Marvel Rivals Marvel Rivals White Fox Character Guide

Kumiho is the only hybrid melee and ranged Strategist in Marvel Rivals. Sly like a fox, she excels at evading enemy dives and flanks with her teleport and dashes.

In Awakened fox form, she can go on the offense and burst down targets with quick combos and crowd control abilities. Fox's form is also an amazing anti-dive tool, allowing her to even the playing field by counterattacking.

One of her notable weaknesses compared to the meta Strategists is that her ult feels a bit limited in comparison. To keep healing herself and be able to continuously send out fox blessings, she needs to constantly claw-slam enemies. However, her huge hurt box and inability to be healed by any other sources makes this a double-edged sword that is equally dangerous to Kumiho.

In the current meta, she fits in triple Strategist or when paired with a high healing output Strategist like Cloak & Dagger. The bounce mechanic gives her unique playmaking capabilities, especially around corners. Pick her up, and even if you don't main White Fox, she's definitely worth learning as a counter pick against the divers like Black Panther that are harder to deal with than ever thanks to the universal CC resistance introduced in Season 7.
