Hey, It's Kiriko! 🦊 Let me know if you all have any questions, and stay tuned for more support content when the new support comes out this April!

[@HiMyNameIsBombhills]

Lmk 9

[@roonion1279]

hang on so it the protection suzu DOES clean status effects? I heard this was patched but im getting mixed responses

[@nitzfoolish7670]

could you make a video on how you should go about healing each teammate i get that everyone should stay close enough for rotation but i mean specially when it comes down to if you need to stay by that single set of people

[@patti6879]

I want kiriko to get her bike as an ult during april fools

[@PAZswagger]

LMAOOO

[@abclutchb7586]

As a console player, tracking is tough so healing I have a problem with, as well as flicks for my kunai and suzu, but this video gave me hope all over again xD

[@amishtechwizard5540]

Jack up your sensitivity a bit, if 100/100 is still too slow you can lower the aim smoothing. I have mine set at 97. Also with any projectile based hero you want to lower the aim assist window size so it doesn’t yank your aim out of place when trying to throw prediction shots from mid-long range. Happy hunting friend

[@inemis976]

​@@amishtechwizard5540 How ?? I mean 100 sensitive it's so high, on controller I'm going to miss a lot cause it's too fast I don't understand :/

[@Alden-]

for me, lowering the aim assist window is a huge upgrade for playing kiriko. having mid- high sensitivity is ideal but up to personal preference. personally, around 50 sensitivity and upwards is going to be fine, and aim smoothing will raise with your sensitivity; the lower the sens, the lower the smoothing, and vis versa. aim assist window should be between 25-50 in my opinion, and i personally prefer playing at a very low aim assist ease in at 9. your aim ease in should be low as well, i think i play at 9 or 11.

[@sxperiorluis]

@@inemis976 100 is slow asf

[@mimthyss]

@@amishtechwizard5540 am I trippin??? 100 is insanely high, I turned my sens down to ~20 on most characters because I find it wayyy easier to control my aim with slower sensitivity. Have I handicapped myself by getting comfortable on low sens or are yall just cracked or smthn. Or we aren't playing with the same controllers bc what the heck haha

[@minilabyrinth]

The amount of slipperyness she has rivals a Mercy I've survived multiple enemies shooting at me so many times it's insane, just by wall climbing, then suzuing my feet as I land, then wall climbing again, then teleporting to a team mate as they're coming back from spawn

[@sleepysabi4154]

I recently hit diamond again since ow1 where I mostly played mercy for her survivability n some ana but I’ve been playing a lot of kiriko this season. This video was a great way to help me think more when using my abilities. I’ve found myself using my swift step to “save” a teammate that may have extended too far and in result got me killed as well. Being more aware going forward is something I’ll be working on. Great video 💗

[@tomneeley5395]

Sameeee but im not diamond im a lot newer 😹

[@flarestar9442]

Thanks for the video! I just hit plat for the first time, and was pretty much mostly using kiriko. Before jumping into games of plat I wanted to learn some more before jumping in and your video came out at the perfect time. A few things I was already aware of and trying my best to learn it myself, but I learned a lot more than I was expecting. Can’t wait to apply this to my training!

[@PAZswagger]

Glad I was able to help!

[@dookyswanson]

i appreciate your content so much. the overall research, care and effort put into each upload is always top notch. your work continues to be fantastic. keep it up paz

[@PAZswagger]

Thank you, seriously :)

[@taelius]

This is incredible thorough overview, and so well explained

[@alexoderdenge7229]

I saw lots of videos about kiriko tips, and this video is simply the best

[@shyrain67]

thanks for this guide! it will completely evolve my kiriko gameplay, since i learned that ive been using suzu wrong the whole time

[@Buckxxxxxx1]

Honestly a great video, upped my game with Kiriko alot.

[@AVpecanpie]

Thanks! Very helpful

[@-.SkinnyWhale.-]

Thanks Paz! It’s great to hear some solid tips that are within the recent updates.

[@PAZswagger]

Glad I could help!

[@timelordtori]

Dude the cast time for tp gets me every time

[@aidan5720]

helpful info, im a genji main who just figured out how much his aim translates to kiriko so i can put out high damage, but i felt like i was still trying to play genji and neglecting heals trying to do damage or healing only. throwing 2 kunais whilst healing works alot better now

[@Adam_Adam_Adam]

This was really good especially for new kiri players

[@Boooooooooooooooooo1]

Thanks so much I’m hard stuck bronze cause I suck and this guide really helps thanks!

