Kiriko Guide - Tips from a Grandmaster Overwatch 2 Player 

As a gm player I’d also like to remind: dont focus on your teammates performance. Focus on your own. You can analyze every time you die, think about potential plays, and you yourself can always do better. Focusing on how bad your tank is won’t let you improve. What’s worse is flaming. Makes you feel better, but makes your team play worse and it’s just negative for no reason. Gm is a very non toxic place as almost every gm player has adapted this mindset. You should too. Edit in 2024 I’m now t500 and finished last season t500 Gm is a very toxic place, not much changes throughout the ranks tbh . You have tons of alt accounts who throw games, mostly for wintrading. HOWEVER, it’s definitely not as toxic compared to a place like plat.

It's such a small detail, but it has really helped improve my aim. When you mentioned Valorant aim and to stop jumping around, she finally began to truly click for me.

For anyone wondering you can't teleport while stuck or "hindered" by Cassidy's Grenade anymore :(

This guys always makes the best guides on youtube

I've seen all kiriko guides and this is the best one I've seen helps alot thx

im new to ow2 and i literally just got kiriko 5 days ago so THANK YOU FOR THIS STRAIGHTFORWARD GUIDE i literally watched other guides but this has been the best one ive seen !!!

Thanks for making this guide! You earned my subscribe :)

Thank you very much!!! This is really helpful and is most likely to stick in our minds! Upping my game is so difficult and most of the time the tips are way too high ceiling or just not easy to do!

man you've just gave me THE BEST advice for main support! i'll sub u

the tip on throwing 1 knife in between heals without losing healing is super good for maximizing damage output, being aware of that is huge so you can take more shots overall. ty great vid

1:27 It’s also Scout Vs Scout Aim in TF2, making use of A&D keys especially in Kiri Vs Kiri where shots DO matter. Especially it’s other heroes that do more damage such as Hanzo, Reaper and others. Choose your battles, if you feel unsafe, you can use swift step to get out instantly. Just make sure there is a teammate nearby.

thank you so much it help to way to much keep up the work

Hey man, I'm stuck between gm5 and gm4 on support (probably because i mainly play ana and my support roster isnt big enough), and I'm trying to expand my knowledge by learning new characters (especially kiriko since she is very good right now), so I wanna thank you for this guide as it helped me learn some stuff even if I'm gm already. The video editing was great too, and it suprises me how underated you are. I'm going to practice and try to learn a lot more for that sweet gm1, so I'm looking forward to any other guides from you if you are willing to do more! I understand this can be rough since youtube probably isnt really rewarding for you right now, but I'm sure you'll grow soon enough. Also it would be cool if you made a discord server for the growing community :) Anyways, thanks for the video and you just gained one more subscriber.

You're the reason I play this hero. Love your guide.

Subscribed. Good luck, nice edit and VO.

Thank u for the tips big bro

Good tips! great guide

"You can always get out with your teleport" tell that to the bug they can never fix lmao

thx bro

I was automatically shooting between heals since I play Bap a lot and it's kinda a habit but I actually thought doing that was the reason some of my teammates died nice to know now that it doesn't decrease the healing output.

Kiriko's actually a shrine maiden but I believe her mother is a Ninja. She takes after her Grandma who was also a shrine maiden

The quality of this video made me think you were a big time RU-vidr, congratulations

I only started playing to pocket mercy my friend but when I saw kiri i just knew I had to learn her, first time I played her, my gm zarya friend was super surprised that my aim was actually pretty good on her 😂 made me so happy so now I am gonna learn her and get the best I can at her! The k u for the guide

As another gm player(bored so I was watching this lol, wondering what this was) and I’ve heard that you should use 100% swift step sens. This allows you to tp even when ur crosshair isn’t near ur teammate. This allows you to have a higher chance to lock onto the teleport so you don’t die for no reason. I hit Gm1 on console, and I wish I could play on pc. I approve of everything in here, this is all great advice. I especially stress to not die. Winning 1v1s against enemy Dps is amazing, but you must be confident and careful in your 1v1 decisions. Dying can easily cost u the fight

Is there any advice for a console player? I'm pretty sure my sensitivities are my issue I'm just not sure where they should be. I feel like I have a hard time keeping the aim on that horizontal line. Loved the video, great tips!

the quality of this video is so high i thought u were a big youtuber + can u make a video on how to climb in lower ranks for example what do you do when your tank is throwing

What do you think about awkward's 4 atep plan for kiriko?

