Psylocke is one of the countless Duelist heroes in Marvel Rivals. She is an assassin-type hero who focuses on going in and out of the battlefield. Psylocke is one of the hardest, if not the hardest, champions to play in Marvel Rivals, but that difficulty can also prove to be rewarding should you master playing her. Let’s learn more about Psylocke below.
Psylocke is a Duelist hero who excels at dealing damage to enemies. She has various tools that help her deal damage, but she also has a good amount of survivability to help her escape from sticky situations. Her normal attack is her most useful ability, as it reduces the cooldown of all other abilities when you land hits. This makes Psylocke a character that requires a high skill cap, as the more attacks you land, the better you will perform. Being a squishy character, Psylocke relies on having her [Psi-Blade Dash] and [Psychic Stealth] abilities to escape. If you can land Normal Attack those abilities will be off cooldown most of the time, allowing you to make some sick plays.
Lastly, Psylocke’s ultimate is nothing unique, but it deals a ridiculous amount of damage while also making Psylocke invulnerable during its duration. Knowing when to use this ultimate can stir team fights in your favor by allowing you to destroy the enemy team while coming out alive.
