Good synergy with AA.
FTFY
You can keep an opponent locked at 0 power if done right.
Alternatively you can apply an active power lock with sp2 and sp3. This is easy to keep reapplying because she consumes a psi charge on sp2 to generate enough power to have her sp1 ready immediately after. So you’ll have enough time to reach sp2 again just as it’s expiring.
Sp3 is a guaranteed power lock too and has a very long stun duration should it bring them to 0 power. This is always the case should you wait long enough to do so (should usually just be ready but you wait a few seconds at most if not). That gives you enough time for 2 5 hit combos followed by medium medium and then a third medium to open up your third 5 hit combo. You’ll build up 2 or 3 psi charges attacking the stunned opponent giving you the passive lock before the active lock expires. You can use this for a quick reset if you slip up and get hit. She is one of my favourite champs and is undoubtedly a better option for power control than the usual names like magik, Hawkeye etc. She’s incredibly useful and I wish I could get a 5*. Just one example of what she can do:
One caveat: she’s a bit lazy coming out of her Sp1 animation (at least mine is), so if you plan on parrying to drop another power gained Sp1 on the AI to lock down it’s power, practice to get the timing down.

She ain’t got s*** on Magik Lol. Fun to play, but Magik is leagues above Psylocke
In terms of power control that couldn’t be further from the truth. Psylocke has far more control than magik, she’s just a bit harder to use.
