Kaze Brawler from Brawl Stars is the Geisha-ninja Hybrid

It is literately true to say that if you have been surfing the Brawl Stars community in the recent days, the name Kaze has been all around. People are quite enthusiastic about her. I see the reason why Supercell does not release a new rarity very often. The first Ultra Legendary Brawler is Kaze; hence, there is a lot of expectation. Or is she worth the 5,500 credits or is she a shiny means of parting with your wallet?

It is not only the cost that makes Kaze unique since she is very much two characters in one. She is a cool Geisha one minute, which lures you into a foggy storm and the next minute she is a Ninja who charges at your whole team. It is difficult to follow that, particularly when the game picks up. You have the sense that it is the most high-skilled kit we have ever seen in years.

The Duality of Kaze Brawler

You must accept her identity crisis, in order to play Kaze. You cannot simply be in one mode hoping to come out with good results. You have to know when to change. These are the way her two sides look on the field:

  1. Geisha Mode: It is her style of control. She travels at a higher speed of 820. Her primary assault, which is the service of Kaze, is an extremely fast dash-and-slash, capable of causing great damage should you touch the rotating Strike Spot.
  2. Ninja Mode: It is the mode where she causes the most damage. She is slower with a speed of 720. Her Silent Shuriken attack is more destructive, the closer the target the better, and it is ideal in eliminating high-priority targets.

How to Win with the Kaze Brawler in Brawl Stars

How do you win with her? It is her gadget, Hensojutsu, which allows one to change forms. As you become a Ninja, you have the brief period when you are not seen. Suppose that you put this team in your Fan Storm mist as a Geisha, and then slip behind them as a Ninja, and come back around to kill them. It is as if it were unfair to pull it off right.

But don’t get overconfident. Kaze is an Assassin, not a tank. She possesses health of max eight thousand. In case you mis-judge a dash, she can easily be killed. I have also watched several players hop into a 3v1 thinking that they are invincible to be taken back to the spawn screen within two seconds. A learning curve is a mountain that one climbs.

The Kaze Brawler vs. The Meta

When we compare her to the current S-tier, things get interesting. She doesn’t have the sheer, annoying poke potential of Crow, and she definitely doesn’t have the raw, brain-dead pressure of a Hypercharged Edgar. But she occupies this weird middle ground that’s terrifying in the right hands.

The Best Kaze Brawler Builds

In case you have her completely even, you must put her into set up. Individuals continue to debate the most optimal compile, nevertheless the present-day professionals suggest the following.

Star Force: Compliments Free. It is highly effective as it lowers the ammunition rate of the enemy by a third when it is in your Geisha storm. That makes them easy targets.

Gadget: Hensojutsu. This device is required to change forms and become invisible.

Gears: Have Gadget Cooldown and Shield. Because her special moves require changing gadgets, you would like to have the gadget prepared as frequently as feasible.

Pro Tip: Tag a lot of enemies with your Ninja Super, Fist of the Brawl Star. The delayed explosion is 3,000 damage, which is sufficient to kill the majority of the most delicate brawlers within a second.

Another Hint:

Keep in mind that her Geisha mist is blocking sight. Your teammates are able to see inside, and the enemy is not able to see out. It is a fine method to intimidate the opposing team.

Is Kaze a Balanced Brawler?

It is much discussed whether she is broken. Her dual Hypercharge (Ancient Energy) is said to give her too much power by some players. It accelerates her and makes her do more damage in either way and gives her a Ninja dash as a finisher. However, it is a hard nut to crack and hence cannot be a good player, especially when it comes to the casual players.  

Your pro player can make her seem like a god, but your average teammate could be exactly the problem. The high cost of credit also implies that you will not see her in every match, which may be beneficial to the meta.

Honestly, Kaze is a breath of fresh air. She’s flashy, she’s expensive, and she’s a nightmare to go up against if the player knows what they’re doing. But that’s what makes Brawl Stars fun, right?
