How to Play Jean Grey in Marvel Rivals: 5 Key Tips

Master the Spark Stack Mechanic: Jean’s Pyrokinetic Surge and Telekinesis Burst apply Spark stacks, triggering explosions after two stacks. Prioritize landing these abilities in quick succession on grouped enemies to maximize AoE damage and chain reactions, especially in tight spaces or objectives.
Use Dark Ascent for Mobility and Positioning: Activate Dark Ascent to gain free flight and ammo replenishment. Use it to reposition above choke points, dodge high-damage ultimates like Hulk’s, or chase down low-health targets. Save it for critical moments to maintain map control.
Time Endsong Inferno for Maximum Impact: Her ultimate, Endsong Inferno, is devastating but requires precise timing. Use it to disrupt enemy ultimates (e.g., Hela’s or Magneto’s), clear summons (Groot’s walls, Rocket’s beacons), or wipe objectives. Aim to hit multiple enemies during the ground slam for maximum AoE damage.
Leverage Telepathic Illusion for Survivability: Telepathic Illusion lets you teleport and leave an explosive afterimage. Use it to escape divers like Wolverine or to bait enemies into traps near objectives. Place afterimages in high-traffic areas to apply Spark stacks and disrupt enemy pushes.
Synergize with Primal Flame Team-Up: Pair with Wolverine and Blade to amplify team fight presence. Support Wolverine’s dives with Telekinesis Burst to slow enemies, and use your ultimate to clear space for Blade’s wolf summons. Coordinate with them to control objectives or counter enemy backlines effectively.
