How to play Iron Fist in Marvel Rivals
Iron Fist’s playstyle mainly revolves around a hit-and-run approach – meaning as a Duelist with low durability, he’s not great for extended fights unless supported by a reliable Vanguard like Hulk.
Charlie IntelThe key is to choose battles carefully. Target isolated enemies who are out of position, as Iron Fist excels in quickly engaging with K’un-Lun Kick. This ability, combined with Living Chi, significantly boosts his speed, damage, and attack range, enabling devastating burst damage.
If you find yourself under attack or caught off guard, K’un-Lun Kick can also be used to disengage. Additionally, Crane Leap and Wall Runner are excellent tools for creating distance and escaping dangerous situations.
Among all his abilities, Harmony Leap stands out as one of Iron Fist’s most valuable tools. This move not only allows him to heal but also temporarily increases his maximum health, reduces downtime and keeping him in the fight longer without needing external support.
If you want to give other Duelists a shot, then Hawkeye and Wolverine are excellent options for you. While one deals damage from a distance, the other excels in close-quarter fights.
