Kenji is the newest legendary brawler coming to Brawl Stars on September 26, 2024. This comprehensive guide will cover everything you need to know about this samurai-turned-sushi chef with a mysterious past.

Background and Appearance

Kenji runs a sushi restaurant in Star Park and lives with his family, but hides something from his past. Visually, he has a samurai/ninja-inspired design, reflecting his background as a skilled warrior.

Ablities

Main Attack - Dash 'N' Slash

Kenji alternates between two attacks:

A dash attack dealing 1,000 damage
A wide slash attack dealing 2,000 damage to multiple enemies

Both attacks have a short 3-tile range but reload very quickly (1 second). This combination allows Kenji to deal a total of 3,000 damage to a single enemy while healing for 1,050 health.

Super - Slashimi

Kenji throws a fish and performs two powerful slashes in an X-shaped pattern:
Each slash deals 2,600 damage over a wide area
Has a range of 8-11 tiles and can hit through walls
Kenji is invulnerable while using his super
Heals Kenji for 700 health per slash

Skins

Kenji will debut with a 29-gem Rare skin called "Fruit Samurai." This skin changes its color scheme to maroon and dark green, with white hair and a black headband.

Its color scheme is in Maroon and dark green, a departure from the traditional red, white, and black
His headband is sleek black, replacing the previous fabric

The skins's mysterious appearance, giving Kenji a more enigmatic and alluring presence on the battlefield

Gameplay Strategy

Kenji excels at close-range combat and hit-and-run tactics. His combination of mobility, damage, and self-healing make him a formidable brawler in the right hands. Here's how he performs in different game modes:

Gem Grab: May struggle due to short range and lack of map control.
Brawl Ball: Performs well due to mobility and survivability.
Heist: Less effective due to low damage output and short range.
Bounty: Can excel on certain maps despite short-range disadvantages.
Hot Zone: Solid choice due to constant pressure and survivability.
Knockout: Strong contender, especially in the late game with healing abilities.
Showdown: Excels in both Solo and Duo due to survivability and surprise attacks.

Tips and Tricks

Use Kenji's dash to quickly close in on enemies or escape dangerous situations.
Combine dash and slash attacks for maximum damage and healing.
Time your super carefully to take advantage of the invulnerability frames.
Use the "Nigiri Nemesis" star power to tank damage in crucial moments.
