Strategy

Genji is a versatile flanker with very high mobility, boasting some of the best movement options of all the heroes. Genji is better suited for close quarters to make use of his mobility and spread shurikens, but can still be formidable at range. Cyber-Agility makes Genji a difficult target and allows him to navigate the map with ease. Swift Strike allows Genji to engage, escape or move between targets efficiently. The damage on Swift Strike is considerable for most heroes but is insignificant to a tank. As such, Genji should use Swift Strike to either maneuver around his enemies or deal small but quick and easy damage. Deflect allows Genji to turn enemies' damage back towards them and even allows him to turn around entire ultimate abilities. This allows for potentially lethal burst damage if it is timed properly and Genji is well positioned. Be wary when estimating your own abilities as Genji however, you are not the most agile hero nor do you deal the most damage. Genji fills a middle ground when it comes to these factors.

Weapons & Abilities

Cyber-Agility (Passive): Genji gains two benefits from this passive. First, Genji is able to climb up flat, vertical surfaces by holding the jump button while next to them. Second, Genji is capable of performing a double jump by pressing the jump button while already in the air.

Almost any vertical surface can be climbed with Cyber-Agility. You can jump again at any time while climbing, allowing you to reach catwalks and other areas that don't have a direct, vertical path up to them.

You can change the direction Genji is jumping when using the double jump. Simply hold the direction you want him to jump towards while executing the double jump.

Shuriken: Genji's primary weapon. Primary fire will cause Genji to shoot three projectile shurikens towards his crosshair in a volley. Secondary fire will cause Genji to quickly throw three shurikens in a cone in front of him.

The shurikens from both the primary and secondary fire can headshot, and are not subject to damage falloff.

The secondary fire throws the stars at a much faster rate. Use the secondary fire at short range where accuracy is less of a concern and the primary fire for longer range engagements.

Deflect: When activated, Genji assumes a defensive stance for several seconds, during which time he cannot attack. While in this stance, most enemy projectiles or hitscan weapons that hit him in the front will be deflected in the direction he is aiming in. Deflected attacks use the same damage numbers and effects as the original, and can affect the shooter and their team.

An immensely powerful ability. With a few exceptions, Genji is immune to frontal attacks while Deflect is active. Make sure you aren't being attacked from behind to get the full use out of Deflect.

Frontal melee attacks are blocked, but do not deliver damage back to the enemy. Roadhog's Chain Hook will also be blocked, but not reflected in any way (as if the hook had hit a wall).

The attacks that cannot be deflected or blocked include Winston's Tesla Cannon, Lúcio's Sound Wave, the primary firing mode of Symmetra's Photon Projector, Zarya's Particle Cannon and Mei's Endothermic Blaster.

Swift Strike: When activated, Genji dashes straight forward a fixed distance, dealing damage to all enemies he passes through along the way. The cooldown on Swift Strike is reset whenever Genji scores an elimination.

Swift Strike is also useful as a way of traveling around the map, as well as an escape method. It can also be used as a finishing move, dealing a quick burst of damage to an opponent who's on low Health.

Because Swift Strike will reset whenever Genji gets an elimination, you can use it to quickly chain kills between multiple low-Health targets. Use it to dash through the first target to kill them, scoring an elimination, and then dash through another low-Health target. The elimination doesn't actually have to be made with Swift Strike; finishing a target through other means (or even getting a kill assist) also resets the cooldown.

Dragonblade (Ultimate):

Genji's Ultimate ability. When activated, Genji unsheathes his ōdachi, disabling the use of his shurikens for the duration. His primary fire is replaced with a fast-swinging melee-ranged slash that hits all targets in a small cone in front of Genji, dealing high damage with every hit. Genji will sheathe the blade at the end of Dragonblade's duration, regaining the use of his shurikens.

Genji Shuriken Damage

Dragonblade is a high risk, high reward Ultimate. While Genji gains extremely high melee damage (beating even Reinhardt), he loses the ability to attack at range for the duration.

Remember that Cyber-Agility is still active when using Dragonblade. Use your double jump and wall climb to remain evasive so that you can get as many kills as possible.

The high damage from Dragonblade allows you to easily get eliminations. Remember to use Swift Strikes to deal more damage and close the distance with other enemies whenever you get a kill.

Activating Dragonblade also refreshes the cooldown of Swift Strike.

General Strategies

How to play Genji like a pro.

Overwatch is seeing a lot of Genji play at the moment, and if you have a chance to play as assault you’ll probably want a go. In the video above, Arekkz goes into detail on the popular ninja’s move set – breaking it down to numbers and seconds.

While we don’t consider Genji one of the best Overwatch characters for beginners, he is one of our tier 1 Overwatch characters. in the right hands he can be absolutely deadly. It’s all those Plays of the Day and votes that make people want to get their hands on the tricky but tough ninja.

So what do you need to know? Well. Genji has average health for an assault character, but he doesn’t need as much health as a more straight-forward attacker like Reaper, because his key strength is his agility: if enemies don’t see you, they won’t be shooting you.

With both ranged and melee attacks Genji is a versatile skirmisher. Genji’s shuriken are extra reliable as they have no damage fall off over range, so if you hit your target with all three projectiles you’ll do 84 damage. Most non-tank enemies will go down in three to four full hits, which is more than manageable given you have eight shots lined up before you need to reload. You can also use the alternate fan attack, which will allow you to hit fast moving targets and groups, doing at least a bit of damage.

Genji’s deflect is tricky to pull off but is an absolute life saver if mastered; it can even guard against ultimates.
