Scarlet Witch and Doctor Strange did get kind of downplayed here. The heals feels more like a detriment to them than it actually helps because it's as you said, the devs were afraid to up their power factor. Stephen and Wanda were apart of my main team before I replaced Wanda with Storm. Stephen can still do work and I have shred bosses with Storm's Tornado and Stephen's Flames. But again, it doesn't help that there are heroes that have utility and still deal fantastic damage and synergize ridiculously well with most if not all heroes. I love them both, but they really need help.
I enjoy playing as Doctor Strange as well as the other characters. If players want to make him stronger, perhaps they could use stronger and fitting Iso-8 crystals to make him more powerful, same for Scarlet Witch. There's also the alliance enhancement.
As I said on the Scarlet Witch guide, these support heroes are a huge missed opportunity. Arguably, both Scarlet Witch and Dr. Strange should be two of the most powerful heroes in the game. I'm hoping for some buffs down the road with these two great characters.
If his heal was a bit more potent and had a life leech and knockdown effect when hitting enemies, I think he might be pretty okay. It would help sustain him since he seems to eat hits while casting his other stuff. Also another synergy tag somewhere in his kit and I think he would be pretty balanced.
I really hope they add Antman in the future to the game. There’s too many mutants being added. Plus it feels weird having wasp but not having him. 😤 #FreeTheAnt
Doctor Strange was one of my favourite characters to play as in MUA1 rivalled only by my #1 fav character in that game and this one Deadpool and it kinda sucks that he’s just kinda meh in this one. I hope they make him better. Speaking of which I would very much like to see a guide for my main boy Wade Wilson at some point.
Agreed. He was always on my team in the original. Now he's never on it. He's one of my least played because why would I play him? He can heal but I'd rather just go with a team that has high defensive stats. He's the most disappointing character in the game for me sadly.
My favorite marvel caracther and he feels very "meh"... He is just not fun to play at all. I know he is support, but if look at it, only his binding attack is a useful support attack. The healing ability is pretty much useless.
I think Dr. Strange could use a rework. Maybe replace the healing ability because most characters are self efficient or can be with the right iso-8. A cool idea for a replacement ability would be where he opens portals behind enemies and blasts them with a surprise attack.
That joke at the first. That got me :) Great video. I really wanted this character to be good. I agree 100% on your take on this. Thanks this was helpful as always!
I made him work by unequiping that wack healing . Wasted move. Hes just a pure dmg and trash cleaner with bind now. When you unequip it he now will have energy reserves for other moves. With that heal skill out of rotation you see more binding.
I find a useful build option is to buff up his defences, as he is so fragile i normally give him damage resistance and improve his vitality, also the healing skill is best suited for after battles where you can heal the party afterwards in my opinion, everyone takes too much damage in battle for any healing ability to be worth it.
Yeah. Doc Strange's kit is strange. It's underwhelming for the most part as the only things he can do decently can be done by someone else in the roster more effectively.
I used him a bit early on. But never in actual game- just low leve infinity rifts. Before folk realised that Ms Marvel, Magneto and others were even better at this. Bolts of Balthak can shred some of the early wave ones- especially the first one on the Kree ship (because in that one the small size of the room means he hits everything) But yeah, I agree that he's really only good at dealing with trash, and some of the heroes who are better at trash kills than him are also good at other things. It's telling that when we're looking at casters, the big difference between Doctor Strange, Scarlet Witch and the likes of Storm and Crystal is that Strange and Wanda suck at synergies while Storm and Crystal are amazing at them. As a result, Storm and Crystal feel like really good parts of a team, and Strange and Wanda are just a bit underwhelming. I think it's less a better heal they need (although that wouldn't hurt), but better synergies.
I’ve been waiting for this one! Dr. Strange is a bit of a let down because he’s a lot of fun to play and his animations are so cool, he’s just too vulnerable to be viable. I am hopeful that in a future patch they can make him useful though! If his heal ability sapped health from enemies (a small amount like 10% of else it would be OP), if he got a vitality bump or even if they made his cast animations faster he’d be great to play. Fingers crossed Team Ninja read comment boards and stuff because everyone wants a better Strange!
Since they're Japanese and don't get redirected to Western websites, it's highly unlikely they will ever read our concerns. Even when I DM them in Japanese, they don't respond. I'm with you on this one though. What really grinds my gears about M:UA 3 is a total lack of animation cancelling. Like, why? It's a single player game, we're not versing anyone in PvP -_____- Strange would have no issues being viable if we could animation cancel.
I agree. I was kinda disappointed with strange but he is actually on my main go to team so i really enjoy him. Thanks for the heads up on the challenge too. Wow i was totally killing those orbs and could not beat the stage.. tried all night once
Him&scarlett i will not waste my time with u fortunately i have him@lvl40 after launch&stopped thankfully. Still glad u r making these vids keep it up bro bcuz they r highly appreciated!
Cant wait for when you do a magneto one :) love your guides. I am actually really disappointed by both scarlet and strange. Used them for 2 missions and then never used them again. They're too weak
Hopefully we get buffs for SW and DS on the Aug. 30th update. Also small stuff needed in UI for the Lab. We need to be able to see how many ISO 8s we have (not when its full)
These guides are amazing keep up the good work, you seem to be cranking these out super efficiently. What do you think about having a section of the video where you say where the moves originated from whether in the movies or the comic
Her light damage is really good. When she synergizes her basic move for single target it does good damage, and she can also clear a bunch of adds with her spin around move it's also amazing when she synergizes it. I spam that move quite often. It gets u out of danger as well. I use ability damage and light attack damage, cause I use my light attack quite often champion. Hope it helps with your guide. Or maybe it wont. Lol. It works for me.
Idk if my iso build for dr strange is good but i put *Increase durability by 27.4%(total)*- i put this because his durability is around 5,000 which is very low, I didn't focus on resilience because as you said he has a B in resilience *Gives 3.4% recovery every 10.0 seconds*- again he is still not a good tank with double green AA iso-8, that's why i equipped this on him Last one is your suggestions *increases ethereal damage by 19.2%* Again i dont know if these are good build i just want my dr strange to be good at taking hits no tanking, any suggestions?
I feel the problem with Strange is that the game does not favor his moveset. This game heavily emphasizes damage and shredding stagger, CC is not needed at all. Crimson bands sounds good on paper, it binds and leaves enemies open to attack. However because of the blasted stagger gauge it becomes useless for higher lvl enemies and bosses, yknow when you really need it. The winds are a mediocre heal, doesn’t do damage and only heals teammates and not you. The game is also working against you since you have to sit still while active and your ally AI is all over the place where they’re constantly moving and you can’t get a decent heal in. His damaging abilities aren’t great either needing you to either spam them or use them in combination which the horrendous EP regen of this game will not allow
He’s my favorite character in the game right now. His play-style feels like a mixture of Spider-Man and Thor. He’s my favorite out of all the web warriors 😁
I do talk about them in overview if they they have unique/interesting quirks but this doesn't happen often so by in large I ignore them as we don't have access to any tooltips for them.
Lmao the intro though but seriously why are the strongest characters in lore kinda garb like ghost rider can beat dr strange and witch but those 3 seem really bad is there a top team bonus without gamore psylocke or wolverine in it

