If you boot up Overwatch today, there's a good chance that at some point during your first game you'll find yourself on the receiving end of Genji.

Boasting a wide array of attacks including punishing throwing stars, a dashing sword strike and a deflect ability that reflects an enemy's damage back at them, the hero can be an absolute nightmare to face off against for both veterans and newcomers alike.

But while everyone wants to be a death-dealing ninja, it admittedly takes some patience before you can truly start slicing through enemies as Genji.

There's a steep learning curve to his abilities that means you'll probably get wrecked in the first few games using him, but if you take the time to master the hero's skill set then you could become one of the most dangerous forces on the battlefield.
