Iron Fist is a Duelist hero who is capable of dealing a lot of damage fast. He is a difficult hero to play due to being a melee champion. However, his exceptional mobility and high damage are certainly a pair of traits that will make your time spent playing Iron Fist worth it. Let’s learn more about him below.
Iron Fist is a Duelist melee hero. He is one of the harder characters in Marvel Rivals due to his reliance on melee attacks. While strong, Iron Fist is a squishy character, and you will need to be very careful when playing him because enemies can kill you in a matter of seconds. He is a reliable character to go into a fight and absolutely obliterate the enemy line. His Normal Attacks are a powerful series of punches and kicks that can be further enhanced when Iron Fist uses his skill [Dragon’s Defense]. When his Normal Attacks are enhanced, Iron Fist can deal a ton of damage in a short amount of time, and knowing when to jump in and deal this damage is a dealbreaker when playing this hero.
In addition to his damaging abilities, Iron Fist has a good amount of mobility thanks to his [Crane Leap] skill, triple jump, and infinite wall run. All three of these tools will allow you to quickly position yourself in the midst of battle. The last thing you should know about Iron Fist is his ultimate [Living Chi]. This is a buff-type ultimate that increases your speed, damage, and attack range. While in the Living Chi state, you are capable of quickly destroying enemies, but you are still vulnerable, so be careful. Iron Fist is a powerful champion to have in your arsenal, and although his melee playstyle makes him a tough champion to master, he is hella fun once you do.
