*Uncommon*

***Unlocks at 180 medals***

**OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION**

*A covert spy wielding throwing stars, Hanzo's moves are calculated and executed with grace-when he isn't simply moving too fast to see.*

## **Battle-Spec's**

*-Shoot's 3 shuriken's and becomes invisible when dashing*

*-Medium range spread shooter*

-*Dash increases movement speed and makes you invisible for up to 2.4 seconds*

## **Advice**

* Hanzo's Damage is very weak compared to others, but his dash makes up for it. For an effective combo, use Shockwave. You can dash, which makes you invisible. This way you can run up to your enemies (invisible) and use Shockwave to push them back and stun them for a few seconds. It's very potent and useful.
* Hanzo is a medium-range attacker. He can kite melee fighters but has to be careful of rangers such as Kadira, The Archer.
* Also try to use Triple Arrow from a range, dash towards your enemies, finish them off
* Because of Hanzo's invisibility, he has a higher chance of landing a Poison Dagger on a unsuspecting enemy. Just wait till the poison does its job and you can dash immediately to eliminate the foe. A user of this strategy is Acro, who named it "Nightmare."
* Hanzo falls short on enemies with multiple familiars, but he can counter-act this by obtaining an item such as Fire Rune or Throwable Bomb which can deal high damage to multiple foes. Hanzo can also counter this by kiting the minions and directly attacking the actual opponent guardian (use Poison Dagger or Javelin to deal more damage)
* Hanzo can attack while hidden/running, although targeting is difficult.
* Hanzo can cover large distances unseen by dashing between different patches of cover.
* Players who are good at using Hanzo can use the dash ability during combat to vanish and reappear in a different position relative to the opponent, making it very hard to land blows on him. However, this requires good keyboard skills.
* Another tactical consideration is that other people will guess where Hanzo is based on where they last saw him, the direction he was moving in, and who he's attacking. Rangers can take out Hanzo if he follows them directly, even though he keeps disappearing. The best Hanzo players will divert course/weave while running to reduce this risk (which again is quite difficult), or attack without being seen first.
* Hanzo can "hit-and-run", coming in range invisible, letting off a few quick attacks then vanishing. Again, this is often frustrated by opponents guessing where Hanzo will run to.
* While players know Hanzo is still there and won't stop following or attacking because he's invisible, summoned creatures and NPCs act like he isn't there if he disappears. For example, pursuing elementals, rats, etc will turn around and go back to their summoner. They will re-aggro if he then appears in open terrain and they're still in range. If Hanzo keeps coming in and out of stealth, they might keep turning back and forth.
* He's strong against most melee fighters if kept just out of range or used with stealth. He's also strong against many of the rangers (Kadira, Ursa, etc) as he can often close without taking damage.
* Hanzo is weakened a lot if he's hit by a slowing spell (Sigrid or Water Elemental) because he loses one of his major advantages.
* He also struggles against Azai who is also fast but hits harder.
* Several of Hanzo's usual tactics work less well against opponents with area-effect attacks (Piro, Okoyo).
* Hanzo is weak against Coatl once he's poisoned as this neutralizes his invisibility.
* If you place down a Ballista while Hanzo is invisible the Ballista will follow him but will not shoot until he reappears
