Marvel Rivals: Iron Fist Guide

Here's a quick Iron Fist guide for Marvel Rivals.

Iron Fist is a fast-paced Duelist in Marvel Rivals that excels at close-range combat and taking out high-value targets. His good mobility lets him reach the enemy backline quickly, making him one of the best heroes to take out Strategists and isolated Duelists. He does insane damage but Iron Fist is more about positioning and ability management than it is about running headlong into every encounter.

Prioritize the Right Targets

Your primary objective is to exert pressure on the weak enemies, not to fight with tanks on the frontline. Don't jump into the enemy backline until your team begins an engagement. Opponents are forced to divide their attention, and you can get quick kills before retreating or moving to another target. If you dive too soon, you’re often focused down before you have any impact.

Make the Most of Your Mobility

Mobility is one of Iron Fist’s best strengths. He can move well enough to climb high places, chase down running enemies, and get out of dangerous situations. Use the side roads and the high ground if you can. Flanking not only increases your chances of surprising enemies, but makes it much more difficult for ranged heroes to stop your attack before you get into melee range.

Time Dragon's Defense Correctly

One of Iron Fist's most valuable skills is Dragon's Defense. Most players activate it straight away but it works much better if timed to soak up incoming damage. Using it after enemies have committed to attacking lets you survive longer and unlock stronger follow up attacks. A losing duel can easily be turned into a winning one by right timing.

Get The Hang Of Your Combos

Use your gap-closing abilities to initiate on an enemy, then follow up with basic attacks and activate Dragon's Defense when the opponent begins to retaliate. Keep pressure until the target is down, then reposition instead of sitting in the middle of the enemy team. Iron Fist can move quickly from one isolated target to the next, but is not so good in long brawls.

Use Your Ultimate at the Right Time

His ultimate is best utilized in large team fights. Don't use it for a single elimination, wait until there are multiple enemies together or your team has already started. If they can’t target Iron Fist right away, he can quickly overpower several opponents with increased offensive power and shorter cooldowns.

Last Tips

The biggest mistakes new players make are diving alone, ignoring positioning, and sticking around in combat too long after getting a kill. Iron Fist rewards patience, smart target selection and constant movement. Learn these basics and you’ll be able to rip through enemy backlines on a regular basis, making you one of the most dangerous Duelists in Marvel Rivals.
