Assassin Guide: Kenji

Kenji is one of the best if not the best assassin in the game. Kenji is like a legendary Edgar in a sort of way. Kenji can heal when he hits a target and he deals a bunch of damage with both attacks.Description: Not a lot of people believe that Kenji is a strategical brawler, but in a sense he really is. Kenji has two primary attacks which are slash and dash. Slash deals more damage than dash and has a wider radius for attacking. Dash Just dashes Kenji forward and if there's anyone in his way then he will deal damage to them. I like to say that dash is more helpful for catching up to opponents that you're about to kill or getting away from the enemy. Slash is really good because of its high damage and its range and radius. You can hit your targets a lot easier with this than dash. Okay now lets say you are pretty low health and your getting chased by someone. You want to use dash to get away from them and aim slash toward them so you can heal. For instance if they are behind you keep running away from them and when you have slash aim in backwards wait for them to get in range and then hit them for the health. Now this is a good way to stay alive in a match when being chased, but what if you're really close to dying and the person is like a sniper. In this case you need the gadget listed above.Gadget: Hosomaki Healing will instantly heal you up to a certain amount of health depending on the amount of damage the enemy does to you. Don't use it as soon as someone hits you because if they didn't deal that much damage then you won't heal a lot and you probably wasted a gadget. Wait until you're in a situation where someone has dealt a bunch of damage in one setting and you're about to die. That's when you click gadget and start going at em. One mistake I have made in the past and I hope you don't make is the opponent will almost kill me Ill then use gadget gain back some of my health, but ill dash toward them and they'll kill me. If your in a situation like that use dash to get away from the and start doing the tactic I thought you. The other gadget is fine to use, but it's just not as helpful.Star power: Nigiri Nemesis is super useful. I say this because someone that deals an incredible amount of damage will not deal so much when they hit me with this star power. This star power gives Kenji a shield after 5 seconds WITHOUT him being hit. The shield then makes it to where a person does not deal as much damage to Kenji when he is hit. The shield only last for one hit and then it's gone until you wait those 5 seconds again. This shield helps me If I want to rush a person to kill them because there first attack will not affect me as bad as there other attacks. Just make sure you don't rush anyone who has way more power cubes than you cause there other attacks are probably going to destroy you. Kenji's other star power is very helpful in hot zones because if the other team has all their players in the hot zone and you have your super then you will have a bigger radius with the X and have a higher percent chance to deal a good bit of damage to the other team.Gears: the shield gear is helpful for Kenji's health and the damage one is good for finishing off a kill. Also if you want to replace the damage one with extra gadgets that's great too.I hope this guide found you well and that its helped you play Kenji like a pro good luck if your grinding Kenji to tier max. I hope you have a great day and an upvote will be very much appreciated for it helps me want to make more guides like this :)
