How to Play as Psylocke
- Psylocke is one of the toughest Duelists to master in Marvel Rivals, with five-star difficulty; however, with some practice and perfect handling, she can easily take on anything that comes in front of her and rule over the battlefield.
- If you find Psylocke hard to play, try getting basic attacks to land as often as you can. Those cooldown reductions are her ticket to victory. Practice in Practice mode or against Bots in a custom match to get some skills polished up before hitting the online multiplayer queue.
- The best attribute Psylocke has is manoeuvrability. She closes in on her enemies with Psychic Stealth unnoticed and then deals the finishing damage with Psionic Crossbow and Wing Shurikens to take them out. Her finisher would be the Psi-Blade Dash.
- When leaving combat, try to recall Wing Shurikens if you can, and use the cooldown reductions from Psionic Crossbow to activate Psychic Stealth and vanish. Psi-Blade Dash can also be a great escape tool to quickly get out of an enemy’s reach.
- Watch out for enemies with stun or immobilizing abilities, as Psylocke is quite vulnerable if she’s pinned down. Pairing her with Magik is highly recommended – the Psionic Disc combo is fantastic for jumping in and out of fights effectively.
- Psylocke’s ultimate is the Dance of the Butterfly, which will deal tons of damage over a wide area and has the perfect ability to clear enemies around an objective. To use it effectively, first activate Psychic Stealth to sneak into the target area undetected.
