Marvel Rivals Phoenix Guide – How To Master The Hero3 min read
Marvel Rivals Season 3 recently introduced Phoenix to the game, who has proved to be one of the most lethal characters. She’s one of those characters who rewards clever positioning, accurate aim, and blows up grouped opponents like popcorn. If you’re looking for a hero with all these qualities, Phoenix should be your new DPS choice. Here’s how you can master her!
Phoenix Abilities
For some time now, rumors have hinted at Phoenix and Blade’s arrival in Marvel Rivals. Fans were thrilled to see the former land with her Flame Vector weapon in hand, a mid-range energy weapon. Phoenix is excellent when it comes to poking enemies from strange angles, starting up chain reactions, and escaping when things start getting a bit too intense for you to face.
Her Cosmic Flame ability allows her to fire a projectile that can stun on the first hit and apply Sparks, whereas the later hits simply slow down opponents. Her Phoenix Force ability can activate flight mode for a brief period. It allows the character to shoot and reposition. However, while it is activated, Phoenix won’t be able to use any of her other abilities during flight.
Her Psychic Shift ability helps her perform a short dash that explodes behind her, which in turn applies a Spark to nearby opponents. Her Passive allows her to heal a little every time an enemy blows apart from Sparks. It also applies new Sparks to nearby enemies, building a lethal chain reaction. Her Ultimate, You Are Nothing, turns her into a flaming bird.
She becomes impossible to target, and while she’s in this form, she can freely fly and crash down in a huge explosion. It’s always best to play her while she’s flanking, poking, and wreaking havoc from different angles. It’s highly recommended that you engage in fights by getting one to two Sparks on several foes. Once they’re stacked, the first explosion sets off a chain reaction.
How To Play Phoenix?
You can use Cosmic Flame to either start explosions or lock down the foes trying to escape. Make sure to land a headshot or a body shot while getting dived, and then instantly dash off to trigger an explosion to escape. It’s a powerful defensive tactic. Phoenix’s melee applies a Spark, which means that if your opponent gets close, a headshot melee combo causes an explosion.
In addition to escaping, you can also use flight (E) to reposition and recharge your ammo. While that happens, you can poke, fly in the air, regain your ammunition, and then land on the ground once the cooldowns are good to go. The ultimate is your secret weapon. You can use it once you see a bunch of grouped opponents who possess defensive abilities or bonus health.
You can also boost the hero’s proficiency to skip the grind, unlock exclusive rewards, and instantly elevate your hero ranks. The ultimate can remove your enemies’ shields, kill summons, and counter almost every defensive ultimate. It’s worth noting that the hero only possesses 400 HP in this form, so make sure not to hover for a long time or someone will shoot you down.
Conclusion
That’s all there is to know about mastering Phoenix in Marvel Rivals Season 3. It will take a lot of practicing, but you’ll get used to the character in no time. You can try boosting your ranks from the MitchCactus website, earn rewards, and reach your dream rank in the game. Marvel Rivals mods are an exciting way to shake up the gameplay, so make sure to do your research!