As a Kiriko main I love sniping widows :3

The moment he said val aim: well good im a val player😅😂

meybe you said this in the video (but i forgot) but if you reload as kiriko when her heals are down it reloads the heals before the kunai so you can get your heals up much faster insted of just waiting for them. and if you use the heals before kunai is reloaded it cancels the kunai reload so you can just do it as long as one of your kunai is down

How is this man not 1Mil yet?

the door opening at 5:08

Good old times when kiri can two shot people

Fox power!

Just occurred to me I never use her and that's because she's a throwpick when I can't aim. Her ult is so good though

do you know what your crosshair settings are for kiriko? i'd appreciate it so much!

iirc a couple of patches ago let kiriko weave in 2 kunais without losing max heal. Please correct me if I'm wrong! Great tips!

5:40 - please come down to Diamond and spam this in lobbies!!!!

I love how you called it "Valorant Aim", cause legit this is what I've been doing with Kiriko as one that actually came from Valorant too //D Haha Strafing Jett ULT goes OW ftw

I feel like most ppl dont have 30+ minutes to allot for warmup, i would probably stick with 10 minutes of the aim training lab

hey i have a question! is it better to hold the mouse button to spam her kunais or click for each one you throw?

So here is the deal with me. I have never played a first-person shooter game. Ever. That is until OW2 came out. yes, I am late to the party. But I'm here before it ended, right? I really only joined because it was an opportunity to have something in common or have something to talk about or play with a friend of a friend that I had just met. Anyways - that's not the point. the point is that when I played. Apparently, my now gamer friend has told me I have really good aim and suggested I try to work with characters that are... considered very deadly when it comes to sniping. She suggested Hanzo, Widow, Ashe. You get the point. I did pretty well for someone that has never played games before. (Side note: I prefer to read and go outside. So that is why I spent my life not playing games other than Mario Kart and Pokémon) But even when I did well. I wasn't that excited to play. It was fun, don't get me wrong. But the characters don't fit. Not sure how to explain that. When Kiriko was first introduced and the animation that went along with her. OH, MY GAWD! It's like I fell in love. Okay... I am odd for being this way. But When I finally received her. I felt like I wanted to actually learn how to use her. So, here I am now. Looking at any video I can find to give helpful tips. I approve of this! Hope my mini story wasn't a waste of anyone's time. Whoever decides to read this. I am just happy to play. And dw. I play Ashe as well if I need. ALSO, any tips for someone who may want to play all support heros?

What do you do when you kill the entire team but your teammates still die off of point and won't play objective?

I'm having a hard to time on which one to use. Mauga or Kiriko?

If Cass mag nades you, and you tp away, don't you bring the nade with you to your ally?

VALORANT AIM?!?! OOOH, I CAN DO THAT!!! (Long time valorant nolifer)

How much easier does this look on PVC

All that well, but how Kiriko can defend herself against other heroes, for instance against Moira who has autoaim and a life-sucking black orb?

To be honest I realised how poor my positioning (sorry if i spelled it wrong) was as kiriko btw I'm bronze 4 with kiriko And how bad my aim was once I saw this video I realised that how much I actually improved since I saw this video tysmෆ⁠╹•╹⁠ෆ⑅˖

She seems easier than ana. I usually main ana and brig, every match feels like life or death

HOW DO U CLIMB THE WALL THAT MUCH 😭😭 i can only do double jump off it

what are ur crosshair settings?

the skin is called amaterasu no wonder ur winning

Do you know how to heal a dead teammate with kiriko? Im suffering

For some reason i cant switch my right and left clicks

May I know your dpi and in game sensitivity?

I’m a console player so not sure if this video will help me lol

Hold up she climbs walls 😮

Im always calling myself a tracer counter coz one shoot on tracer are so easy with kiriko

They didn't buff projectile speed?

every time i get on i dont see any lobbies for tryhard ffa??

My teams literally get obliterated if i don't heal for 5 seconds. I have a crit percentage of 25-30 per game so i'm decent at clicking heads but people on gold have horrendous positioning and decisions so i have to healbot most of the time. Unfortunately i have a winrate of like 35% so i'm rapidly going down despite having most heal and damage of all supports in game. This is high gold btw.

It’s kiriko bro I don’t think anybody needs a tutorial on how to succeed with her

controller settings?

slide the crosshair

Step number one: have good aim

Uhhhhh idk I just play REINHARDT. I like the big guy. Edit: please poket me I will kill everybody with the hammet

You could be the best healer in ow2 but if your team is trash you would never ever ranked up. I main kiriko and every single game I heal somewhere between 15k to 20k and am stuck in silver.

God im so bad at english why

do you have a discord serevr?