Did they get any buffs?
I havent brought the game yet but scarlet witch and doctor strange are why I want to buy the game
@@justinhayward4186 sadly no

I was really excited to play as Doctor Strange because I really enjoy him in the MCU. I was sad to see how underwhelming he is in this game.
I really hope they add Antman in the future to the game. There’s too many mutants being added. Plus it feels weird having wasp but not having him. 😤 #FreeTheAnt

Omg! Thank you! I had no idea that the outer energy orbs charged the rocks! I faced this guy a bunch of times and it's always a drag!
That Dr Strange burn in the beginning of this video was MIGHTY Tony Bing.
I find a useful build option is to buff up his defences, as he is so fragile i normally give him damage resistance and improve his vitality, also the healing skill is best suited for after battles where you can heal the party afterwards in my opinion, everyone takes too much damage in battle for any healing ability to be worth it.
Yeah. Doc Strange's kit is strange. It's underwhelming for the most part as the only things he can do decently can be done by someone else in the roster more effectively.
Yup I was hoping to see him up here.
Oh and for the Dormammu part, the big explosion he does can also be preventive by that dark iso rock and charges it to full instantly.
I used him a bit early on. But never in actual game- just low leve infinity rifts. Before folk realised that Ms Marvel, Magneto and others were even better at this. Bolts of Balthak can shred some of the early wave ones- especially the first one on the Kree ship (because in that one the small size of the room means he hits everything)

