How do I counter Psylocke?

[Mac Tonight]

Peni and Namor dont do anything to stop her.

my best answer is ping her and just use your movement abilities to try to avoid her

Punisher and Bucky give her a run for her money. If ya can hit your shots with Hela then for sure her. Invis Woman if you're good using your damage dome and can push/pull her into it for a few more bits of damage. And the Venom/Psylocke memes are there for a reason.

Edit: Should add that since she's a dive character that one of the best ways to counter them in general is to simply see them coming. So up your awareness and comm more if willing when ya know she's in play.

triple healers ; loki

I'll second Invisible Woman. The orb and the push ability plus being able to disengage with a double jump into invisibility can shut down most psylockes. A good Invis Woman is more trouble than she's worth for most divers/assassins.

I always have trouble against Squirrel Girl. Her stun ability is unbelievably annoying and she deals massive damage, which is very easy for her to hit at close range and she can also dodge most of Psylocke's attacks with her jumps. Unless you attack her from behind and by surprise and do your full combo to kill her fast she will most likely kill you. Bucky is also a pain in the ass to kill as Psylocke. Same thing with Sue Storm.

Lol the easiest counter is to play same hero. Otherwise you need to check what works.

I don't think you can counter her ulti tough, maybe with gamma / Magneto shield.

Skill issue. Peni has net, mines, powerful gun, and self healing.

Namor is good to spam final hits with his turrets. Also his ulti can stun / knowdown enemies. RTFM of heroes you play. 🙄

I've always used iron fist and done pretty well.

I prefer to use heroes who have instant projectile attacks, heroes like Hela or Adam Warlock for example. Heroes with stuns are also effective to stop her from going invisible or dashing.

Luna can deal with her very easily with her shift ability. Four hits with it she’s dead. For DPS Namor would work really well with his squids plus if you have a Luna, he gets an extra one. With those two characters, you shouldn’t have to worry much about her or any other dive DPS.

If your shift isn’t up just freeze her and left click the head.

I don't know what it's called, isn't hitscan the attack of Scarlet Witch where you hold and hover over the target?

This works as general advice. Making her visible to aware teammates makes her less of a threat. If you shred most of her health, most Psylockes will use their invisibility to break away, and you can then focus on regrouping, or just spamming mines/AOE on whatever obvious avenues of escape she has. Most go for health drops, so target those.

If she ults, good luck. Web swings or mobility attacks help, but not always. It's like Jeff or Storm; by the time you see the AOE ring you're already taking damage/done.
