Psylocke
Псайлок
Psylocke is a telepathic ninja and psychic warrior capable of manifesting various weapons through sheer will. This trained ninja gracefully glides across the battlefield, dismantling enemy defenses with a single thought. Torn from her reality by a temporal rift and captured by the Collector, Psylocke escaped with new allies and now seeks other familiar warriors to end the conflict and return home.

- ▸ RMB (Wing Shurikens): Projectile speed for Wing Shurikens increased from 120 m/s to 150 m/s, and damage per individual shuriken increased from 9 to 10.

Rebalancing Psylocke's power axes: the Psionic Crossbow rotation is slightly slowed down, but Wing Shurikens become more reliable for sustained pressure.
- ▸
[LMB]Psionic Crossbow: cooldown reduction on hit decreased from0.25 sec.⇒0.3 sec.. - ▸
[RMB]Wing Shurikens: damage8⇒9.
Psylocke becomes slightly weaker at long range and during her ultimate — her dominance in the mid-range meta will decrease.
- ▸
[LMB]Psionic Crossbow: max. falloff at 30 m60%⇒70%. - ▸
[Q]Dance of the Butterfly (Ultimate): damage per hit170⇒160.
Psylocke was returning from Dance of the Butterfly too quickly — we are raising the energy threshold so that every execution feels earned.
- ▸
[Q]Dance of the Butterfly (Ultimate Ability): energy cost2800⇒3400.
Psylocke becomes significantly more dangerous in her ultimate: she loses only half of her mobility, but her strikes have become more lethal—Dance of the Butterfly now truly executes.
- ▸
[Q]Dance of the Butterfly (Ultimate Ability): self-slow30%⇒15%. Damage per hit150⇒170.
Psylocke was receiving too much free damage from the passive shuriken return — we are nerfing this specific phase to encourage active casts.
- ▸
[RMB]Wing Shurikens (return): damage12⇒8.
Adding opportunities to counter her ultimate.
- ▸
[Q]Dance of the Butterfly (Ultimate Ability): the ability now accounts for barriers (e.g., Magneto or Hulk) when checking targets.
