Phoenix: Who is Phoenix in Marvel Rivals?

Phoenix is a duelist hero in Marvel Rivals. She combines ranged power, mobility, and crowd control with the ability to heal herself during combat. Her gameplay centers around stacking her Spark effect on enemies, which causes explosive chain reactions that damage foes and sustain her health. While she can dominate fights from range or mid-air, mastering her timing and resource management is key.

In the game’s lore, this version of Phoenix blends Jean Grey’s telepathy with the cosmic power of the Phoenix Force. She can fly into battle, disrupt enemy formations, and burn down opponents while supporting her team with self-sustain. Players who balance aggression with smart positioning will get the most out of her kit.
