So far I have not had many opportunities to use his purple it seems a little to situational to be the maxed power plus its initial cost is a little expensive and seems very dependent on who you are playing. That blue is a good hold and does reasonable damage especially if some strike tiles are out on the board. I am going to mess with the purple more tonight and see if I get anything more out of it but I am leaning 5/3/5 at the moment unless somebody convinces me otherwise.

The blue is almost as good as the yellow, hopper. It's one of the best stuns in 3* land, lets you target specific AP destruction, *and* it does about 5k damage. All for 9 AP. 5/3/5 is the no-brainer for Strange, except in *extremely* situational cases. Try putting him in one of these Symbiote nodes with IM40. Get more than one blue out there, and the whole enemy team just melts away in seconds.

As I said I just championed him last night and honestly did not get much use from his blue in many of the nodes I was playing because it was over so quickly. I teamed him with OML and Khan and once OML black strike tiles were out he was doing at least 3000 hp per yellow attack. IM-40 sounds like a good idea to get those blues out quicker, KK did not add much to this team IM40 makes more sense. I am glad you agree with me on the purple, I just was not seeing much there last night and I wanted to make sure I was not missing anything. Need to get some covers in him his HP total stinks

Need to get some covers in him his HP total stinks The only difference between purple at 3 and 5 is that at 5 it removes invisibility and trap tiles, and at 3 it doesn't. Either way, it only ever removes 2, max. The only reason I can ever see to put purple at 5 is if you're facing 1.) Howard the Duck/IW/Charlie X/Miles (possibly multiple invisibility tiles), 2.) X-23/Daredevil/Fury/Elektra (possibly multiple trap tiles). Even in the case of trap tile users, I'm not sure it isn't just better to have the stun+damage.

So I fired off a power, 3* Strange returned the favor, but then XDP's power didn't activate (at least once, the second time he did). XDP activated with ~1600 pts, 3* Strange did 1700+ points, so he should have activated the first time. Anyone else notice XDP not activating against 3* Strange?

His HP are horrible so you have to make sure he says in the back which is a little hard to do all the teams I have tried him on he tanks purple and blue even with OML but if you bring IM40, like somebody suggested above, you can easily work around this problem. Great new 3 star definitely in top 5. Once I get a few more champion levels into him I will give him a go in pvp, I think he will be solid there as well, he can just be 1-shoted so easily I dont know how effective he will be until you can get his HP up.
