Psylocke’s abilities in Marvel Rivals

Psylocke thrives when leveraging her mobility and stealth to eliminate key targets. However, she is vulnerable when her abilities are on cooldown, so timing and positioning are crucial for maximizing her effectiveness.

Normal Attack

Psionic Crossbow – Fires a spread of 16 psionic bolts that deal damage to enemies. Each successful hit reduces the cooldowns of all her other abilities by 0.25 seconds. 

Abilities

Wing Shurikens – Launches a volley of five psionic shurikens that stick to enemies, dealing 14 damage per hit and granting Psylocke 10 bonus health per shuriken. Pressing the ability again recalls the shurikens, dealing additional damage.

Psi-Blade Dash – Dashes forward up to 12 meters, slicing through enemies along the path and dealing 50 damage. This ability has two charges and an 8-second cooldown.

Psychic Stealth – Enters stealth for 3 seconds, gaining a 50% movement speed boost. This ability has a 15-second cooldown.

Ultimate Ability

Dance of the Butterfly – Rapidly dashes around the battlefield for 4 seconds, becoming invincible and automatically striking nearby enemies with a psionic katana. The ability prioritizes enemies who have been hit the least, dealing 150 damage per hit.

Team-Up Ability

Mental Projection (with Emma Frost) – Emma Frost can form a mental link with Psylocke and Magneto, creating illusory projections that confuse enemies by mimicking their movements and abilities.
