If you're looking for a head start on mastering the Fist of Khonshu, we've got the guide for you. The white-hooded Marvel character is one of many Duelists in Marvel Rivals and is one of the most recognizable names in the stacked roster. If you select Moon Knight, you will be expected to deal huge amounts of damage. We're here to help you achieve exactly that, with an overview of Moon Knight's arsenal and tips on maximizing his effectiveness. All Moon Knight abilities in Marvel Rivals, explained Name Description PC control ControllerCrescent Dart Unleash Crescent Darts forward that can bounce between enemies and Ankhs. LMB RT\/R2 Night Glider Enter a gliding state. LShift LB\/L1 Ancient Ankh Fire an Ankh to knock enemies within its radius airborne towards the center. E RB\/R1 Moonlight Hook Launch a frontal grappling hook that pulls Moon Knight towards it. F B\/Circle Triple Eclipse Perform a combo with his truncheon, and the third strike will slightly Launch Up enemies. V Right Stick Rising Leap Perform a double jump. Space A\/X Moon Blade Launch forward a Moon Blade that can bounce between enemies and Ankhs. RMB LT\/L2 Full Moon (Team Up) Cloak & Dagger can inject light and dark energy into Moon Knight to create a Light & Dark Realm where Moon Knight can become invisible. C Y\/Triangle Hand of Khonshu (Ultimate) Open a portal that allows Khonshu to bombard enemies with his talons. Q Left Stick + Right Stick Moon Knight strategy and tips in Marvel Rivals Moon Knight is a more welcoming Duelist to play if you're getting used to the role, particularly as his basic attack ricochets off enemies and any placed Ankhs to deal significant damage. With precision accuracy, the Fist of Khonsu becomes even more powerful. Like many other Duelists, Moon Knight doesn't have the best survivability, so picking the right moments is crucial and finding the perfect spot to target opponents from is advised. Fortunately, with both Moonlight Hook and Rising Leap, it's easy to get to elevated platforms to unleash attacks. The key is to utilize Crescent Dart and Moon Blade to deal significant damage, amplifying it by placing down Ancient Ankhs whenever possible. Firing an Ankh directly at an enemy launches them into the air, though I've found it better to place an Ankh in a more hidden area so they are harder to destroy. Moon Knight's Ultimate ability, Hand of Konshu, is great for dealing large amount of damage to enemies in a group, particularly around an objective. Throw an Ankh into the area and continue launching basic attacks to maximize damage, which can easily wipe an enemy team. Paired on a team with Cloak and Dagger, the Full Moon Team Up ability is a welcome tool in Moon Knight's arsenal that turns him invisible. The area itself is identifiable, however, so be wary of any AOE attacks from enemies\u2014particularly any Ultimates from the likes of Scarlet Witch, Iron Man, and Magneto. Avoid any close-quarter combat situations against another melee-based duelist, as Moon Knight can be overwhelmed quickly in those scenarios. If you find yourself in a fight you don't want, use Moonlight Hook and Rising Leap to escape.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Marvel-Rivals-Moon-Knight-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1474705"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2203"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1474705"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1474705\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1474743,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1474705\/revisions\/1474743"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1474719"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1474705"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1474705"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1474705"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1474705"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1474705"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1474705"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1474705"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

If you're looking for a head start on mastering the Fist of Khonshu, we've got the guide for you. The white-hooded Marvel character is one of many Duelists in Marvel Rivals and is one of the most recognizable names in the stacked roster. If you select Moon Knight, you will be expected to deal huge amounts of damage. We're here to help you achieve exactly that, with an overview of Moon Knight's arsenal and tips on maximizing his effectiveness. All Moon Knight abilities in Marvel Rivals, explained Name Description PC control ControllerCrescent Dart Unleash Crescent Darts forward that can bounce between enemies and Ankhs. LMB RT\/R2 Night Glider Enter a gliding state. LShift LB\/L1 Ancient Ankh Fire an Ankh to knock enemies within its radius airborne towards the center. E RB\/R1 Moonlight Hook Launch a frontal grappling hook that pulls Moon Knight towards it. F B\/Circle Triple Eclipse Perform a combo with his truncheon, and the third strike will slightly Launch Up enemies. V Right Stick Rising Leap Perform a double jump. Space A\/X Moon Blade Launch forward a Moon Blade that can bounce between enemies and Ankhs. RMB LT\/L2 Full Moon (Team Up) Cloak & Dagger can inject light and dark energy into Moon Knight to create a Light & Dark Realm where Moon Knight can become invisible. C Y\/Triangle Hand of Khonshu (Ultimate) Open a portal that allows Khonshu to bombard enemies with his talons. Q Left Stick + Right Stick Moon Knight strategy and tips in Marvel Rivals Moon Knight is a more welcoming Duelist to play if you're getting used to the role, particularly as his basic attack ricochets off enemies and any placed Ankhs to deal significant damage. With precision accuracy, the Fist of Khonsu becomes even more powerful. Like many other Duelists, Moon Knight doesn't have the best survivability, so picking the right moments is crucial and finding the perfect spot to target opponents from is advised. Fortunately, with both Moonlight Hook and Rising Leap, it's easy to get to elevated platforms to unleash attacks. The key is to utilize Crescent Dart and Moon Blade to deal significant damage, amplifying it by placing down Ancient Ankhs whenever possible. Firing an Ankh directly at an enemy launches them into the air, though I've found it better to place an Ankh in a more hidden area so they are harder to destroy. Moon Knight's Ultimate ability, Hand of Konshu, is great for dealing large amount of damage to enemies in a group, particularly around an objective. Throw an Ankh into the area and continue launching basic attacks to maximize damage, which can easily wipe an enemy team. Paired on a team with Cloak and Dagger, the Full Moon Team Up ability is a welcome tool in Moon Knight's arsenal that turns him invisible. The area itself is identifiable, however, so be wary of any AOE attacks from enemies\u2014particularly any Ultimates from the likes of Scarlet Witch, Iron Man, and Magneto. Avoid any close-quarter combat situations against another melee-based duelist, as Moon Knight can be overwhelmed quickly in those scenarios. If you find yourself in a fight you don't want, use Moonlight Hook and Rising Leap to escape.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Marvel-Rivals-Moon-Knight-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1474705"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2203"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1474705"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1474705\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1474743,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1474705\/revisions\/1474743"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1474719"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1474705"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1474705"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1474705"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1474705"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1474705"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1474705"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1474705"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
