• Difficulty level: 3 stars
• Team role: Duelist

Moon Knight's role in Marvel Rivals is Duelist, meaning his primary goal is to dish out as much damage as possible and pick up key kills during combat. Whether you're racing for objectives or setting up a perimeter around attack points, Moon Knight can creep down and make it impossible for enemy heroes to pass through specific points on the map.

Here's a quick overview of all his abilities within Marvel Rivals:

Moon Knight's abilities allow him to deal massive damage to enemy heroes when grouped together. Because his basic attacks ricochet between nearby targets, Moon Knight specializes in controlling choke points on the map, preventing access. In addition to that, he also has plenty of mobility to get to high ground and stay out of reach of the opponent.

How to play Moon Knight in Marvel Rivals

Moon Knight has a wider range of abilities compared to most heroes in the Marvel Rivals. But you can't use them without some thought or planning behind them. All of his abilities synergize well with each other, and to add the most DPS, you'll want to chain them in the right order, depending on the situation.

Let's start with his DPS abilities first. Moon Knight's basic attacks have a special effect that allows Crescent Darts to bounce between enemies and deal additional damage. Since the attacks also chain and bounce with the Ancient Ankh, you'll be able to place it at choke points and reduce your opponent's health from a safe angle. It's a very overpowered ability in the right hands.

The enemy team can destroy the Ancient Ankh with basic attacks.

Ancient Ankh also has a secondary effect. When you launch it, enemy heroes caught in its radius are knocked over and pulled towards its center. Although the disable only lasts for a short time, it can help set other abilities, such as your ultimate. You can also use it to spawn your allies so they can easily land their abilities.

Moon Knight's melee works a little differently than other heroes. Your melee, called Triple Eclipse, allows you to boot the enemy hero every third attack. While the damage isn't amazing, you can use it to drain the last bit of health from an enemy you hear during a fight.

Moon Knight's secondary, Moon Blade, launches another projectile with a wider AOE. Like Crescent Dart, this ability is also chained between enemies and the Ancient Ankh, allowing you to deal massive damage if you bounce two or three heroes.

When it comes to mobility, Moon Knight has several tools at his disposal. This hero has a double jump with a 6 second cooldown called Rising Leap. While in the air, Moon Knight can use the Night Glider to glide slowly to reach high ground or escape enemy crosshairs.

Night Glider has no cooldown and can be activated as long as Moon Knight is airborne.

However, the biggest move ability at his disposal is the Moonlight Hook. Essentially, it allows you to launch a grappling hook at a target location to quickly pull yourself towards it. You can also use Rising Leap in the air and follow up with Night Glider to cover large distances if you need to rush to the target.

Moon Knight's ability to work with Cloak & Dagger makes Moon Night invisible at the touch of a button. The invisibility does not break when attacking. However, it has a long cooldown and the invisibility time is not too long. So don't stress too much about activating this Team-Up combo.

His Hand of Khonshu, on the other hand, is a massive game-changing ultimate that can take out the entire enemy team if you manage to land it perfectly. If you have Doctor Strange on your team, you can use it at the same time as Eye of Agamoto to wipe out the enemy team with the press of a button. You'll want to use it when the opposing team is bunched up to deal as much damage as possible.
