How To Play Counters and Synergies Abilities Team-Ups Skins & Costumes

Moon Knight is a versatile duelist in Marvel Rivals, excelling at sustained damage, area control, and tactical positioning. His unique kit revolves around bouncing projectiles, mobility, and crowd control, making him a strong pick for disrupting enemy formations and dealing consistent damage. Moon Knight thrives in chaotic team fights where enemies are grouped together, as his Crescent Darts and Moon Blade can bounce between targets for massive damage. His ability to place Ancient Ankhs strategically allows him to control key areas and amplify his damage output.

Moon Knight works best in team compositions that include vanguards like Hulk or Groot, who can hold the frontline while he operates from a safe distance. He also synergizes well with strategists like Doctor Strange or Scarlet Witch, who can provide crowd control to keep enemies grouped for his abilities. However, Moon Knight's reliance on positioning and relatively low health make him vulnerable to flankers like Black Panther or Spider-Man, requiring careful awareness and map knowledge to succeed.

How to play Moon Knight in Marvel Rivals

Start fights by placing Ancient Ankhs in choke points or near objectives where enemies are likely to group up. This ability pulls enemies toward its center and sets them up for your bouncing projectiles. Follow up with Moon Blade, which deals AoE damage and bounces between targets, then spam Crescent Darts to deal sustained damage while enemies are clustered.

Smart timing of your ultimate ability, Hand of Khonshu, is crucial for turning the tide of battle. This ability summons Khonshu's talons to bombard an area with high AoE damage. Use it when enemies are grouped together during objective fights or after pulling them in with your Ankh. Coordinate with teammates who have crowd control abilities to ensure maximum impact.

Moon Knight's success depends on precision and adaptability. Focus on targeting squishy backline heroes like Luna Snow or Adam Warlock, as your bouncing projectiles can hit them even when they're behind cover. Avoid prolonged engagements against high-mobility heroes like Iron Fist or Spider-Man, as they can outmaneuver you and destroy your Ankhs before you gain value from them.

Moon Knight Lore in Marvel Rivals

"Come to me, my Moon Knight!" The ancient voice boomed in the back of Marc Spector's brain, momentarily throwing him off his game. It wasn't as if hearing someone else's words in his head was something new. He'd been sharing the space with multiple personalities for years now. But this wasn't Jake Locksley or Steven Grant calling for his attention. It wasn't even the enigmatic Mr. Knight. This was the boss. "I'm a bit busy…" Spector replied out loud, as he thrust his white boot into the face of yet another garishly garbed super-villain, "…trying to keep the Zodiac from ransacking one of your temples. You sent me here, remember? So, you'll need to call back another —" "NOW," the voice commanded. A sudden burst of pain coursed through Spector's skull. He closed his eyes for a moment to try to clear his head. And when he opened them again, he was no longer at the heart of an epic battle between good and evil. In fact, he was nowhere. Okay, so "nowhere" might be a bit dramatic. But it's the best that Spector could come up with to describe the blank white space between planes of reality that he had unexpectedly been t...Read Moon Knight's full Marvel Rivals lore
