As mentioned, Psylocke's mobility is amazing. She can use her Psi-blade dash to escape danger. This ability can be used twice in quick succession, which lets her cover a decent amount of distance. Her Psychic Stealth is also very useful as it grants her more movement speed for a few seconds and even turns her invisible.


Playstyle

Psylocke is great for both medium and long range fights. Her Psionic Crossbow can be used to hit enemies further away, which also helps her regain other abilities quickly. This can then be combined with the Wing Shurikens to grant her bonus health while also doing a good amount of damage.

However, enemies will try to locate and kill her quickly, which is where her Psi-blade dash needs to be used efficiently. It can also be used to cut through enemies, causing a good amount of damage and maybe even getting a few kills of her own. Lastly, the Psychic Stealth will prove to be more beneficial in terms of escaping the opponents. Her invisibility can be used to go behind enemy lines and cause panic within the enemy team.


Team-up

The unique team-up ability can be activated with Magik. Using this, she can transport back to her location from a few seconds ago. This is great for dealing high amounts of damage and then quickly getting out of trouble. Moreover, it grants bonus health once the teleportation is done. Magik can also use this team-up ability with Black Panther.


Ultimate

Dance of the Butterfly is one of the strongest ultimate abilities in the game. With this, she can deal substantiala damage to enemies within a large radius. This can be especially useful when the opponents are grouped up and committing to a push toward your team. With this ultimate, she can guarantee some crucial multi kills.
