Genji was once the carefree youngest scion of the Shimada clan, but he was cut down by his own brother for refusing to take part in their illegal ventures. Grafted into a cyborg body by Overwatch, Genji walks his own path as one who fights for what’s right.
His Basic Abilities include Shuriken, a projectile that damages the first enemy it hits; Deflect, an ability that allows him to ricochet incoming damage to nearby enemies for 1.25 seconds; and Swift Strike, a dash forward that deals damage to all enemies in a line. Enemy Heroes who die within 2 seconds after being hit by Swift Strike cause the skill’s cooldown and Mana cost to be refunded. Genji’s Heroic Abilities are Dragonblade, a deadly sword that can be used for 8 seconds to lunge forward and slash in a huge arc; and X-Strike, which allows Genji to attack in two perpendicular slashes that deal damage and ignite after 1.25 seconds.
