I have tried every build, deflect, dragonblade, etc. With every talents, but this seem to work the best for me against high level players and be of some use in teamfights and objectives.
This build focuses on being able to kill multiple enemies and limiting deaths.
You are not made to do objectives. You are made to kill and this guide focuses on that purpose.
It's better for you to dodge/deflect incoming damage rather than take them.
Genji's basic attacks tickles and reliant in his abilities, which is both a good and bad thing.
Q :
Shuriken. Throws 3 shurikens in a spread, stores up to 3 charges.
This is your main way dealing damage to turrets, minions and merchs.
Choosing Shuriken mastery and Shingan increases the viability.
W :
Deflect. Channels and lasts for 1.25secs, becomes protected and blocking damage, even melee. To any blocked damage, he throws shurikens, prioritizing a hero.
Deflect is your defensive ability, use it to give time for (E)[Swift Strike] to escape.
E :
Swift Strike. Dash forward dealing damage to all enemies in a line. Heroes that dies in 2 seconds refreshes Swift Strike.
Swift Strike is both your escape tool and your wiping ability. If you see a weak enemy, dash to them, kill, get out or dash, kill, and kill another. Genji is the best diving hero and still make it out alive if you play him correctly.
Somewhat a wave cleaner.
D :
Cyber Agility. Double jump, great for escaping and reaching for a kill when [Swift Strike] is on cooldown. Goes through terrains to keep most enemies off your tail.
R :
X-strike. performs two slashes. The slashes detonates after 1.25secs causing additional damage, turning you un-targetable meanwhile the ability.
If for example a predictable ability is about to hit you, use this to render yourself safe. A last resort escape ability.
With the [Living Weapon], hitting enemies reduces it's cooldown, making it extremely useful fighting multiple enemies, just like how this build is made for.
Tier 1 : Swift as the Wind
Hitting an enemy Hero with Swift Strike increases Genji's Movement speed by 30% for 3 seconds
Duh, because everything other talent sucks.
Tier 2 : Shuriken Mastery
Quest : After 35 hits on enemy heroes, damage increased by 25. After hitting 75, Cyber agility refunds 2 shurikens.
Works well with Tier 5 and gives cyber agility more reason to use, oh and more damage. Every other talent is too inconsistent.
Tier 3 : Augmented Guard
Gain a shield after Deflect ends.
With Dodge talent nerfed, Augmented guard is the way to go as it gives you 50% of deflected damage, meaning if you deflect so many damage, you're both dealing damage and giving yourself more survivability to escape, save yourself from DOTS (Damage over times) or kill more enemies.
Perfect Defense could also be good, but you either die or kill and get out and there'll be no point to wait another 14-6seconds.
Tier 4 : X Strike
performs two slashes. The slashes detonates after 1.25secs causing additional damage, turning you un-targetable meanwhile the ability.
Bread and butter of this build.
Tier 5 : Shingan
