With the Right Amount of Creativity, Doctor Strange and Punisher Can Be the Most Lethal Duo in Marvel Rivals

In Marvel Rivals, few things bring more joy than watching two heroes work together in perfect harmony. While NetEase’s hero shooter offers plenty of powerful character combinations, one particular duo has been turning heads lately with their creative approach to battlefield control.

Doctor Strange and The Punisher might seem like an odd couple at first glance—one’s a mystical master of the arcane arts, the other’s a gun-toting vigilante with a penchant for excessive firepower. But as one clever player recently demonstrated, sometimes the best partnerships are the ones you least expect.

When mystic arts meet military hardware

The Pentagram of Farallah might just be the most ingenious ability NetEase has ever implemented in a hero shooter. With a generous 20-second duration balanced by a hefty 3-minute cooldown, these mystical portals have become the source of countless highlight reels and “galaxy brain” plays.

We’ve seen Stranges sending entire enemy teams to their doom by placing portals at spawn exits, outsmarting other Stranges with counter-portals, blinding opponents by placing portals in the sun, and even tricking opponents into jumping through what they thought was their own team’s portal. But this latest discovery takes things to a whole new level:

What you’re witnessing here is tactical brilliance in action in Marvel Rivals. A Punisher player, stuck with a less-than-ideal vantage point on Tokyo 2099: Spider-Islands, suddenly finds themselves blessed with the perfect line of sight thanks to a well-placed portal. The result? A completely unexpected angle of attack that leaves the enemy team scrambling for cover.

Speaking of bringing new things to the point, Marvel Rivals is about to get even more interesting. On February 21, The Thing joins the Vanguard roster, bringing the total to a modest nine heroes. Meanwhile, Human Torch will become the twentieth Duelist, proving that NetEase clearly has a favorite class to develop for.

The beauty of Strange’s portals lies not just in their offensive potential, but in how they’ve become a tool for creative problem-solving. Whether it’s repositioning a teammate’s turret, creating unexpected angles of attack, or simply making the enemy team question their life choices, the possibilities seem endless.

With the Fantastic Four family finally complete in-game, we might see even more creative ability combinations emerge. Though let’s be honest—it’s going to take something truly spectacular to top the sheer brilliance of a portal-powered Punisher raining freedom from above.
