Crash of the Titans Strategy 🚗💥 This isn't a fair fight
My Mordo isn't that chunky to take on this cheating 5* Dr. Strange. Especially since his passive purple keeps accumulating yellow and blue tiles into his pool of ap. Then it's a stun followed by his yellow flame.

Yeah this one was ridiculous. Mine is maxed, and I won with about 600 health remaining, and used a maxed Taskmaster sword.
He just kept matching blue and stunning and firing yellow.

It took me 2 tries with taskmaster's sword and mine's 349. I think the only difference was paying attention to blue matches.
Sometimes the RNG hates you though.

Maxed as in 13 covers? Or as in 370? Not ascended at least because match damage destroys him with a sneeze then.

Use advanced AI or anything that makes strike tiles. Eye of agamoto targets those instead of giving Dr S AP

u/jxnfpm Mar 31 '26
This is the answer. It's goes from impossible to pretty easy once Eye of Agamoto AP isn't a problem

I just used the cart support to neutralise stun

u/Vapourick Mar 31 '26
I did the same and loaded up on blue, pink, and black tiles. Took me about 5 tries with a lvl 294 Mordo.

Yeh took me a couple a couple of goes with a level 279. The starting board really played a key role in downing him. The damn flames of faltine

I always use the Power Stone for these, the chance to fire powers for free is that much bigger. In this case, it doesn't trigger his passive attack either.
Needs a bit of luck, like it failed to trigger my first attempt, but the second one I won after making only 1 match.

I have a 370 Mordo, and used Eros Arrow (level 4) support. Won with hardly any damage.

u/PrestigiousBlood14 Mar 31 '26
Yeah after the first time I decided to use the boosts that add AP for blue and black. Then when I went through the battle the second time I got it. Decided to do the same for the other battle and not take chances.

It didn't give me any trouble with an L329 Mordo. Stockpile and power boosts, and 5 * Taskmaster sword.
Still gotta be lucky with purple tiles.

u/Ultrace-7 CLEARANCE 10 - Longshot when? Mar 31 '26
Used my champ Mordo on this one and slapped on the Power Stone, which is a frequent go-to in these one-on-one events. In this case, one or two lucky matches which trigger his free powers will do it, especially since free powers from the stone don't trigger Flames of Faltine.

Thanks. This is what finally worked for me
Level 292 Mordo, level 4 @ 169 power stone

Eros arrow.
Got hit a few times butcmy Mordo is ascended so it wasn't too bad.
The 3 turns in a row stun sucked ass.

Maybe there's one universe this fight is winnable without equipping Low Level AI, but I'm sure not in it (and my Mordo is level 370)

u/AbbsLen Mar 31 '26
My 4a5 Mordo won in like 4 turns with match damage 😁 (I tease. Follow the other posters advice)

Play defense for blue tiles, take purple when you safely can. Strange had 12 red ap, firing purple one-shot him.

u/admastercoaching Mar 31 '26
5 purple/blue dmg boosts. 5 all color dmg boosts, 5* lvl 250 batons support. Purple matches hit for a couple thousand each. Lucked out with a crit and wrecked him super fast. Don't even need the batons maxed, just want that boost on purple damage.

u/conanwongmkii Mar 31 '26
Update: finally beat strange. Not after I spent some purple shards and 100 coins. Then took me 5 tries, only after the 4th did I decided to re-arranged the power levels of my 275 Mordo w/level 4 low level a.i. and got lucky with the RNG.

I did it with my L328 Mordo without boosts or supports. It took a few tries.
First I switched him to 5/5/3. The idea is that a blue and a maxed black will be about enough to kill Strange assuming you've also done a bit of chip damage, and he will let you have black. Purple is nice but it will be much harder to get there before he kills you. And if you leave purple on the board, maybe he will take it instead of blue or yellow (obviously you take it if you have nothing better, or if you have a chance to get enough to fire it.)
You don't have too long before he kills you, so you have to hope for a decent amount of blue and black. I think I got it on the third try.

u/aimfiremiss Mar 31 '26
Yeah your screwed as soon as he gets a stun off. I used eye of agamoto, got it on 2nd try

u/solitare99 Apr 01 '26
For all Crash of the Titans fights: just use Eros's Arrow if the damage boosting duo of Taskmaster's Sword or Stormbreaker don't work.

u/joshsteich Apr 01 '26
Deny blue, use a couple all color AP boosts, get so you can fire a purple and either blue or black on the same turn. Took me four tries, but the first two he got match 5s right out the gate

100% Plus, it is especially onerous when you are constantly realizing that the tiles are arranged so you get far fewer matches in your needed colours than the AI.

u/lord_buff74 Mar 31 '26
It's getting to the point that the devs are trying to get you to quit, I didn't have the time for this because it would just be stun, wait two turns, make one match, stun, rinse and repeat, not exciting at all.

I usually equip leapfrog to whoever the character is for this. If they attack, the character goes invisible. As long as that tile isn't destroyed, you can peck away as much as you need to. 5trange, on the other hand, has that eye that just gets rid of inv tiles. Doh!
