Jun 03, 2016 2) Dash strike - melee will do 80 damage combined, if you land one right-click at close range after, that's another 90-ish. That's enough to kill most squishies in the game if. You can, however, full combo with genji and if you do it correctly you can ‘one shot’ any squishy. The combo goes like this: use left click from far away to hit 2 shurikens - dash behind the enemy - turn 180 degrees - right click (headshot would instantly kill them, impossible to do consistently so dont try). Dec 08, 2017 Now let’s examine Genji. His shurikens do 28 damage per projectile as a burst of 3 at once. If he perfectly hits headshots with each of his shurikens and swift strikes, Genji can deal a maximum of 218 damage (swift strike does 50). Genji is highly mobile due. Does Mercy's damage buff improve Genji's dragonblade in the same way as a nano does? Question I figure 120 damage from a slash plus 50 from a swift strike is 170. 30% on top of that is enough to kill a squishy right?

Just how well can Genji deflect other Overwatch characters with his abilities beyond the obvious projectiles? Rather well it seems.
Genji uses arrows, bullets and Shuriken as his main arsenal, and he is also able to block the majority of the other Heroes’ Ultimates.
In the video above, Arekkz shows you how to block some of these Ultimates, and we have transcribed these for you below.
Let’s start off with the Offensive Heroes
McCree’s Ultimate is Deadeye, in which he locks on multiple targets and issues an instant kill. But if you can deflect his bullet before it hits, Genji will give him a taste of his own medicine. Players can also deflect McCree’s Flashbang.
Pharrah’s Ultimate Barrage rains down rockets on her enemies. These can be deflected along with her Concussive Blast.
Reaper is a bit tricky it seems, because his Ultimate Death Blossom sends bullets flying in a 360-degree circle. Genji can only block the shots which come straight at him. This means, deflecting this Ultimate from Reaper won’t be enough to kill him outright. But you can finish him off if you follow the deflection with Quick Strike.

Players will want to make sure they activate their deflect abilities before trying to use his Ultimate, Tactical Visor, against him. Don’t use it too soon – instead try and time it right when he starts shooting. Otherwise, your move will be finished before his and you’re a goner.
Finally, there’s Tracer who uses the Pulse Bomb. This Ultimate has her throwing a bomb which sticks to surfaces and explodes after a brief delay. There is a window to deflect her bomb when she throw it at you which will turn it hostile to Tracer.
How to deflect Defensive Heroes
When Bastion uses his Tank Mode configuration, Genji can deflect the blasts but given the slow fire rate, players using this character will only have time to block one. Players will likely not kill Bastion with a single deflect.
Junkrat’s Rip-Tire cannot be blocked but you can deflect his Concussion Mine if he throws it.
Molten Core is used by Torbjorn which powers up his turrets. And while you can deflect the turrets they will last much longer than your deflect skill. Genji will likely end up dead in this case, so deflect if you like but use other tactics as they will be needed.
Mei’s Blizzard can be deflected using the same logic as with Tracer above. Block the slowing projectile as she throws it and it will trun hostile and hurt her. This slows her down to where you can rush in and take her out.

The last of the defense team, Hanzo, uses Dragonstrike. While you can’t deflect the dragons, you can deflect the arrow he shoots before it turns into said dragons. This will turn the arrow back at Hanzo and the dragons will attack him. This won’t likely kill him, because the dragons will weaken by the time they reach him. But, if members of Hanzo’s team are standing behind him, it will be a pain for them.
On to Tank Heroes
You cannot deflect D.Va’s Self-Destruct or Reinhardt’s Earth Shatter – but you can deflect his Fire Strike.
Roadhog’s Whole Hog can be deflected in order to “get him out of your face,” and you can deflect Winston’s punches as he comes at you with Primal Rage. You won’t hurt him and you will still get knocked back, but it will prevent Genji from taking damage. This will be handy if he pins you in a corner.
Zarya makes use of Graviton Surge which launches a gravity bomb that draws the enemy closer to her. In order to do this she has to fire a projectile first. This can be deflected.
Finally since Support Heroes don’t have any projectiles to deflect, they are not included in this short guide.
Speaking of which, we have various Overwatch Guides posted on the site, so if you need help with other aspects of the game, hit these up:

How to play Genji like a pro.
Overwatch is seeing a lot of Genji play at the moment, and if you have a chance to play as assault you’ll probably want a go. In the video above, Arekkz goes into detail on the popular ninja’s move set – breaking it down to numbers and seconds.
While we don’t consider Genji one of the best Overwatch characters for beginners, he is one of our tier 1 Overwatch characters. in the right hands he can be absolutely deadly. It’s all those Plays of the Day and votes that make people want to get their hands on the tricky but tough ninja.
So what do you need to know? Well. Genji has average health for an assault character, but he doesn’t need as much health as a more straight-forward attacker like Reaper, because his key strength is his agility: if enemies don’t see you, they won’t be shooting you.
With both ranged and melee attacks Genji is a versatile skirmisher. Genji’s shuriken are extra reliable as they have no damage fall off over range, so if you hit your target with all three projectiles you’ll do 84 damage. Most non-tank enemies will go down in three to four full hits, which is more than manageable given you have eight shots lined up before you need to reload. You can also use the alternate fan attack, which will allow you to hit fast moving targets and groups, doing at least a bit of damage.

Genji’s deflect is tricky to pull off but is an absolute life saver if mastered; it can even guard against ultimates.
