Mash jC all game then claim you're good because you can do the rekka sometimes.
Enja has received important buffs to his mobility and speed with a faster run, an overhead which leaps forward and faster medium slashes. Your WFT is also much better, with its faster startup making it more effective as an anti-air and as a combo tool. Furthermore, Enja has new tools which further boost his damage output, such as a delayed heavy slash similar to Haohmaru's 632146AB and a more damaging rekka ender which you can only perform while in Rage. Overall, Enja is in a much better spot than he was in V Special, more or less due to his damage remaining roughly the same whilst most other characters got hurt by the universal damage nerf, which means you can't brag about how weak your gorilla mash character is anymore.
Enja is a slow moving, but hard hitting rushdown character that can potentially end rounds with the right hit.
Pros
Cons
Tanky: 97% damage modifier makes him the 2nd tankiest character in the game, only Kusaregedo beats him out in tankiness.
High Damage: If he can get the hit, Enja can potentially do almost half of an opponent's lifebar. This is due to his Rikudou Rekka (236A~236B~236C) and it allows him to turn the tide of battle instantly if properly landed.
Surprisingly Good Buttons: Whilst he does have some very bad normals (namely 5C), Enja actually has a good suite of buttons, namely 5B, 5D, 66D, njA, and jC. In particular, jC is a very hard button to contest once it's out.
King of Rage: Enja has the highest Rage retention in the entire game. Not only does this boost his already insane damage output, it also means you will have consistent access to WFT. On top of this, Rekka becomes even scarier as there's a Rage-only followup that does even more damage than the non-Rage one.
Multiple Spirit Choices: Compared to most other characters, who usually have one or two "viable" Spirits, Enja works well with a majority of them, the only exception being V Spirit.
Bad Approach: Whilst his movement across the board has been buffed from V Special, Enja still moves very slow. His jump arc, while good for maintaining pressure, is not good for approaching, especially against characters with tall fireballs like Charlotte.
Zero Ranged Presence: To compound his bad approach, Enja probably has the lowest range out of the entire cast. None of his buttons extend past slightly beyond roundstart range, and utilizing one of his longer ranged normals is asking to get punished. Usually you'll just have to jump a lot and pray jC lands, but that's not even a viable strategy against some characters.
Lacking Defensive Options: Whilst some Spirits can mitigate this, Enja's defense is not good. His only reversal (disregarding Spirit mechanics) is Exploding Pants (421D) which is only strike invincible and takes a fair bit to come out, meaning opponents with a keen eye can punish this on reaction with Throw. Even if not thrown, it is very minus on block and can still lead to you getting punished anyways.
Demanding Execution: Rekka, whilst doing a lot of damage, is tough to land. You have to hit the exact middle of your opponent, which is a very small window and the timing for said window changes depending on the position of where you hit it, usually meaning you have to eyeball it. Even if you don't decide to go for landing Rekka, Kicks (623D) require mashing 4D and 6D to get more damage out of it. His other options require either a solid read (41236C, jC, WFT) or a high risk mixup (6B and 6D confirms).

Damage taken: 97% (2nd Tankiest)

Gameplan
Enja needs to get in. He works best at close range where he has access to hard-hitting strikes, pressure, mixups and explosive damage potential, but any further out than that and he has nothing to threaten the opponent with. Your run is faster than before which helps with this, while you still have access to rolls if you pick II/V Spirit. Your low jump is still more suited for rushdown than it is for jumping over fireballs, which means you still have trouble against taller fireballs such as Charlotte's Tri-Slash. Though you don't have any fast long-ranged pokes to harass with from a distance, you have fast whiff punishes with 5B and 2B which combo into your rekka sequence (236A~236B~236C) even at max range, 66D for a guaranteed knockdown and a slower punish in the form of 5C. Most characters have a button they can use to poke you out of your jumps, but it is at 5B range where you can start applying pressure with your jC, a strong jump-in which also has high vertical reach. A new tool Enja has at this range is 6B, his overhead from V Special which now leaps forward a bit, not only giving you an answer against low pokes but also some mixup opportunity even from a distance. If your opponent isn't trying to zone you out with projectiles/pokes, then simply jumping forward and occupying space with jC can be hard for the opponent to stop. As far as anti-airs go, your Feet of Flames (623D) is unreliable and requires you to mash 4D and 6D to maximize its damage, while your WFT is much more reliable for its fast startup and tall hitbox if you have access to it. Your Annihilating Flames (421D) is a strike-invincible reversal which may also be used as a dependable anti-air, particularly against slower jumps. For air-to-airs your best options are njA, jC and jD.
