White Fox (Ami Han) is the first new character added to Marvel Rivals in Season 7, released on March 20, 2026. She's a 3 star difficulty Strategist with 275 health, and she plays very differently from most supports in the roster.
Who Is White Fox?
Ami Han is a South Korean secret agent and a mystical shape shifter descended from a race of nine tailed foxes known as the Kumiho. In Marvel comics, she was created by Young Hoon Ko and first appeared in Avengers: Electric Rain #1 in October 2014.
In Marvel Rivals, she fills the Strategist role, but she's not a traditional backline healer. Her kit is built around close and medium range fighting, letting her heal allies, deal damage to enemies, and brawl in melee depending on which form she's currently in. If you're used to playing pure support, she'll take some adjustment.
White Fox's Three Forms
White Fox's kit is built around three distinct states: her default form, her Awakened state, and her Kumiho form (Ultimate). A good chunk of her abilities are locked to specific forms, so knowing when to enter and exit each state is the core of playing her well.
- Baseline medium range Strategist
- Fox Marbles heal allies and damage enemies simultaneously
- Most defensive tools available here
- Best sustained healing output
- Partially transforms - physical tails appear
- Primary becomes Claw Strike, Shift becomes Predatory Pounce
- Continuously heals nearby allies on hit
- Spirit Tail energy drains - limited duration
Full Ability Breakdown
| Ability | Input | Form | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yeowoo Guseul | Primary Fire | Default | Fox Marble that bounces off terrain/heroes, homes in on nearest hero. Heals allies, damages enemies, restores Spirit Tail energy. |
| Claw Strike | Primary Fire | Awakened | Flurry of forward slashes. Damage mode - no healing. |
| Ninefold Slam | Primary Fire | Kumiho | Slams ground for an explosive shockwave. Hitting enemies or summons grants a burst of healing to self and nearby allies. |
| Spectral Surge | Secondary | Default | Costs 1 Spirit Tail. Spectral fox travels forward - heals allies and grants brief invulnerability; damages enemies and applies Charm. |
| Tail Sweep | Secondary | Awakened | Sweeps tails forward to launch enemies into the air. |
| Blessed By The Nine | Secondary | Kumiho | Target one ally to grant Continuous Healing, Unstoppable, and Lifesteal simultaneously for a short duration. |
| Spirit Sanctuary | Shift | Default | Teleport to a chosen ally. Heals allies in surrounding area and generates a projectile-blocking shield on arrival. |
| Predatory Pounce | Shift | Awakened | Forward dash. Connecting with an enemy slows them and flips over them, opening a second dash that knocks them back. |
| Fox Form Awakening | E | Default | Activates Awakened state. Continuously heals nearby allies. Hitting enemies triggers area healing. Drains Spirit Tail energy. |
| Kumiho Unleashed | Q (Ultimate) | Any | Full Nine Tailed Fox transformation. Continuous ally healing aura. Cannot receive healing from others for the duration. |
Spirit Tail Energy
Spirit Tail energy connects most of White Fox's kit. Your primary fire (Yeowoo Guseul) restores it, Spectral Surge costs one charge per use, and Fox Form Awakening drains it continuously. Running out limits your ability access significantly, so keeping an eye on this resource is a bigger part of her gameplay than it might seem upfront.
How to Play White Fox
Default Form - Sustain at Close to Medium Range
Default form is where you'll spend most of your time in team fights. Fox Marbles heal the closest ally and pressure the closest enemy after each bounce. It's a similar concept to Invisible Woman's playstyle, where you're applying pressure and healing at the same time rather than doing one or the other.
Staying at medium range in default form lets you reach the most allies without overextending. Resist the urge to shift into Awakened unless the situation actually calls for it.
Using Spectral Surge at the Right Moment
Spectral Surge is one of the more impactful abilities in her kit, but the window it creates is very short. A single second of ally invulnerability combined with enemies being charmed and forced to walk toward you can be enough to prevent a kill or let an ally land a risky ability they'd otherwise lose. The short duration isn't a weakness if you time it well.
