Iron Fist (or Lin Lie) is arguably one of the strongest melee fighters in Marvel Rivals. The immortal Iron Fist power of the dragon Shou-Lao makes this martial artist extremely powerful in close combat battles. While he excels in close-mid-range battles, characters with ranged attacks can become a significant threat to Iron Fist. If you are having trouble fighting Iron Fist in Marvel Rivals, then you should try out these heroes to counter him effectively.

1) Black Widow

If we run a list of the best long-range shooters in Marvel Rivals, Black Widow undoubtedly tops the list. As a master sniper, she can effortlessly eliminate her foes from a safe distance. Like any duelist, Iron Fist has a low health pool (250), which makes it easier for Black Widow to pick him off with a few shots.

Her Straight Shooter ability allows her to eliminate Iron Fist with a single shot. In the event that Iron Fist gets close to Black Widow and catches her off guard, she can counter him with her Widow’s Bite Baton attack and Edge Dancer ability.

2) Hawkeye

Next up we have another top-tier hitscan sharpshooter Hawkeye. Every Marvel fan knows how accurate Hawkeye is with his arrows, as he never misses his shot. Hawkeye’s dual-type arrows make him a significant challenge for characters like Iron Fist.

With just a few hits from his arrows, Hawkeye can easily take down Iron Fist from a distance. His shots become even deadlier with his passive ability, Archer’s Focus. Additionally, Hawkeye’s katana and wakizashi allow him to escape Iron Fist’s close combat encounters.

3) Iron Man

Iron Man is a duelist with high mobility, which makes it harder for any character to catch him. As a result, Iron Fist doesn’t stand a chance against Iron Man, as he cannot reach him no matter how hard he tries.

If Iron Fist tries to close the gap with his Crane Leap, Iron Man can swiftly get away from him by entering Hyper-velocity mode. Several clean shots from Iron Man’s Unibeam and Repulsor Blast quickly end the reign of Iron Fist.

4) The Punisher

The Punisher would be an effective counter against Iron Fist, as the duelist possesses immense firepower. Although he is not as mobile and flexible as the above characters, he remains a worthy opponent, especially with his vast arsenal of weapons.

The Punisher’s Automatic Rifle and Culling Turret pose a serious threat to Iron Fist. Additionally, the one-man-army duelist can also deal significant damage to Iron Fist at close range by switching to his Shotgun.

5) Hela

Lastly, we end our list with another hitscan duelist Hela. Being one of the OP characters in Marvel Rivals, the Goddess of Death effortlessly ends the fight with Iron Fist. Hela’s Nightsword Thorn and Piercing Night will be a huge threat to Iron Fist, as these ranged attacks are more than enough to eliminate him.

She also has several means to counter Iron Fist in close combat, as she can stun him with Soul Drainer or escape by transforming into a Nastrond Crow with Astral Flock.
