I just open a five star and got her opinions on her

She's a very good power controller. You just need to learn how to use her sp1.
Good synergy with AA.

A budget Magik

You can keep an opponent locked at 0 power if done right.

I would say she’s my favourite champ, nobody else has her level of control in fights and she’s better than magik for power control if you know how to use her. Her passive lock prevents willpower triggers and is not removed by masochism. Once you have that lock the majority of fights become easy. You can get them in a loop of intercepts where you 4 hit combo, back off and then dash back in as they start to come towards you. This can carry on until the fight ends so no need to parry taking chip damage and they can’t use specials. You’ll have increased crit damage and ability accuracy reduction as well which can come in handy against certain champs. Another way to use sp1 is to use it to drain their power and force them to drop below a power bar threshold. In doing so, psylocke gains enough power to have her sp1 ready again. Rinse and repeat.

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:

Can be a great power controller but takes a decent bit of skill.

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’s meh. Most youtubers don’t rank her high. I’d say magik or Dormammu are much better options

She’s a very capable champ but very squishy so don’t get hit. Once you learn how to power lock the opponents on 0 she becomes fun to play. She’s built for longer fights but you must be able to intercept at a very high level.

Shes a fantastic power control champ I have her at R4 as a 5* and a 6* everything everyone has said is true BUT her power lock to zero doesnt stop passive power gain eg: hyperion also I have found against killmonger his reverb damage can count as being hit and stop her 0 power lock.

She was my main attacker in aqaw and for questing. My personal fav. I have her awakened 4/55. Power enervate lock and heavy with high number of psi charges is amazing. One of the best sp 3 in the game
