Psylocke 
My odachi is sharp. My mind is sharper.
Psylocke is a high-difficulty duelist in Marvel Rivals, excelling at burst damage, mobility, and flanking. Her primary role is to dive into the enemy backline, eliminate squishy targets like strategists or ranged duelists, and disrupt team fights with her abilities. Psylocke's kit revolves around precision and timing, with tools like Psi-Blade Dash for engaging or escaping, Wing Shurikens for sustained damage and bonus health, and Psychic Stealth to reposition or ambush enemies. Her ultimate ability, Dance of the Butterfly, is a devastating area-of-effect attack that prioritizes under-targeted enemies, making her a lethal force in chaotic fights.
Psylocke thrives in team compositions that include vanguards like Hulk or Groot to distract and hold enemy attention while she flanks. However, Psylocke's low health pool makes her vulnerable to crowd control and burst damage from heroes like Iron Man or Scarlet Witch, requiring careful positioning and awareness to maximize her impact.
How to play Psylocke in Marvel Rivals
Psylocke's primary attack, Psionic Crossbow, is essential for reducing cooldowns on her abilities: use it consistently during downtime to ensure you always have tools available for your next engagement. Pair this with Wing Shurikens, which not only deal damage but also provide bonus health on hit, giving you added survivability during fights.
Dance of the Butterfly is excellent to pop in team fights. Activate it when enemies are grouped together around objectives or during chaotic battles, it prioritizes under-targeted enemies within its radius, making it highly effective for clearing out backline supports or squishy duelists. Be mindful of its energy cost and ensure you're positioned safely before committing to its use, and if the enemy team has a Luna Snow or Mantis then try to wait until those ultimates are used, as they will completely cancel out the incoming damage of Dance of the Butterfly.
Psylocke excels at one-on-one matchups but struggles against bulky melee heroes like Venom or Thor who can outlast her burst damage. In these scenarios, use her mobility tools and stealth to disengage and reposition rather than committing to unfavorable fights.
