Hi Guys,
I play a lot of Kuzenbo so today i'm here to teach you how to whip and nene in Joust. DON'T use this build in conquest because it's too expensive and you'll get very behind. The key to maximising your damage as Kuzenbo is to fight when near minions or the tower so that your 3 can be used most effectively. It's also important to remember your 2 reduces your cool downs so don't be afraid to use it even when it's barely reflecting damage. Your ultimate has cc immunity on it, does a lot of damage and disrupts the enemy so it can be used as a finisher or for peeling for your allies.
Pro Tips:
Buying Kuzenbo's dance emote will make you 15% stronger so i'd highly recommend this. The Christmas skin has adorable nenes which can leave your opponents distracted and vulnerable so I also recommend this.
Higher level skills to master:
By bouncing your nene between the joust walls you maximise the surface area in which an enemy can be hit. So if you're slightly out of range, poking or not confident you'll land the nene it's best to go for a multiple bounce.
If you hit someone with a nene near a wall you can push them into the wall and trap them between you and the nene essentially causing a root lasting several seconds as they cannot move. This can be difficult to pull off but once you get the hang of it it's one of his strongest qualities for team fighting in joust.

This is the build I use when playing Joust for making most of my content. After breastplate the build if flexible so for example into healers you can pick up a pestilence or if you're really carrying a Soul Reaver is always funny. This build also works well with Bacchus due to them sharing similar characteristics such as having inbuilt mitigation in their kit. The reason for starting boots rather than tier 1 mystical is so that you can carry more pots + the extra mobility helps with the 3 early.
Relics wise always start blink but the second relic is versatile, shell and thorns are my most used but go with what you need for the situation.

Strong into mages with large delayed AoE. This gives kuzenbo time to pop 2 and thorns for maximum damage reflect. This also works for dumb hunters that you'll find in casual modes.
Kuzenbo struggles into double warrior comps as his main strength is being able to zone and eliminate squishy characters.
Bacchus is simply too attractive for Kuzenbo to compete, even with these guns.
