Marvel Rivals is a new 6v6 third-person hero shooter from NetEase Games in collaboration with Disney's Marvel Games. It is a free-to-play title available across all current-generation platforms. Built on Unreal Engine 5, the game launched with eight original maps based on iconic landmarks seen in Marvel movies and comics.
Since its launch in December last year, the game has evolved with a large roster of characters with seasonal additions like the Fantastic Four. With the new upcoming Season 3 update, Marvel Rivals players are getting their first X-Men duelist Phoenix. Here's a look at her abilities in Marvel Rivals.
Marvel Rivals: Phoenix 101
Let us begin with a rundown of Phoenix in Marvel Rivals. Phoenix is a mobile Duelist character with the ability to take long and short-range fights. Here's a complete overview of Phoenix's move set:
- Cosmic Flames (Basic Attack): Jean Grey launches a fiery projectile forward, applying 1 Spark to enemies hit. Critical hits apply 2 Sparks. At 3 Sparks, Phoenix triggers a fiery explosion that applies 1 Spark to enemies around and Healing Over Time to herself.
- Endsong Inferno: Jean Grey soars into the sky with the Phoenix and crashes down onto a selected area, dealing devastating damage to enemies while creating a shockwave that destroys enemy summons, shields, and any bonus health. Enemies hit are applied with 1 Spark.
- Telepathic Illusion: Jean Grey leaves behind an illusion and instantly teleports in the desired direction, followed by detonating the illusion. Enemies hit are applied with 1 Spark.
- Dark Ascent: Jean Grey merges with the Phoenix, entering a state of free flight. She gains a movement boost while continuously replenishing ammunition.
- Telekinesis Burst: Jean Grey marks a targeted area with psionic energy, followed by a series of fiery explosions. The first blast stuns enemies, while the subsequent two explosions inflict slow. Applies 1 Spark to enemies hit.
Jean Grey is the first character to join the hero roster in Season 3, with Blade coming in the next seasonal update. From the looks of her abilities, it is apparent that Phoenix will be a worthy duelist to dominate the gameplay meta of Season 3.
