…Kiriko's Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths
Mobility via Swift Step
Kiriko's Swift Step
lets her suddenly join a 1v1 fight on the side, or conversely take a side herself and fall back when it gets dangerous, making it easy to catch opponents off guard and gain an advantage. Also, using Swift Step cleanses any hack, burn, or anti-heal on Kiriko herself.Invulnerability effect from Protection Suzu
Kiriko's Protection Suzu
can cleanse anti-heal and hack. Also, it makes her temporarily invulnerable and instantly heals 80, so using it when an ally is driven to critical health or to prevent large incoming enemy damage also makes it easy to gain an advantage.
How to Counter
Check the cooldowns of Swift Step
and Protection Suzu.Kiriko has a very high ability to survive with Swift Step
and Protection Suzu. Her durability from Protection Suzu in particular is very high, and in the worst case a single Protection Suzu can survive an allied ultimate attack. Protection Suzu has a fairly long cooldown of 14 seconds, so by counting it to some degree you can more easily prevent her from surviving with Protection Suzu.Watch out for Kiriko's Swift Step
when fighting on the side.Kiriko can play to rush to an ally in trouble via Swift Step
. When you are moving to take a side as a flanker and end up in a 1v1 with an enemy flanker, you need to watch out for the enemy Swift Step.
