Know Your Warrior Spirit (Understanding Kenji’s Abilities)Kenji’s strength lies in his precision and agility. Master these traits:
Attack: Kenji's basic attacks alternate between a Dash and a Slash. Dash deals damages to all enemies in a straight line and Slash deals damage to all enemies in a wide area in front of him – Focus your aim and strike swiftly.Super: Kenji targets an area with precise slices, dealing heavy damage and gaining invulnerability for the duration of the Super – Patience and timing are key, unleash this at the perfect moment for maximum impact.Gadget & Star Power: Tools to enhance your flow in combat. Use them wisely!GadgetsDashi Dash: Kenji's next three attacks will be only dashes. Use this to surprise your enemies in battle or to escape one.
Hosomaki Healing: Kenji regenerates 75% of the healing lost in the last 3 seconds.Star PowersStudied the blade: Kenji's super is now wider, allowing you to hit more enemies.
Nigiri Nemesis: After 5 seconds of not taking damage, Kenji charges a shield that protects him for the next attack for 60%.2. The Art of Combat (Battle Tactics)In battle, Kenji must flow like water and strike like lightning:
Positioning: Always stay on the move. Kenji’s mobility is one of his greatest strengths. Use it to outmaneuver slower enemies and avoid dangerous situations.Engagement: Pick your battles wisely. Kenji excels in one-on-one encounters or when attacking grouped enemies, but he struggles against high-health tanks. Strike swiftly and retreat before taking heavy damage.Super Utilization: Save Kenji’s Super for moments of opportunity. Use it to finish off fleeing enemies, escape dangerous situations, or disrupt enemy strategies. It’s a versatile tool—practice until its use becomes second nature. You can use it either to avoid some damage, since he becomes immune while using it.3. Harmony in Battle (Team Synergy)
Kenji is not just a lone warrior. His true potential is realized when fighting alongside others:Ideal Allies: Pair Kenji with brawlers who can provide healing, as he will become unstoppable with extra healing, not only from the gadget, also from you allies. Pair him with control brawlers like Lou or Tick that can lead the enemies straight to him, assuring some free kills for your team. Also, to dominate the arena, don't forget about the snipers that can help Kenji with the long-range brawlers he usually struggles. These teammates allow Kenji to focus on dealing damage and disrupting enemies.Beware the Counters: Be cautious around brawlers with high burst damage or long-range attacks. Kenji’s mobility can help him dodge such threats, but overexposure will lead to defeat.4. The Discipline of Mastery (Training and Tips)The journey to mastery is long and challenging, but with perseverance, you will prevail:
Practice Daily: Spend time in training grounds to refine your aim and timing. Kenji’s attacks require precision.Adapt to the Situation: Each match is unique. Learn to adjust your strategy based on the enemy composition and map layout.Patience and Timing: Avoid rushing into battle recklessly. Wait for the right moment to strike, and always have an escape plan.Control Zones: In modes like Gem Grab or Hot Zone, Kenji excels at controlling objectives with his area damage. Use his abilities to maintain dominance over key areas.5. Wisdom of the Masters (Advanced Strategies)
For those who seek to achieve true mastery, consider these advanced techniques:
Super Combo: Chain Kenji’s Super with his basic attacks for devastating bursts of damage. This is especially effective when facing grouped enemies.Mind Games: Kenji is not only about slashing and dashing in chaos. A wise warrior outsmarts their foes before striking.Zone Control: Kenji’s healing and area damage make him excellent at holding positions. Use this to your advantage in defensive scenarios.6. Best Build for the Sushi Master
Gadget: Hosomaki Healing
This gadget restores 75% of the health taken in the last 3 seconds. It can help you survive longer in battles or even restore health in critical situation. Make sure to use it properly (see tip and tricks, d)Star Power: Nigiri Nemesis
This star power can help you tank damage over time. The other one is pretty useless, since you will mostly aim for the center.Gears: Shield and Damage
These are the best gears that can keep Kenji alive while dealing a lot of damage.7. Tips& Tricks to make your Sensei proud
a) Use the dash for movement. It can save your life, so be sure to run in style, dashing through the snow.b) Always have dash before supering. If you super, the enemy can come closer to you, making yourself vulnerable. Make sure to switch to dash instead of slash, as it can save your life and retreat after using super.c) Remember the Super pattern. It is only diagonally, so keep this in mind when pressing it. Also you can use this against a Kenji to be safe from his super.d) Master the Gadget. Your gadget must be used only in tough situations. Don't use it when you got hit only once. Use it when you are under 2000 hp and you've tanked a lot of damage in the last 3 seconds.

Works Well With

Byron
They are the perfect synergy! While Kenji struggles at snipers and brawlers with long-range, here comes Byron! He can outrange all your enemies while also keeping you alive with his abilities. Kenji can protect him from tanks and stealthy assassins. Byron can control zone with his super, letting Kenji finish off the enemies with his Sensei tricks. They are the best anywhere but mostly in Brawl Ball, where Kenji can even teamwipe after teamwipe using his healing or either rush into the goal with the ball with Byron healing you. In this strategy, you can use two supports.
