How to Play as Psylocke
- Psylocke’s greatest strength lies in her agility. She uses Psychic Stealth to slip past enemies unnoticed, then strikes with her Psionic Crossbow and Wing Shurikens to deal significant damage. She finishes with a powerful Psi-Blade Dash for an explosive final hit.
- Watch out for enemies with stun or immobilising abilities, as Psylocke is vulnerable if she gets pinned down. Pairing her with Magik is highly recommended. When Magik is in play, Black Panther and Psylocke can use Limbo to rewind a few seconds to their previous position. After emerging from Limbo, they also gain Bonus Health based on how much health they’re missing.
- Psylocke’s ultimate ability, Dance of the Butterfly, delivers massive damage over a wide area, making it perfect for clearing enemies near an objective. To make the most of it, activate Psychic Stealth first to approach the target area unnoticed.
- When leaving combat, try to recall your Wing Shurikens and use the cooldown reduction from Psionic Crossbow to activate Psychic Stealth and vanish. You can also use Psi-Blade Dash to escape and stay out of an enemy’s reach quickly.
