AnOverwatch 2player has shown a hilarious clip of themselves playing the support character Kiriko poorly. Or at least, the player is equally bad with theOverwatch 2Hero as their opponent.
Kiriko, a support Hero inspired by Japanese Shinto shrine maidens, became playable inOverwatch 2. Fitting her line of divine work,Overwatchrecently revealed anew mythic Kiriko skin. As a shrine maiden, Kiriko’s abilities mostly revolve around the concept of divine protection. Using a Suzu and Ofuda, a sacred bell and blessed paper seals respectively, Kiriko cleanses and heals her teammates. Of course, noOverwatchHero would be complete without some form of attack, and this is where her kunai come into play. While not the most deadly attack in the game, Kiriko’s kunai can easily pose a threat to lower HP characters. Of course, to really pose a threat players should aim for a headshot to triple the damage output.

Reddit user and Kiriko player, Anesthesia5, uploaded a clip of themselves matched against an enemy Kiriko. Aiming for the enemy’s head, Anesthesia5 missed almost every shot. Luckily though, the enemy Kiriko fared no better and missed all over her shots. The players were left in a stalemate of dancing between kunai. Unluckily for Anesthesia5, this was not due to aKiriko teleportation bugbut, as the player put it, being “equally as bad” with the Hero. Commenters were quick to point out that with some added optimism it would be fair to say that both players were equally good at dodging.
Recognizing that they were evenly matched, whether due to being equally bad at hitting each other, or equally good at dodging, the players called a truce by crouching in place of a handshake before running off to aid their respective teams. Other commenters referred to the fact that the tank Heroes on each team were likely sorely missing their healer, while others speculated over whether the two Kirikos settled the fight later. In highly competitive games such asOverwatch 2, it is pretty rare to see a truce being called, especially without one player suddenly betraying that truce. In contrast, almost the exact opposite happened when two duelingBastions killed each other with their ults.
Years after the initial release of the originalOverwatch, it’s interesting to see how players enjoy the game in different ways, whether it be highly competitive, or far more friendly like Anesthesia5 and their Kiriko opponent. TheOverwatchteam also continues to keep the game fresh, although not always meeting the fans’ expectations, updating the game by adding new maps, and changing certain aspects such as listening to fan feedback andgetting rid of map pools inOverwatch 2. As the game continues to evolve over the years, the players will continue to make the most of each character.
Overwatch 2is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
