Game

Kenji alternates between low-damage dash attacks and medium-damage katana slashes. His super throws the fish across the field, disappears, and then slashes with a cross-shaped attack that deals large area-of-effect damage.

Tips and Tricks

Use dashes to close distance and avoid attacks; Dashi Dash must run sideways to be unpredictable. Prioritize slashes for better damage and healing.

Use Supers to dodge powerful attacks and crowd control, prioritizing attacks on multiple enemies to chain Supers easily.

Play Kenji in Showdown, use dashes to farm cubes and save your Super for the end game; use your Super when the poison circle is forced to provide temporary immunity.

Before using Super, make sure the next move is Dash to retreat safely because Kenji is quite weak after using this move. The dash helps with dribbling and positioning, while the slash has a wide reach for pressing against the wall; Super can score a goal if the timing is right, but it’s quite difficult.

Ability

Attack: Dash ‘n’ Slash

Kenji attacks in a series of dotted lines followed by slashes: the first attack is a short line that deals low damage, while the second attack involves a wide arc with a katana, dealing moderate damage.

Super: Slashimi

Kenji throws a fish that crosses the field, disappears and becomes immune to damage. Upon landing, he slashes with a cross, dealing significant damage, and then returns to his original position.
