Moon Knight: Who is Moon Knight in Marvel Rivals?

Moon Knight is a versatile Duelist in Marvel Rivals ^[1] who excels at controlling space and dealing burst damage through his unique bouncing projectiles and area-denial tools. His kit rewards precision, positioning, and creative use of his Ancient Ankh to set up devastating combos.

Moon Knight’s abilities in Marvel Rivals

Moon Knight’s playstyle is reminiscent of Zenyatta from Overwatch 2, combining ranged attacks with area control and mobility. His Crescent Darts and Moon Blade can bounce between enemies, and his placed Ankhs, allowing him to damage foes even behind cover.

Normal Attack

Crescent Dart: Fires a trio of crescent-shaped projectiles that can ricochet up to three times between enemies and place Ankhs, dealing 25 damage per hit with diminishing returns on each bounce.

Abilities

• Moon Blade: Launches a slow-moving blade that bounces up to three times between enemies and Ankhs, dealing 80 damage on initial impact with reduced damage on subsequent bounces. It also grants 25 bonus health per hit, up to 100.
• Ancient Ankh: Deploys an Ankh that pulls in enemies within a 5-meter radius, dealing 20 damage and setting them up for bouncing attacks. The Ankh remains on the field until destroyed
• Moonlight Hook: Fires a grappling hook that pulls Moon Knight towards the targeted location, allowing for quick repositioning or escape.
• Night Glider: Allows Moon Knight to glide through the air by holding the designated button, aiding in evasion and repositioning.
• Rising Leap: Performs a double jump, granting Moon Knight additional vertical mobility.
• Triple Eclipse: Executes a melee combo with his truncheon, with the third strike launching the enemy slightly into the air.

Ultimate Ability

Hand of Khonshu: After a brief delay, summons Khonshu's talons to bombard a targeted area, dealing 75 damage per hit over 4.5 seconds. The area of effect is small, making it most effective against clustered enemies.

Team-Up Ability

Lunar Force (with Cloak & Dagger): Creates a Light & Dark Realm area where Moon Knight becomes invisible, enhancing his ability to engage or disengage from combat.