[@D3AD_FOX]

Just started using her and man is she hard, I’m on console so the controls are a bit tricky, she’s just very difficult to get used to, even when you have to kill someone, it’s hard to land good hits, gonna still practice using her tho but at times I need to switch to other characters to help my team out more

[@HikaruNaruzata]

totally just realized that the background music is the music from the trauma center series, specially under the knife 2. this man has good taste in music

[@KathrynZilla]

I can get up to low diamond on Mercy but am stuck in gold/plat for other supports, I'm hoping I can get more use at Kiriko. Thanks for the guide!!

[@HesOneShotOMG]

I just got her and really like that I can heal as well as fight and fight well

[@abclutchb7586]

I’d love to see a team video, like popular meta teams that work, could give details on why the team works and what every member of the team does for the team

[@PAZswagger]

I do want to start working on these types of videos. Next week might be tough but I can see what I can make work.

[@jgray1831]

Thanks

[@angelcake7077]

Can you do a video on win conditions and team comps ?

[@euphoria1876]

I can not explain how much this video helped me! On my first day of using Kirko in qp after watching your video I got up words of 11k heals in one game. Now I get 8k heals per every 10 minutes now. Thank you so much!

[@reversedemigah822]

What are your recommended settings for people with not so good aim like your advanced settings?

[@disgustof-riley8338]

Let's fucking GO! So excited! New guide to chew on. I'm also excited to see my cameo (this is Elsa)

[@charlievibin9076]

what i do is headshot and if they are near hit straight after they die quite quickly

[@PIumcloud]

what are the settings for that crosshair

[@marlyxmar]

2 things also:Suzu boops a little bit and kitsune tacvisor is cracked!

[@PAZswagger]

It does boop but I didn't want people to start using it just for this and also make sure you don't overult even if it is a good combo!

[@Alaskan907]

One question about healing with yellow vs blue colors. If you attempt to heal and it's still blue, can they run into the healing and still receive it, or is it useless once blue?

[@PAZswagger]

They can still run into it. Although, most people are not thinking about where the healing is when you are on kiri

[@loganross4537]

Am I able to play her as a dos but also a healer

[@JediHermes]

Do you do vods? I'm a gm 3 kiriko and think it'd be pretty cool and helpful for a high level player to review my gameplay

[@PAZswagger]

I do vods over on my fiverr. Link in description

[@tinted_7475]

Paz the goat! 🐐 spamming support friend with this rn

[@PAZswagger]

🐐🐐🐐

[@SemmiQ]

I honestly don’t get what’s so bad about using Suzu “too early”. I get TP cuz that’s your life but Suzu doesn’t seem as sting as everyone says. What am I missing?

[@PAZswagger]

If you use suzu in a moment when you don't need it, you now don't have it for when you really need it to keep someone alive or stop a crucial ultimate.

[@JupitelThunder]

depends if the enemy has Shatter/Anti Nade/Blizzard or other CC ults. If not just spam it.

[@Cudijeans]

You forgot about how kiriko can walk faster when backwoods

[@Cudijeans]

The same speed as genij

I've found my people

[@cynthiahembree3957]

I do have a question do you have a actual aim routine for Kiriko? You just didn't give enough info on that. Just saying do aim training isn't too helpful.

[@PAZswagger]

Using code VAXTA for about 15-30 minutes a day is what my old routine was when I was playing competitively. The results do not come quickly, and at the end of the day, it just comes down to practicing and playing the game a whole bunch.

[@amishtechwizard5540]

They should lower her crit multiplier from 3-2.5x, increase the cooldown on tp from 6-8 and turn suzu into an aoe fortify instead of straight up invulnerability and intangibility. She’d still be a top tier support because of her ult but I can’t think of any decent changes to make to Rush.

@@inemis976 because stupid high mobility + a “fuck you” button + one of the best últs in the game while dealing that much damage is stupid.

[@Alden-]

@@amishtechwizard5540 stupid high mobility? you do realize that mercy, lucio, and moira all exist right? and those are just supports. kiriko requires a teammate within 35 meters for her to teleport away, and the wallclimb is either useless or just alright depending on the map.
