Hanzo is a deadly assassin with a unique set of area-of-effect skills and a good buff. He can easily kill the forest monster in an instant with his first skill. The ultimate allows him to transform into his Demon form and deal massive damage to enemies while his main body is protected from any damage.
In this guide, we'll take a look at the set of abilities, show the best spells and emblems for the hero, and provide top builds for various game situations.

The character was once a member of the mysterious and powerful Akakage clan, but was exiled. All the power of the hero is in the evil demon hiding inside, which feeds on the energy of dead enemies. Having acquired enough blood and flesh of the enemy, a demon breaks out of Hanzo, greatly increasing his effectiveness in battle.
Hero Skills
Hanzo is a hero by four skills: one passive and three active. Next, let's take a closer look at each of them.
Passive Skill - Ame no Habakiri
The essence of the ability lies in the automatic collection of blood from the dead nearby opponents. Two drops when killing creeps and 10 drops when an enemy hero dies. Accumulation allows you to use active abilities.
First Skill - Ninjutsu: Demon's Feast
As Hanzo, you hit creeps or heroes. After making 5 auto attacks, you can eat someone from nearby. With this absorption, 10 drops of blood are added to the piggy bank. If you decide to attack the Lord or the Turtle, then using this skill on them will take away 500 hit points from them at the beginning of the game and up to 1000 at the last stage.
For a much more efficient application of the skill increase your hitting speed. With such a buildup, earning gold and levels in the forest becomes much easier.
Second Skill - Ninjutsu: Soul Eater
Hanzo creates a circular spiky area in the target direction and deals Physical damage. When an enemy is hit, it will take additional damage after a while and be slowed down. The skill can hit the enemy up to 8 times, and after each successful hit, the hero will receive 1 demonic blood. Filling the ult bar is the main purpose of this ability.
Ultimate - Kinjutsu: Supreme Ninja
So we got to the inner demon of the hero. After filling the gauge with the energy of dead enemies, Hanzo transforms into a demon that can pass through any obstacles, with increased speed of movement and attacks. In fact, the demon is a copy of the hero with the same characteristics, the speed is increased by 30%.
It is also necessary to disassemble the principle of operation of a copy in battle:
- A demon in the midst of a battle in the very center of the battle is killed by the enemy – Hanzo is stunned and slowed down.
- Double pressing the ultimate button – the copy simply flies back to the hero.
- Ultimate time expired - Hanzo's body flies to where the last time the demon was, at such moments one must be extremely careful and not climb on the rampage.
When the demon is alive, active skills change:
First Active Skill: 5 units of blood are required to activate. Using the ability, the copy releases spikes and deals powerful damage, which in total consists of pure physical damage and a certain percentage of the opponent's maximum hit points. For example, 550 units + 25% of the enemy's HP. The length of the spikes is limited, so it is very difficult to use this skill from afar, you have to be in the center of the battle, forcing the hero to remain motionless.- Second active skill: Allows you to move to the specified point, which is visible to enemies before casting. If an enemy enters the movement area, it takes a lot of damage. Best used to break into the center of a team fight or to block escape routes for opponents.
Best Emblems
For Hanzo, an excellent choice would be Assassin emblems. Distribute the talents as shown in the screenshot for maximum effect.
- Gap - gives 5 adaptive penetration.
- Master Assassin — increases damage to single targets.

How to play Hanzo
This hero requires certain skills and experience, so you need to constantly train in regular matches. The following are some tips that will allow you to properly use the character at various stages of the match.
Beginning of the game
Killing mobs in the forest will be a good help for you and the team. Remember to keep an eye on the line as you occasionally run through the woods to the other direction. So you will farm gold and benefit the team by pumping your hero. Try to constantly use the first skill to farm the jungle faster in order to buy the first items from the build.
Mid game
You can act more boldly, fill the blood scale more often, sometimes using the second skill. It is recommended to use the ult from cover, catch the enemy on his own mistakes.
late game
You can turn around to your full potential. They pressed their ultimate, jumped into the battle heap, released spikes and helped the team either with an assist or by killing an enemy player. The main thing is not to forget to keep track of the main copy of the character. Many users, knowing his weakness, will not touch the demon, but will look for Hanzo's body. Often you will be stunned and slowed down, try to avoid this.
Conclusions
After playing and studying the features of Hanzo, we can draw several conclusions. This is a hero with a good farm ratio and rather difficult skills, so he is not suitable for everyone. For beginners, his ultimate will be difficult, so it will be possible to realize it only after training matches and a good study of abilities. Without an ult, the character is vulnerable, which forces users to play carefully and look for low-health targets.
Hanzo is highly dependent on his team. Because he needs to be covered, especially in those moments when the demon is killed and Hanzo is stunned. Without team standards, it cannot be implemented normally.
Hanzo não somente tem potencial para se construir um build de dano, hanzo é um herói que, se bem trabalhado nas partidas, pode com certeza fazer somente itens de defesa, mesmo assim concluir seus objetivos causar muito dano e vencer.