- A melee ally diving into a group who needs a survival window
- Enemies about to burst a low health ally - a moment of invulnerability denies the kill
- Offensively, to pull enemies out of position during pushes
Fox Form Awakening - Flank Defense, Not a Default Mode
Fox Form is best used reactively rather than proactively. When an enemy melee hero dives your backline, activating it lets you fight back, clear the threat, and keep healing nearby allies at the same time. That's the scenario it's built for.
In open team fights where your team is grouped and you're not being pressured, staying in default form and throwing Fox Marbles is generally the better call. Awakened form drains Spirit Tail energy and removes access to Spectral Surge, so you're trading sustain healing for brawling capability. Make that trade when it's worth it, not as a habit.
Spirit Sanctuary - Save It for Something Real
Spirit Sanctuary is White Fox's most distinctive tool. No other Strategist can instantly teleport to an endangered ally and land a shield that blocks incoming projectiles on arrival. You can also use it as a personal escape by jumping to a safer teammate when things go wrong on your end.
- A diving ally who's low health and too far away to reach any other way
- A backline teammate being flanked with no help nearby
- Teleporting to a grouped ally just before a heavy enemy Ultimate lands
- Getting yourself out of a bad spot by jumping to a safer position
Don't spam it on minor threats. Having it ready for moments that actually matter is the whole point, and burning it on small pressure wastes the cooldown.
Kumiho Unleashed - Use It in Full Team Clashes
Kumiho Unleashed shifts White Fox from ranged healer to melee brawler. She heals allies around her continuously, but she can't be healed herself for the duration, so you need to stay aware of your own health while active.
The ability you want to use during this Ultimate is Blessed By The Nine. Granting a key ally Unstoppable, Continuous Healing, and Lifesteal at once is a big swing, especially for heroes who get interrupted out of their Ultimates constantly. Scarlet Witch, Star Lord, Spider Man, and Iron Man all benefit significantly from Unstoppable.
Team-Up: Blessing of the Kumiho
White Fox's Team-Up is with Luna Snow, called Blessing of the Kumiho. White Fox is the anchor. She grants Luna Snow a spirit fox that Luna can use for a burst of speed or fire forward as a projectile that heals allies while charming enemies in its path. Running both together adds a bonus healing and crowd control tool that neither hero gets on their own.
Best Team Compositions
Melee-Heavy Lineups
White Fox works well with melee heavy teams. Spectral Surge's invulnerability window is most useful for melee heroes who need to survive a dive or push through a fight. Fox Form lets her fight alongside them rather than retreating, and Predatory Pounce in Awakened state adds knockback utility in tight situations.
Heroes with Interruptible Ultimates
Blessed By The Nine makes White Fox a strong pairing for any hero that gets cancelled out of their Ultimate regularly. Scarlet Witch, Star Lord, Spider Man, and Iron Man all fit this category. Timing Kumiho Unleashed to line up with one of their Ultimates can turn a fight that would have been interrupted into a full, uncontested cast.
Luna Snow (Team-Up)
Luna Snow is White Fox's designated Team-Up partner. Running both on the same team activates Blessing of the Kumiho, which adds a bonus healing and Charm source to your team's kit.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
It's most valuable in specific, critical moments. Burning it on minor threats leaves you without it when something actually important happens.
Fox Form Awakening drains Spirit Tail energy the whole time it's active. Depleting energy partway through a fight cuts off your access to Spectral Surge and ends Awakened state early. In most team fights, default form is the safer choice.
The healing aura only matters if allies are nearby. Using it when you're separated from your team wastes the cooldown. Wait until your team is grouped and actively fighting.
During Kumiho Unleashed, this ability is one of the strongest things you can do. Figure out which ally benefits most - usually someone with a channeled Ultimate that's easy to interrupt - and use it proactively rather than hoarding it until the Ultimate ends.

Summary
White Fox rewards players who want active, deliberate support rather than pure backline play. Her kit asks you to track Spirit Tail energy, pick the right form for each situation, and time Spirit Sanctuary and Spectral Surge precisely rather than using them on cooldown.
For newer players, start by getting comfortable with Spirit Sanctuary. It's the ability that separates her from other Strategists and, once you can time it consistently, it changes what your team can survive. From there, learning when Fox Form Awakening is worth activating versus staying in default form, and reading the right moments for Spectral Surge, will make the biggest difference in how effective you are.
