LegendaryAssassin

Best Kenji build

An assassin whose every attack is a short dash, so attacking and moving are the same action and a missed swing is lost ground.

Cluttered maps where every attack doubles as movement towards the next target.

How to play it

Just outside their frontline with cover to dash behind, since he cannot hold ground at range and only ever fights at contact distance.

The slashes reach seven tiles, which is the only time he threatens anything without walking into it, so keep it for a target he cannot otherwise reach.

Common mistakes

  • Dashing at a tank, where his damage cannot outpace what walks back at him
  • Missing attacks and losing the movement his whole kit is built on
  • Diving into all three enemies because the first dash happened to connect
