Spikes counters

Aren't doctor strange attacks considered energy attacks? Shouldn't him be immune to spikes?

Thorns damage affect every physical contact. So only projectiles bypass this.
Dr. Strange hits deal energy damage, but still make contact

Critical hits trigger damage from spiked armor so Crossbones is really the best answer if I understand your question correctly. I get your point though... not technically touching kind of deal. If it's Thorns , not spiked armor, then there's not really a great counter. Damage over time helps and so does regen champ.

Crossbones is actually good counter to thorns. It’s who I always use to use in the old war

Blade crushes all the bleeders. Just keep parrying until you get a L2 from bleed power gain.
