Playstyle

Iron Fist is an "in your face" type of hero. He gets the most value in close-range encountersa. Yat Jee Chung Kuen can deal loads of damage, especially when combined with the K'Un-Lun kick to initiate an attack. Meanwhile, Jeet Kune Do is a reliable tool to do a decent amount of damage. This hero can be extremely fun when players get the hang of his style.

Team-up

The team-up ability, Dragon's Chill can be activated when used with Luna Snow. However, one thing to note is that Luna is the only one who can activate an ability l, making it a passive for Iron Fist. In this, Luna shoots her ice powers into a frosty ring. The enemies hit by this will be slowed down and take damage. This ability will also simultaneously heal her allies.

Ultimate

Living Chi is an ultimate that can absolutely shred the enemies. It's best unleash when enemies are close to each other for maximum impact. This ability also has a slightly longer range and lasts for a total of 12 seconds. Living Chi also ends up reducing the cooldown for Dragon's Defense.
