This guide will explain how to play Iron Fist in Marvel Rivals, covering his abilities, combos, counters, and more.
Marvel Rival’s Iron Fist is one of the heroes with a high skill ceiling. His ability combo requires you to be fast and accurate, which can be hard to pull off against ranged enemies. However, he can be a fun hero to play once you have mastered his playstyle.
This hero is more than just a powerhouse in terms of damage output. He also has his utility and can heal himself. Additionally, he can also go on a defensive stance, gaining damage reduction and bonus health.
This guide will explain how to play Iron Fist in Marvel Rivals. We’ll also be diving into this hero’s abilities, combos, and counters, as well as a few tips and tricks below.
All Abilities of Iron Fist in Marvel Rivals
Iron Fist is highly mobile and can be very annoying to deal with in close-quarters combat. This is one of his main highlights, as you will need to capitalize on his quick movements to outmaneuver enemies.
Here’s a quick rundown of his abilities in the game.
| Ability | Description |
| Jeet Kune Do (LMB) | Strike the targeted enemy with Jeet Kune Do, reducing the cooldown of Block and Strike with every hit. |
| Yat Jee Chung Kuen (LMB) | Dash forward to pursue the targeted enemy and unleash a flurry of attacks. |
| Dragon’s Defence (RMB) | Assume a defensive stance with a boost of Chi to block incoming attacks and gain Damage Reduction, then strike back with Yat Jee Chung Kuen. |
| Living Chi (Q) | Become living Chi to boost his speed, damage, and attack range, delivering stronger punches while reducing the cooldown of Dragon’s Defense. |
| Harmony Recovery (E) | Cross legs and channel Chi, slowly gaining Bonus Health. |
| K’Un-Lun kick (L-Shift) | Dash forward, delivering a flying kick when hitting an enemy or reaching full range, dealing damage to nearby enemies. Damage increases with lower enemy health. |
| Crane Leap (Space) | Perform up to three consecutive jumps while airborne. |
| Wall Runner (Space) | Run horizontally along the walls. |
How To Play Iron Fist in Marvel Rivals
Mobility of Iron Fist
Most duelists in the game have built-in mobility. However, Iron Fist plays around with this gameplay mechanic as his kit revolves around moving and hitting fast. His Crane Leap allows him to jump three times while in the air. He can even run on walls on top of most of his offensive attacks having some sort of dash.
Survivability of Iron Fist
Another unique aspect of Iron Fist that most Duelists don’t have is its utility. He can heal a large chunk of health with his Harmony Recover. The Dragon’s Defense ability also grants damage reduction. And when you think it’s all that he has, he also gains bonus health when he contributes to an enemy takedown.
Iron Fist Playstyle and Combos
If you’re playing Iron Fist in Marvel Rivals, you will need to be brave enough to get up close and personal with your enemies. Despite his defensive capabilities, you still need to have a Strategist that can support you.
With every hit of Jeet Kune Do, the cooldown of Dragon’s Defense gets reduced. This means you can spam it to reduce the damage you receive in a fight. Activating Living Chi will further reduce the cooldown of Dragon’s Defense. Make sure to use your Dragon’s Defense before casting these abilities to capitalize on the cooldown reduction effect.
Best Team Compositions With Iron Fist in Marvel Rivals
Luna Snow is one of the best heroes to partner with Iron Fist. When they are on the same team, she can unleash a Chi attack that launches enemies away while healing allies. On top of that, Luna Snow can further build the damage output of Iron Fist with her Ultimate.
Other good heroes to pair with the martial arts master are Magneto and Doctor Strange. These two can apply shields on him or cast a barrier that can block projectiles. Additionally, Doctor Strange can summon portals that can be used to teleport into a location. This is useful when trying to escape or chase down enemies.
Iron Fist Counters in Marvel Rivals
Despite having high mobility, Iron Fist struggles against heroes who can fly. Think of heroes like Iron Man, Storm, or Doctor Strange. However, if they do hit the ground, they can easily be taken down with a flurry of punches and kicks.
Tips and Tricks To Play Iron Fist in Marvel Rivals
- Every time you respawn or think of attacking, use your Harmony Recovery first to receive bonus health.
- Always try to get assists in takedowns to activate the Chi Absorption passive and gain bonus health.
- You have healing, but you are not a tank. Don’t overestimate your utility.
- Don’t forget to use Dragon’s Force to block attacks and reduce the damage you receive.
