How to beat Kaze

  • Use area damage on her storm. You cannot see inside it, but you can still hit it.
  • Spread out after the ninja dash so the marks do not chain.
  • Pressure her during the switch, before she is set up.

Common mistake: Standing still in the path of the ninja dash and taking the delayed explosion.

Game plan

Kaze switches between two aspects. As a geisha she dashes and slashes, and her Super creates a storm that hides her team. As a ninja she throws knives that hit hardest up close, and her Super is a long dash that marks enemies in her path for a delayed explosion. Each aspect plays like a different brawler.

  1. Use the geisha storm to hide your team's approach or hold the objective unseen.
  2. Switch to ninja to finish fights. The marking dash deals high delayed damage.
  3. Use the switch itself as a tool: your gadgets trigger when you change aspect.

Drafting Kaze

When to pick
Pick Kaze in Gem Grab and Brawl Ball, where hiding the team and finishing fights both matter.
Who to pair with
