Start the game off by getting piggy bank, power pills, solar tree and two levels of storm drum on the wand which you should be able to get if you did fairly well on the drop. You want to then aim to getting the final level of storm drum which you should be able to get pretty early. Once storm drum is maxed get cocoon and then aim to get both levels of lifesteal. Next either get some slow or buy your shield the latter being the one I most recommend. Once you have shield you want to get both levels of hidden leaves as soon as you can. Next I would say get the speed up on shield and then finish off the nebula dust. Now get the two levels of spiritual cooking and then get an attack speed or two on the wand. Now to top it off go for the last pieridae transformae. Notice I never mentioned the wool shawl and this is because it can be purchased at a number of times since its more for adapting to how the match is going, I myself find it fairly easy to tell when range is required. I would say buy it around mid game as it allows you to hit people and turrets at a safer distance plus it's also good for getting the last few hits on someone as they runaway as well as defending.

(In progress) Hi I'm Ziflock, I'm a frequent awesomenauts player and I'm usually in league 2 or 1. I've used this wiki for a while now but I thought it's time I make a build since although I don't like to boast I win most matches. The purpose of this build is to harass the enemy while shielding your teammates during ganks. You may find the upgrades and purchase order not to your liking but I do well with them and I will explain the need for all of them below.

Purchase Order

Start the game off by getting piggy bank, power pills, solar tree and two levels of storm drum on the wand which you should be able to get if you did fairly well on the drop. You want to then aim to getting the final level of storm drum which you should be able to get pretty early. Once storm drum is maxed get cocoon and then aim to get both levels of lifesteal. Next either get some slow or buy your shield the latter being the one I most recommend. Once you have shield you want to get both levels of hidden leaves as soon as you can. Now around this point of the upgrading I would get the damage over time on the wand since I tried it out recently to test if it put that damage over time on the storm which is does so I've realised you should get it in fairly early get since it adds a tonne of damage against enemy nauts. Next I would say get the speed up on shield and then finish off the nebula dust. Now get the two levels of spiritual cooking and to to top it off go for the last pieridae transformae. Notice I never mentioned the wool shawl and this is because it can be purchased at a number of times since its more for adapting to how the match is going, I myself find it fairly easy to tell when range is required. I would say buy it around mid game as it allows you to hit people and turrets at a safer distance plus it's also good for getting the last few hits on someone as they runaway as well as defending.

Play Style and Tips

(Will actually be completed today)

So, now to explain how to play the build. When I'm playing Genji theres something that I do often and if you know when to do it then it can help win a game, adapt. Knowing when to adapt is crucial to winning games especially in the higher leagues, although I use these upgrades I don't always follow the purchase order word by word because it can often lead to losing a game if your not careful. For example I purchase monarch blessing at a range of different times since the money can be used for more crucial upgrades but at some point (it may be early or fairly late in the game) I can see when my teammates need the shield to help them, I can see when they need certain upgrades on the shield like if they need that movement speed to get away or if they need a bit more health to finish a kill without dying then I buy those upgrades. I do this with the other ability lines too to make sure I'm on top of what's happening.

But enough about adapting on to the upgrade paths themselves. Now some of you or in fact many of you may say free health pills? First of all I don't use paid health on any character not counting one or two I don't play which would definitley need it e.g. Skolldir or Froggy G. In my experience you don't need more health than the free pills give you because with this build your not going to be dying too much, your staying back and shooting them with storm/range and cocooning them when necessary as well as shielding your allies. The piggy bank and solar tree allow you to get more money throughout the game plus you can still get two levels of storm drum (I'm thinking this will get a price increase since it's pretty OP at the beginning because you can just push them back into hiding behind the turret because you can deny areas with the storm and when you get level three they get even more scared of it and will probably start staying back because they know you will fire it. Sorry this is going to be a fairly big build but compared to other builds out there its not the biggest by any stretch of the imagination, now the cocoon and lifesteal is essential in my opinion because as a support and someone who is constantly pushing the enemy back you do not want to leave the lane's often so lifesteal gives you a decent amount of health while allowing you to stay on the lane with allies.
