Marvel Rivals Season 3 features a slew of new content, balance adjustments, a new map, plus Jean Grey/Phoenix as a new duelist hero! Read on for everything to know about this hero's abilities, ultimate, and more in Marvel Rivals.

Marvel Rivals Phoenix abilities

In terms of this hero's abilities, they appear to focus on burst damage and mobility. Based on our observations from the character reveal trailer, Jean Grey's primary fire builds stacks that explode after three hits. She can mark targets for area-of-effect (AoE) damage and dash while leaving a fiery blast behind as well.
