Heroes that work well with Genji

Good partners for Genji: pick one beside them, or pick Genji beside one.

Tanks

  • Winston (great pair): dive: both land on the bubbled target together
  • D.Va (good pair): dive partner; Defense Matrix covers his entry
  • Zarya (good pair): Graviton holds a group for Dragonblade; bubble on his dive
  • Doomfist (decent pair): dive tank who opens their backline for him
  • Hazard (decent pair): both dive; walled-off targets are easy Blade kills

Damage heroes

  • Tracer (good pair): two flankers splitting their backline
  • Ashe (decent pair): Genji pressures their backline while she holds the long angle
  • Cassidy (decent pair): he guards the backline from dive while Genji flanks
  • Emre (decent pair): Genji's flank pressure gives him free mid-range targets
  • Soldier: 76 (decent pair): Genji flanks while he holds mid range

Supports

  • Ana (great pair): Nano Boost on Dragonblade
  • Kiriko (great pair): Kitsune Rush speeds Dragonblade; Swift Step follows him into the dive
  • Doctrine (good pair): Invigorating Drones' attack speed on Dragonblade
  • Juno (good pair): torpedoes heal him mid-dive; Orbital Ray boosts Dragonblade damage
  • Sombra (good pair): EMP into Dragonblade
  • Zenyatta (good pair): Discord on the target he dives
  • Mercy (decent pair): Guardian Angel follows his dive; damage boost on Dragonblade
  • Wuyang (decent pair): stream on a diving Genji

Heroes that clash with Genji

These pull a different way from Genji: the pair can still work, but it takes more care.

Tanks

  • Domina (minor clash): needs a dive tank to go in with; she holds lanes instead
  • Orisa (minor clash): needs a dive tank to go in with; she holds the front
  • Reinhardt (minor clash): slow shield push; Genji dives alone
  • Sigma (minor clash): holds back with a barrier while Genji needs a tank who dives

Damage heroes

  • Bastion (minor clash): static bunker plan beside a deep dive

Supports

  • Baptiste (minor clash): flanks away from the group his splash heals and Amp depend on
  • Illari (minor clash): flanks out of beam range and Pylon sight
  • Lifeweaver (minor clash): Life Grip can pull him out of Dragonblade; little pressure to follow his dive
