The Lethality of Kiriko\'s Kunai

While Kiriko is classified as a Support, her offensive burst potential is unmatched. Kunai deal 45 base body damage but feature a devastating 2.5x critical headshot multiplier (112.5 damage). Landing two consecutive headshots eliminates any 200 HP DPS or Support in under 0.8 seconds.

Kunai Projectile Characteristics

  • Projectile Speed: 90 meters per second (No damage falloff at any range).
  • Head-Level Crosshair Placement: Position your crosshair strictly at corner head-height and fire rhythmically down chokepoints. Enemy squishies walking around corners will walk directly into double-headshots.
  • Swift Step Escape: Take aggressive off-angle duels against enemy snipers. If your health drops below 50%, Swift Step instantly through walls to your frontline tank.

The Kunai + Melee Burst Finisher

At close range against Tracer or Genji, landing 1 headshot (112.5 dmg) followed by an immediate Quick Melee (40 dmg) brings them down to 22.5 HP, allowing one stray body hit or teammate tick to finish the kill.
