Your Power is very dependent on whatever your team needs to ensure a win or comeback. If they have alot of people just shooting your deflect then get spirit of sojiro. If you need more damage then get Hidden Blade. This will follow the SoJ build, but if youre going Hidden Blade then sell custom stock for ambush optics. Feel free to also sell ninja soles as well for gloom gauntlet if you can afford it.

Description

The full build plays like an off-tank. Trade aggro with your main tank and fight with them while challenging flanks when you can. you don't do too much damage but at least you can stall point a bit longer than any other genji can.
