Tips and How to Play

Disable Healing Ofuda Toggle

We recommend disabling Toggle Healing Ofuda, as doing so makes it easier to use and control the ability. You can find this option in the Options menu under the Hero tab of Kiriko's Controls page.

Swift Step Can Teleport Through Walls

Note that Kiriko's Swift Step allows her to teleport through walls. Take advantage of his feature to have an easier time reaching teammates in need and escaping from difficult situations.

Protection Suzu Can Nullify Enemy Ultimates

While Protection Suzu works well for cleansing debuffs and saving low-health allies, you can also use it to completely negate the damage from lethal enemy ultimates. Use Protection Suzu to negate deadly ultimates like Cassidy's Deadeye and Doomfist's Meteor Strike.

Kiriko Story

Learned From Her Mother and Grandmother

Overwatch 2 - Learned From Her Mother and Grandmother
Kiriko developed her unique set of traditional and modern combat techniques thanks to her mother and grandmother. Kiriko's grandmother taught her how to use the fox spirit's healing powers, while her mother passed down her skills and discipline with the blade.

While each of them wanted Kiriko to follow their sole path, she instead decided to combine their techniques to form her own.

Trained with Hanzo and Genji

Overwatch 2 - Trained with Hanzo and Genji
Since Kiriko's mother trained Hanzo and Genji, Kiriko grew up and practiced her techniques alongside them. She is very close to Genji, as they were both playful and mischievous, even causing chaos in Shimada Castle when they were younger.

Protects the City With the Yokai

Overwatch 2 - Protects the City With the Yokai
Witnessing the fall of the Shimadas and the rise of the oppressive Hashimoto clan, who kidnapped her father, Kiriko decided to strike back against them. To do this, she joined up with likeminded youth around Kanezaka to form the Yokai - a small group that aims to fight the Hashimoto and protect the local community.
