Alternates between a damaging forward dash and a wider slash. Track which attack comes next: the dash changes Kenji's position, while the slash covers space in front of him without serving the same movement role.

Artwork unavailableSLASHIMIDetails
Targets an area with crossing cuts while Kenji is invulnerable during the sequence. Aim at a position enemies are likely to occupy when the cuts arrive, rather than assuming the protected animation guarantees a successful hit.
Gadgets2 options
DASHI DASHDetails
Makes Kenji use only dash attacks for a short period. Plan the movement sequence and available ammunition before trading away his normal alternating pattern.
HOSOMAKI HEALINGDetails
Immediately restores part of the damage Kenji took recently. Activate it after meaningful damage, before the recovery window or his remaining health runs out.
Star Powers2 options
STUDIED THE BLADEDetails
Extends the range of Kenji's Super slices. Aim the crossing paths to take advantage of that reach instead of relying only on the center.
NIGIRI NEMESISDetails
Prepares heavy protection against the next enemy attack after Kenji avoids damage for a while. Preserve it for the approach rather than wasting it on avoidable chip damage.
Hypercharge1 options
ALL YOU CAN EATDetails
Pulls nearby enemies toward the center of the Super and makes Kenji reappear there. The pull helps line up the cuts, but the changed return position also places him closer to the resulting fight.
Traits1 options
The options below may not be a complete list.
Artwork unavailableLife StealDetails
Damaging enemies with attacks restores health. Reliable contact supports recovery, but a missed attack cannot rescue a losing exchange.
Gears6 options
DAMAGEDetails
Increases damage while the Brawler is below half health. The extra pressure is conditional, not a reason to remain in a losing exchange.
GADGET COOLDOWNDetails
Reduces the wait between Gadget uses. Choose it when repeated access to the selected Gadget meaningfully supports the fight.
HEALTHDetails
Improves health recovery. Leave enough room for natural recovery to begin instead of expecting the Gear to erase damage during continued attacks.
SHIELDDetails
Adds a consumable shield that recovers while the Brawler is at full health. Preserve recovery time between fights to restore the extra protection.
SPEEDDetails
Increases movement speed in bushes. Its value depends on having useful bush routes rather than simply equipping it on an open map.
VISIONDetails
Briefly reveals hidden opponents after you damage them. It helps track targets entering bushes, but does not reveal invisibility granted by abilities.
Kenji alternates dashes and slashes, recovering health through successful damage. His Super delivers crossing slices and grants temporary invulnerability. Track which main attack comes next and plan the exit; constant aggression is risky when enemies deny contact or control the landing area.
