They double the damage. For example, McCree's Peacekeeper does 70 damage on the body, but 140 damage on the head. The only exception is the scoped shot of Widowmaker's Widow's Kiss (including when deflected by Genji): It has a 2.5x modifier meaning a fully charged bodyshot does 120 damage, while a headshot does 300. While his ultimate ability is activated, Genji's Shurikens are replaced with his blade. Genji can swing once per second, and it takes 1 second to unsheath and resheath the sword. Both Swift Strike and Deflect can be used during this time; Swift Strike's cooldown is reset upon activating this ability. Genji's ammo is also refilled upon completion of the ultimate. Player-controlled Genji and an. Swift Strike does 50 damage (two rectangles) at all times without a Zenyatta or Mercy buff. Swift Strike's cooldown resets whenever Genji gets a kill (any means) and when he activates Dragon Blade. I call bullsht. I am frequently killed with around 100HP by a single dash slash. I understand that Genji can deflect pretty much anything, save for beam weapons and a handful of lethal accessories. Can he deflect melee attacks though? I've been playing more Reaper lately, so I'm at a much closer proximity to characters, and normally if a Genji uses his deflect I stop firing to wait.
Nov 30, 2016 The general thing to do after Swift Striking to an enemy is to use a Shuriken throw followed by a quick melee attack at the target. Do the melee attack to animation cancel the shuriken throw so they can be done almost at the exact same time. This combo does up to 164 damage, but the Swift Strike is at the beginning instead of the end of the combo.
Headshots, or critical hits, are triggered when striking an opponent's head. They double the damage. For example, McCree's Peacekeeper does 70 damage on the body, but 140 damage on the head. The only exception is the scoped shot of Widowmaker's Widow's Kiss (including when deflected by Genji): It has a 2.5x modifier meaning a fully charged bodyshot does 120 damage, while a headshot does 300.
Not all attacks are capable of hitting headshots.