Loving all your videos Tony!! What 4 characters do you see yourself using the most, basically what's your ultimate alliance build?
Thanks and possibly Cap, BP, Storm and maybe Star-Lord. Hard to choose only 4 :)
Oh good you're back!
I'd definitely like to see a Daredevil video, because he seems like he'd be up there with Ms. Marvel and Wasp.
Him&scarlett i will not waste my time with u fortunately i have him@lvl40 after launch&stopped thankfully. Still glad u r making these vids keep it up bro bcuz they r highly appreciated!
Imao look forward in time
Great job as always mate
Cant wait for when you do a magneto one :) love your guides. I am actually really disappointed by both scarlet and strange. Used them for 2 missions and then never used them again. They're too weak
Hopefully we get buffs for SW and DS on the Aug. 30th update. Also small stuff needed in UI for the Lab. We need to be able to see how many ISO 8s we have (not when its full)
Agreed I'm I have stop playing because of to many IOS 8's?
Love the vids man super well done and helpful! Any chance we could get Wolverine next?
That bit at the beginning was a super easy joke....but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't amused lol I'm loving these videos.
Not that easy. I had to google the number :P
@@TonyBingGaming 😂😂😂
This is ridiculous. Doctor Strange’s healing was so much better in UA1. All you had to do is activate and the whole team heals over time.
Many thanks for these videos! Great guides. 🤙
These guides are amazing keep up the good work, you seem to be cranking these out super efficiently. What do you think about having a section of the video where you say where the moves originated from whether in the movies or the comic
Thanks and I actually don't know that much comic book lore to do that ha ha :P
I learn a lot from your guides.
Can you do Thor or Ironman?
I’ve been waiting for this!
Love your guides, there really helpful
Will you be doing them on cyclops and collosus when they are released next week?
Hoping to get them both done day 1 :)
why doesn’t your XP gauge have any numbers ? why do all of your characters have a level of 100 ?
I done these guides when cap was 100.
Good video bro. I haven't tested him yet, and I might not waste my time. I will wait for a buff. Elsa is a beast tho. She is definitely top 5.
Sell me on Elsa. Have part of her guide done but she's not blowing me away.
Her light damage is really good. When she synergizes her basic move for single target it does good damage, and she can also clear a bunch of adds with her spin around move it's also amazing when she synergizes it. I spam that move quite often. It gets u out of danger as well. I use ability damage and light attack damage, cause I use my light attack quite often champion. Hope it helps with your guide. Or maybe it wont. Lol. It works for me.
I was so sad to see how low tier he is in this game. He was my main in the first alliance, fantastic video over again.
Idk if my iso build for dr strange is good but i put
*Increase durability by 27.4%(total)*- i put this because his durability is around 5,000 which is very low, I didn't focus on resilience because as you said he has a B in resilience
*Gives 3.4% recovery every 10.0 seconds*- again he is still not a good tank with double green AA iso-8, that's why i equipped this on him
Last one is your suggestions *increases ethereal damage by 19.2%*
Again i dont know if these are good build i just want my dr strange to be good at taking hits no tanking, any suggestions?
Edit: also his 1st ability melts HP but is trash against stagger bar
Buff stats that have high base numbers not low ones. As it's based on % you get much less for doing this.

Cool video! did you get 3 stars on his infinity solo mission? what level was he on when you did? a full playthrough would be nice .. :)
Yup. I'll try to do a video on it :)
i got 3 stars with level 77 . i used some of the iso-8s you listed
I’ll be right back , it’s time for me to go make some magic
Dude, I am loving these. Do you plan to this beginners guide type of video for every playable character? I hope so.
I sure do :D
Can we get Miles Morales? He seems *almost* good
Just started playing him. He is bro
He’s my favorite character in the game right now. His play-style feels like a mixture of Spider-Man and Thor. He’s my favorite out of all the web warriors 😁
TonyBing, I've come to bargain!
Tony go to the future and get me Blade and Moon Knight lol.
I had more fun with scarlet witch and level her up to 70
Did I chose it? Because I was the one to comment to your last beginners video.
And I replied to it. Team Strange triumphs on this day.
Thanks!
I feel like overall this game could use alot of patching and buffing lol
Love these videos, so helpful. Can u do Ms Marvel next??
I really wonder if the developers know how weak Wanda and Strange are? 🤔
Weird cuz I thought he was one of the hardest hitting in the game from what others were saying. Shame.
Idk what iso 8 I had on him but his light attack was melting the stagger gauge. Didn't see him using the light attack at all in the video.
Daredevil please:)
Most likely to be successful
How come you never cover ultimate abilities ???
I do talk about them in overview if they they have unique/interesting quirks but this doesn't happen often so by in large I ignore them as we don't have access to any tooltips for them.
Next Captain Marvel plz :'(
Lmao the intro though but seriously why are the strongest characters in lore kinda garb like ghost rider can beat dr strange and witch but those 3 seem really bad is there a top team bonus without gamore psylocke or wolverine in it
THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SINCE DAY ONE. Thanks Tony!!
Add me on the switch if you play online!’
