How to play Psylocke

Overview & game plan

A psychic ninja with a sixth die: Manifest boosts or completes every roll, Paralyze switches off enemy status engines.

If after roll 1 5× Starlight for Otherworlder! are reachable. Keep 5× Starlight and reroll all dice not needed, aiming at Otherworlder! (5 dice). If fewer than 5 matching dice remain after roll 1, switch to Blade Dance. Otherworlder! deals a documented 11 damage and applies paralyze, so the 5 committed dice stay on the table.

Strengths

The Manifest die every turn: +1–3 damage OR replace one die
Paralyze: the opponent cannot gain or inflict ability statuses for a round
Agility halves on 1–3; Infiltration forces defense rerolls
Blade Dance: 6 undefendable + Agility + Infiltration

Weaknesses

Clandestine prevents 0 – without Agility tokens she is soft
No sustain, no healing – tempo is her only currency

Concrete playing rules

Resources

Manifest (6. Würfel): Rolled with the first attempt of every offense: either +half its value (rounded up, +1–3) on the attack OR replace one normal die – never both. Automatic every turn. Replace when it completes the 4× starlight or straight chase; otherwise +1–3 on the hit.
Agility / Infiltration: Agility (max 2): roll 1 die, on 1–3 the hit is halved (not against ultimates). Infiltration (max 2): force a reroll of one die in ANY defense roll. Parry, Blade Dance, Stealth (small straight), Clandestine combos, ultimate. Agility pairs against big hits (two successes = 0 damage). Infiltration against enemy slide/worthy blocks – or on your own defense.
