Genji

Core Playbook

Genji dashes into the backline with Swift Strike, using Deflect to neutralize incoming projectiles or ultimates before cutting down priority targets with shuriken and sword combos.

Tactical Caveats

Deflect does nothing against hitscan or beam damage, so heroes like Soldier: 76 or Zarya can punish an aggressive Genji without him having a defensive answer.
