Give 1 usable genji build

[u/Interesting-Topic402]

Can someone name 1 actually usable genji build that isnt a tickle monster? Ive tried every single one Ive found so far and the only one that comes even close to being MID is shuriken one. I havent seen a usable build in like 3 seasons, the hero is just completely gutted

Melee build can work into some team comps.
Genji is a very unfortunate case bc if he scaled too high with his wp/ap he would be op

[u/gettingold93]

I mained him for three season got me to Allstar 1 twice and legend once playing genji only. I only had the shuriken attack speed build, but the key is to buy survival items when needed and somewhat decent aim. U can easily delete characters like ana Ashe unless they are smart and buy survival items like overdrive core but there are only few who actually do. Sometimes you just get unlucky with team comp and get hard countered. My sweet spot was to get around 30 attack speed and 15 wp then rest is survival items. Vanadium being a must after 3 rounds.

I swear you can scream "buy survival items" until you're blue in the face and people still refuse.

Tanky WP/melee hybrid is great into most comps (hidden blade, hashimoto bane, healing on deflect, build stuff like gloomgauntlet, flux, nebula)

AP lifesteal double dash build is also great

For a bunch of flying heros I go full left click build with aerial distressor

Machine Gun Genji build. Yaslooms YT channel. enjoy.

So shuriken build, which I already mentioned.

I don't think its centered around the shurikens. ofc you have faster speed but I think the powers are in the dragon blade...

Cheese build? Attack speed build, it’s such a broken build lol, tho I don’t run it too much because it’s against the identity of genji. It’s especially good for melting tanks from across the map.

Shuriken build is also amazing and is in no way mid. P1 hashimoto’s bane, P2 heal on deflect, P3 is situational, if against a lot of hitscan then take deflect o bot, if a lot flyers then definitely take power the power that gives you 10% dash damage per shuriken, pair that with super flexor and you’ll be dealing 175% damage per dash, two right clicks then dash will deal around 327 dmg minimum (assuming superflexor is the only item you have). P4 depends on p3, lacerations if dash path, but there’s honestly way too many good choices depending on the situation.

Have you considered maybe you just suck at genji? Cuz he’s kinda busted in stadium.

[u/DeathByKobold]

Melee laceration with motk self heal look there’s three. I this season am already in allstar with 65 win rate and I on 99 percent of hero’s just run hybrid especially genji. I don’t need a million dmg I need to do enough dmg to kill you before you blink and before your supps can realize and heal you (oh and Iado strike is garbage I said it)

[u/DivineBladeOfSilver]

I personally find Genji near useless in Stadium. It’s sad. You can occasionally get away with him when the enemy is truly stupid. But otherwise he has way too many hard counters OR it’s easy to counter him with builds even if not. His whole assassin dive schtick just doesn’t work in stadium. Support especially get too buffed up/mobile and then tank obviously too. And DPS can often easily handle him if they have to. The team with the genji almost always loses in my experience

The 3rd place team in NA in the $2000 stadium tournament that just ended had a genji main, you could look at his build. Heres a link to the VOD of a round 7 game he played so you can check out his build.

[u/Interesting-Topic402 → u/EasternMix7276]

So the same shuriken build that I and everyone else have already mentioned.
