Comparison

Since both characters are available for gold and diamonds, they make for a tough choice among players.

Kelly’s ability is slightly more useful on the battlefield when compared to Bushido, which only comes into effect and increases the armor penetration when the HP of the player gets reduced. It is improbable in the battle royale mode since most players heal when the health points are reduced.

However, this doesn’t mean that Hayato’s ability is far behind Dash; it is just a matter of preference and depends on the player’s playing style. Bushido is useful in close-quarter combat since it is a passive ability and increases armor penetration automatically.
