Tips & Tricks

- Use your Swift Strike and Agility to jump over walls to escape or set up ganks.

- If you use your Shuriken on super close range, all three will hit your target.

- You can deflect structure damage.

- Don't commit to fights if you have no mana to finish a combo or escape.

- Try to burst down squishies or low HP targets with Swift Strike to gain resets and mana resets.

- If you play X-Strike as an ultimate, remember that it works similar to Kharazim's Seven Sided Strike, meaning you can use it to avoid enemy burst or even to jump over walls and escape.

- Genji can move while firing Basic attacks, meaning you should be stutter stepping for maximum performance.

- Your basic combo is Swift Strike into an enemy and aiming to fire all three shurikens into his face.

- Note that Swift Strike does not make you Unstoppable.
