Phoenix stats in Marvel Rivals
Here’s what her stats will look like once she arrives:
- HP: 275
- Role: Duelist
- Difficulty: 3 stars
Jean Grey or Phoenix will join the Duelist roster once season three drops in July 2025. Her playstyle will be quite similar to Moon Knight, as she’ll specialise in AoE damage, and her self-healing ability is the cherry on top.
Best heroes to team up with as Phoenix
Since Phoenix has a Team-Up ability (Primal Flame) that directly benefits Wolverine, the mutant with adamantium claws would be the best hero to squad up with. Primal Flame will enhance Wolverine’s Feral Leap with AoE burning damage and lifesteal.
Other than that, she can team up well with other heroes, such as Adam Warlock, Doctor Strange, Mantis, Rocket Raccoon, Invisible Woman, Hawkeye, The Thing, and Luna Snow.
That said, Phoenix could be a great counter to Captain America, Cloak & Dagger, Groot, Venom, Peni Parker, and Magneto.
