Iron Fist stands out as one of Marvel Rivals’s strongest figures with an array of extraordinary movements, including the capability to jump around in the air, wall run, and even deliver super massive Chi-fueled attacks. Whether you’re an experienced player or just starting out, learning to master his unique abilities can lead to exciting wins.
Highlights
Iron Fist is a powerful and probably the most OP Marvel hero in the game at the moment. He’s super quick and can use his inner energy, Chi, to unleash devastating attacks. Here are some of his coolest moves:
- Jeet Kune Do: This super-fast combo recharges his other moves faster.
- Yat Jee Chung Kuen: This powerful rush attack lets him close the gap on enemies and hit them hard.
- Living Chi: This buff makes him even faster and stronger and lets him attack from further away.
- K’un-Lun Kick: A powerful flying kick that deals increased damage to low-health enemies.
- Harmony Recovery: The ability to heal himself over time.
- Crane Leap: Triple-jumping that will give incredible mobility.
- Dragon’s Defense: This will block all kinds of attacks and can also be used offensively.
- Team-Ups: Luna Snow, Magneto, or Doctor Strange

How to Play as Iron Fist
Luna Snow is an excellent teammate for Iron Fist. When they’re together, she can unleash a powerful Chi attack that knocks enemies back and heals allies. She can also boost Iron Fist’s damage output with her ultimate ability.
Other great partners for Iron Fist are Magneto and Doctor Strange. Magneto can shield Iron Fist, while Doctor Strange can create protective barriers and teleport them to different locations. These abilities can help Iron Fist stay alive and deal more damage.

Iron Fist is known for his incredible mobility and fast-paced fighting style. He can jump three times in the air with his Crane Leap and even run along walls after certain attacks. This makes him a very agile and evasive character in battle.
Iron Fist’s Dragon’s Defense ability has a nice trick: every time you hit an enemy with Jeet Kune Do, it reduces the cooldown on Dragon’s Defense. You can activate this more frequently to save your skin. Using Living Chi will accelerate this reduction. To fully utilize this strategy, activate Dragon’s Defense before these abilities for an even reduced cooldown.
While Iron Fist is incredibly agile, he can have trouble dealing with heroes who can fly, like Iron Man, Storm, or Doctor Strange. These flying foes can stay out of reach of his attacks. However, if they do land on the ground, Iron Fist can quickly overwhelm them with his powerful punches and kicks.
Tips for Playing Iron Fist
- Prioritize Healing: Before you jump back into the fight or plan an attack, use your Harmony Recovery to heal up. It’ll give you a health boost.
- Smart Teamplay: Try to help your teammates finish off enemies. When you do, you’ll gain extra health thanks to your Chi Absorption ability.
- Know Your Limits: You can heal yourself but are not invincible. Don’t put yourself in too much danger.
- Defend Yourself: Remember to use Dragon’s Force to block enemy attacks and stay safe.
