How To Play Iron Fist
Focus on the enemy’s backline: The backline often consists of snipers or healers that make their impact on the game while staying distant from the fight. Iron Fist’s movement allows him to creep up on the enemies’ backlines without being noticed and take out menacing characters such as Hawkeye.
Staying alive: Although Iron Fist has a high damage output, he has low health, meaning you can be eliminated quickly if you’re not careful. This is why it is important to use your movement to evade the enemy’s attacks. Whenever you’re low on health, find a corner and use your ‘E’ ability to quickly recover. It is also a good idea to stay near a healer who can constantly heal you so you don’t have to worry about your health.
Eliminate problems for your team: Iron Fist is great at taking out single units and can even take on some Tanks by himself. So, your main goal should be to take out characters that are giving your team a hard time. This will make it much easier for your team to progress.
Use your kick to finish off enemies: New players often use the K’un Lun Kick (Shift) to initiate fights since it moves you closer to the enemy. While this is not a bad idea, you should try and save your kick for when your enemy is low on health. This is because this ability deals more damage to enemies with low health.
Don’t get isolated from your team: When playing Iron Fist, it is easy to get separated from your team when trying to chase down opponents. Even when using your ult, a well-placed shot from a sniper can take you out. So, make sure you’re near your tank or at least a healer so you can survive longer.
Conclusion

Practice your movement and combos with him, and try to adapt your playstyle to the environment when necessary. This adaptability will take you a long way in your journey with Iron Fist.
