Guide
Dash then quick slash to have my dash ready for charging in...ALWAYS!Kenji reloads fast so you will have 3 ammo ready quick. GadgetsHosomaki Healingthis site says 75% healing gadget but it is actually healing 50% healthI still use the 50% and its fine.
I look at the health bar and the red line is how much Kenji is going to heal when you pop your gadget, your welcome. (I'm sorry, but where else did you hear that last part?)Nigiri nemesis
Seems vital, you can be sniped by full range piper and still have 95% health when its on. the problem is your opponents have this too, so in a kenji v kenji battle you need to get the shield knocked off the other guy before you dash slash heal super dash and emote cool glasses as you walk away.Gears
Damage and shield.
Originally i posted to use the extra gadget charge, I'm at 800 trophies now, use the damage.ShieldI went with shield and i find the extra health really makes kenji walk away alive more often. Damage Damage gear is great! almost all of my brawlers have it, and its a clutch passive powerup in a tight fight. (If you understand, ggs)Gadget charge
is good, just in a longer team game where you are constantly wanting to heal. In solo you can take breaks between fights and heal naturaly.Aim your attack! Auto aim will drive you into the heart of enemy, be sure where you want to go with your dash. Sometimes a quick dash in, slash... quick dash out is a good way to stay alive.Kenji super v Kenji superYou need to aim for his table to hit when he pops back in. You need to choose wisely with auto aim super, it fails me often. look for x shaped corners or groups you can center slice through.I play in solo showdown now to reduce bad randoms and i use the gadget 2-3 times max, so I've come to the conclusion that the damage gear is better than the extra charge.Kenji super can grab gems and push the ball at the goal line! His strike is bottom left to top right and then bottom right to top left, the last bit can do the ball push.Good luck with your games.

Game Modes
Showdown
Kenji is a Shark and eats low health brawlers, even most full health brawlers too. I find the game mode is pretty fun and you will win many battles. kenjis team pretty often.
Brawl Ball
Another great mode for dash slash score. lots of kenji opponents so you need to get their shield off first then attack
Gem Grab
Play like mortis and assassinate
Knockout
Pick off the weak brawler, or use your mobility to bait enemies into friendly traps
Works Well With
Doug
this is my enemy
Surge
I run from this slick dodge soda machine when he is full health. He can hard counter kenji
Shelly
keep your distance
Chester
Don't forget this guy can blow out a ton of damage in a second point blank.
