These heroes are considered the best counters to Psylocke in Marvel Rivals, who pose a serious threat to the psychic ninja.
All characters in Marvel Rivals have unique strengths and weaknesses, making the game more balanced. As a result, a character’s weakness can be used to counter them during the battles. Characters like Psylocke are overpowered on their own, however, they can be countered effectively with the right heroes.
Psylocke (or Sai) is a psychic ninja who can deal high damage in close to mid-range combat with her psionic weapons. Although one of the most difficult characters to master, she will easily overpower others when placed in the right hands. Let’s look at some of the best heroes in Marvel Rivals who act as effective counters to Psylocke.

1) Hawkeye
Psylocke is a ranged duelist who excels in close-mid range, leaving her vulnerable in long-range battles. Psylocke’s survival skills won’t work effectively against a long-range shooter like Hawkeye.
An expert Hawkeye main can single-shot Psylocke using Archer’s Focus ability, which leaves no chance for the kunoichi. Hawkeye’s ultimate ability, Hunter’s Sight, allows him to track the Afterimages, and Psylocke can’t escape from his arrows.
2) Black Widow
Next up we have another long-ranged sharpshooter, Black Widow. The hit-scan duelist is a master at dealing serious damage from a long distance with her rifle. Black Widow’s Red Room Rifle is one of the strongest weapons every character should avoid. Several well-placed shots will easily take down Psylocke. With her Straight Shooter ability, she can even end Psylocke’s reign with a single shot.
3) Mantis
Mantis, one of the best strategists in the game, can effectively counter the psychic ninja. With the best healing abilities, she can heal herself constantly using Life Orbs, mitigating the damage inflicted by Psylocke.
Besides healing, she has damage-boosting abilities such as Natural Anger, which allows her to take out enemies more effectively when combined with Spore Slumber. Spore Slumber plays an essential role in the battle, as it stuns Psylocke and restricts her movement, providing a tactical advantage for Mantis to seamlessly eliminate the psychic foe.
4) Hela
Hela, another hit-scan duelist, would make a good addition to the list. The Goddess of Death’s ranged attacks, Nightsword Thorn and Piercing Night, can defeat Psylocke. If Psylocke plans to gain any tactical advantage by sneaking up using Psychic Stealth, Hela has Astral Flock to counter it.
The ability allows her to transform into Nastrond Crow, helping her to escape any ambush or get to an advantageous position. Apart from her powerful ranged attacks, she can also stun Psylocke with the Soul Drainer ability, leaving no choice for Psylocke but to surrender.
5) Peni Parker
Lastly, we have a Vanguard on our list, Peni Parker. With the help of her suit SP//dr, Peni Parker can cause serious trouble to opponents. Throughout the battle, she can summon various things such as Arachno-Mines, Spider-Drones, and Cyber-Webs to gain the upper hand during the battle.
This adds an extra layer of advantage to Peni Parker apart from her larger health pool. Psylocke will surely face difficulty tackling all these, making Peni Parker one of the best counters to her.
