Dominate Overwatch Stadium with these top Genji builds! 🔥 ⇒ OverwatchCentral

Okay Overwatch friends, if you are as obsessed with Genji as I am, you’re going to fall in love with these Stadium builds. Stadium mode is crazy fast and unforgiving, and if you want to carry games (and look stylish doing it), these Genji builds are going to be your secret weapon. 🥷✨

Let’s go over the three builds you need to know: Poke Genji, Melee Genji, and Neutral/Flex Genji!

🎯 Best poke Genji build for Overwatch Stadium

This setup is about turning Genji into a nonstop shuriken machine. 🎯

You start by picking Sacred Shuriken, which fires five primary shurikens instead of three. Instant power-up!

Then pick Cybernetic Speed, boosting your attack speed by 30%. Since you fire five shurikens every shot, this buff stays stacked all the time.

Next, grab Wyrm’s Maw, which makes enemies take 10% more damage per hit, stacking up to four times. You max it instantly because of your five-shot burst.

Finally, pick Dragon’s Breath to seriously level up your poke from a distance.

Bonus picks:

Hanamura Healing: gives overhealth when you crit or dash ❤️
Deflect-o-bot: buffs your deflects by 50% and auto-redirects projectiles (during the first second)
– Please note that Deflect-o-bot has currently been removed from the game due to fixing – it should be added back to the game soon!

Playstyle: Farm poke damage, shred shields, keep your distance, and scale into a monster!

🗡️ Best melee Genji build for Overwatch Stadium

If you want to slice and dice up close, this is the build for you! 🗡️

Start with Iaido Strike — it massively buffs your quick melee swings and resets dash faster.

Then add Hidden Blade, giving your melee attacks 50% life steal. Now every slash heals you!

Next, pick Hanamura Healing again (yes, it works here too!) so crits and dashes generate overhealth.

Finally, grab Hashimoto’s Bane to increase your melee crits and make finishing off enemies way easier.

Important item:

Ambusher Optics: makes Genji’s melee and shots always crit enemies from behind.
This is the center of your melee snowball power! 🥹

👉 Goal: always jump behind enemies, crit them, and dash-reset forever!
👉 Build lots of attack speed, weapon life steal, and some movement speed for crazy resets.

Playstyle: Flank hard, backstab for crits, and heal like crazy while brawling in their backlines.

⚡Best neutral/flex Genji build for Overwatch Stadium

This is your save the game build when things get tough. 💥
Perfect if you get snowballed early or need to flex between poke and brawl!

Start with Forged Under Fire to heal 60% of the damage you prevent with deflect.

Add Techno Leech for weapon life steal and more damage sustain.

Then pick Phantasmic Flux to add ability life steal and boost your base stats.

Later rounds, add Enduring Edge to counter ults like Lucio Beat and Nano Boost.
Or grab Transference Delta to lower your ultimate cost so you can Blade more often!

When you Blade, you can add Dragon’s Breath for super fast resets and damage bursts.
Also pick Spirit of Sojiro to shorten dash cooldowns while deflecting, letting you survive longer fights.

👉 This flex build usually costs around 62,000 gold.
👉 You’ll Blade more often, live through crazy teamfights, and stay active even when behind!

Playstyle: Play safe early, poke and heal, then explode with powerful dragon blades mid and late game. 🐉
