to deal with Juggs. I recommend 3cyke and someone to generate black, like Doom or IF.

If Strange is your third, he's a beast against Juggs because Juggs' abilities are so cheap. You just don't want him doing the heavy lifting, and you never want to let him get out front.

Strange is definitely the go-to-character against good feeding nodes. I bring IF with him just so I am constantly doing damage to wipe Hood by turn 3. He definitely refreshed the 3* tier. I am still shocked he was not made a 4*.

I still think an auto accelerator like SW is faster. I ran OML/PHX/Strange for my opening pass and it was a relatively mediocre 90min. when the fastest players were in the 65-70 min timeframe. Ran the closing grind with OML/PHx/SW in 80M with 4 min to spare.

He's a great option and top tier for sure,

OML/SW/JG usually keeps things moving at a brisk pace....

What 4* does Strange award for champion progression?

I'm just waiting for him to get added to the Elite and Heroic pools. I'm stuck with a 0/2/2 Strange because I came up just short of the blue (because I forgot about Daylight savings time, iirc), so I'm sitting on 40 tokens - including my 10-pack -until they finally add him (some time today?). At this point I keep checking the forums just for that. He just devours goons.
