Playstyle

Kajir is a tricky, squishy melee assassin with high single target burst damage and a variety of status effects.

• He often lurks on the sides of the battlefield, waiting for an opportunity to execute isolated targets.
• Kajir's Q is a powerful tool that enables him to wait at a safe distance before engaging.
• His charge RMB into basic attacks and dodge attacks deal some of the highest dps in the game, and are great for bursting down a target.
• His E isn't quite as straightforward as the escapes of most other heroes, but can be highly effective if the player is tricky and unpredictable.
• His focus lets the entire team see enemy heroes at all times, on top of giving Kajir buffs that make his burst damage even more deadly.

Deadly pressure, patience, and unpredictability make Kajir strike fear into all his opponents, even the ones with more health.

Notes

• Back Stab can do great damage when initiating, but it can also be saved to interrupt at the opportune moment.
• Unseen Blade is a great engage tool, but must be used on an opponent who can't dodge it. Try using it when your target is distracted or doesn't see it coming.
• Skeleton Crew is great when used both offensive and defensively, but the dash alone is usually not enough to get you out of trouble. Make sure to always have enough stamina to escape afterwards.
• Kajir's focus gives the entire team wallhacks. This can be insanely valuable at higher levels of play, but doesn't do much for beginners. The buffs to move speed and damage are quite substantial, and last long enough to both secure kills and escape to safety afterwards.
