Marvel Rivals How To Counter Psylocke

Psylocke is a powerful mid to close-range DPS character in Marvel Rivals. She specializes in being an assassin-type character, taking flanks and hitting the enemy backline when the opportunity arises. A good Psylocke is bad news for any squishy character; she deals high burst damage and can quickly single-combo a squishy target before they even realize they are dead.

How to Counter Psylocke as a Healer

• Listen for sound cues. Psylocke’s favorite combo is getting close while invisible and using her main attack combo to quickly kill you or force you to waste your precious healing skills for self-sustain.
• When invisible, Psylocke will always shout “Out of sight” (or something similar). Listen for it and fire randomly at doorways or paths where Psylocke could be flanking. You’ll be surprised how often you can catch her this way.
• Always stay mobile. Psylocke’s main attack is a two-burst spread fire, which is very hard to land on moving targets. Don’t try to duel Psylocke directly—keep moving and stay nimble.
• Carry self-sustaining tools. Abilities like Cloak and Dagger’s bubble can save you from her dives and buy time for allies to help.
