Omega Strikers: Best Builds for Kai – Strategies, Tricks, and Tips

It takes talent to look this good.

In almost any anime or anime-adjacent property, characters exhibit what you may call “protagonist energy.” There are a few kinds of protagonist energy, but one of them involves looking mysterious, being kind of cocky, and having spooky powers, all of which perfectly describe Omega Strikers’ Kai. Here’s a guide for playing as Kai in Omega Strikers.

Omega Strikers: Best Builds for Kai – Strategies, Tricks, and Tips

Kai, also known as “The Natural Superstar,” is pegged primarily as a goalie character. However, he can actually play very well in a flex role; that is, both as a Goalie and a Forward. His ranged attacks and speed-boosting ability make him great at deflecting shots from any angle, but they’re also fantastic for head-on assaults on the opponent’s goal.

Kai’s kit includes the following abilities:

  • Primary: Barrage: Launch a line of small fireballs that deal light stagger.
  • Secondary: Blazing Pace: Gain a 35% Haste effect for 4 seconds.
  • Special: Giga Blast: Launch a large projectile in a straight line that detonates on impact, dealing heavier damage and knocking foes back.

If you’re going for a Forward build, then your goal as Kai is basically to be the biggest jerk you can manage. Knock the core away, harass your opponents, and do everything you can to get in their way. Blazing Pace and Barrage in particular are great for this given the big speed boost you get and the range of your shot, respectively.

For Forward builds, you want the following Trainings:

  • Rapid Fire: Reduces cooldown of primary ability by 12%.
  • Super Surge: Boosts the effectiveness of your Haste abilities by 50%.
  • Extra Special: Reduces special ability cooldown by 15% and knocks 15 seconds off cooldown at the start of a new round.

If you’re going for a Goalie build, you need to get good at aiming and timing your shots. With Barrage, and Giga Blast in a pinch, you blast the ball away from your goal from just about anywhere. Just watch those cooldowns so you don’t get caught unloaded.

For Goalie builds, you want the following Trainings:

  • Rapid Fire: Reduces cooldown of primary ability by 12%.
  • Super Surge: Boosts the effectiveness of your Haste abilities by 50%.
  • Built Differently: Gain 35% more stagger bar and hit 5% harder.

Kai is a great Striker to pick in Omega Strikers whether you’re starting out or just like the image of a bad boy in an oversized coat. I wonder how heavy that thing is…
