Genji's Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths

  • Very high fine-grained mobility.

    Genji has Swift StrikeSwift Strike, a double jump, and wall climb, giving him very high mobility and the ability to take various positions, making it easy to attack from the enemy's off-angles.

  • Destructive power during his ultimate.

    The burst damage from DragonbladeDragonblade is very high, and by mixing in allied support abilities such as Zarya's Projected BarrierProjected Barrier or Nano BoostNano Boost, he can launch an attack that is almost impossible to counter.

How to Counter

  • Use heroes that can keep their distance to prevent Swift StrikeSwift Strike kill streaks.

    Swift StrikeSwift Strike's cooldown resets on a kill. Using heroes that can easily keep distance from Genji's approach means Genji can't get kills, so he can't use Swift StrikeSwift Strike repeatedly. This also reduces the damage he does during DragonbladeDragonblade.

  • Poke in advance so Genji can't approach.

    Genji is not that strong at long range, so poking Genji to lower his health while there's some distance makes it harder for him to approach and harder for him to use his strengths.

  • Use heroes that don't require aim, or heroes that can pierce through Shuriken (Fan).

    Genji has high mobility, making it hard to keep landing aim-dependent attacks on him. Using heroes with attacks that don't require aim, such as Winston, Mei, or Moira, makes it hard for Genji to leverage his mobility.