When he gets close, Enja has strong mixup opportunity with his jC and 6B for overheads (the latter is notable as you can link from it into something damaging if it hits either crouching or as a counter hit), and his 6D, 66D and Hades' Flames (236A) rekka starter for lows. A key aspect of the rekka is that it does pitiful damage except for the final hit, which deals a massive amount of damage (usually around 40%) but requires you to hit the exact middle of the opponent. Not only is this a very small window but it changes depending on the position of where you hit it, so there is no rigid timing and you usually have to eyeball it. If you are in Rage, you gain access to an alternative ender in the form of 236987412AB, which doesn't drain your meter upon completion or activation but it will bump up the damage to around 60%. You still have to time it just the same though, and upon failing either version Enja will be vulnerable on the ground for a lengthy amount of time. Gambling for explosive damage is not the only use for 236A - upon hit it bounces the opponent, and if you don't cancel into 236B you recover well before they do in time for a high/low/throw mixup. So the choice is yours: do you take a chance on the high damage, or do you use your frame advantage to force a mixup?
Spirits
I Spirit
I makes Enja, by far, the most damaging character in the game when in Rage. He can kill everyone except Gedo with CH jC, 6D, 5B into Rage rekka ender, and against characters who take higher damage like Ukyo, he can simply kill them with 2C into Rage rekka ender. Enja already has the highest rage retention, but it becomes even higher in this Spirit. Enja also benefits from Hyper Slash a lot as reading an opponent's poke and dealing a high amount of damage from it gives Enja another alternative to his already high damage. You lose out on WFT, which could be a dealbreaker to some, but if you can consistently land Rekka, this Spirit is by far the best "bang for your buck".
Pros
Insanely high damage, even without good rekka execution.
Hyper Slash adds to his already high damage output and makes him even scarier on the ground.
As if Enja didn't Rage quickly enough, he gets raged even quicker in this Spirit.
Cons
You lose out on WFT.
Requires good rekka execution to maximize this Spirit's potential.
II Spirit
II is super helpful. Due to constantly going into Rage, Enja benefits a lot from the invincible poses this Spirit brings. With this Spirit you have access to rolls, a solid (albiet one-dimensional) way around zoning, and WFT becomes even scarier as both an anti-air and a combo tool thanks to it's ability to break weapons. Enja also gets access to a once-per-match Secret Move in this spirit, inputted with 623623BC. Think of it as a super version of 623D that nets high reward without having to mash to gain damage. You also have access to Toy Transformation, which Enja benefits a lot from since he can use it to dodge fireballs and potentially punish using 236A. Use this spirit if you want the opponent to second-guess their offense or just want a means around zoning that isn't jumping in and praying jC hits.
Pros
Goes into invincible poses a lot because of his high Rage retention.
Has ways around zoning with rolls and Toy Transformation.
WFT becomes even scarier as it breaks weapons.
Secret Move gives Enja a once-per-match way to go into consistent damage.
Cons
Invincible poses are so frequent that you have to listen to him scream every time he goes into Rage.
Secret Move is once-per-match instead of VI having it permanently.
Enja is not really good at bullying unarmed opponents.
III Spirit
III gives Enja the ability to manually charge his Rage, which does not take long given his insanely high rage retention. He gains access to an air parry which can help mix up his jump offense, and you also have a side-step to use instead of 421D as a reversal. Additionally, when your health is low enough, Enja becomes permanently raged, which means you have the chance of making a comeback if you are good with rekka execution. This Spirit is much more dependent on the matchup, specifically against characters who can consistently rival/beat your jump offense.
Pros
Consistent access to Rage thanks to charging it up not taking very long.
Air parry adds layers to his already good jumping offense.
Sidestep functions as a much needed reversal.
Permanently raged when health is low enough, which heightens his comeback potential.
Cons
Much more matchup-dependent compared to other Spirits.
Rage resets at the end of every round, but this is much less notable for Enja because he already builds it up quickly.
IV Spirit
IV is very strong. Not only do you retain III's side-step, you also gain the ability to consistently convert into garuanteed damage thanks to Continuous Slash. In particular, CS 2 > 623D is his most consistent combo that isn't reliant on getting a good hit with jC, being in Rage, or having good rekka executiuon. You can also use CS 4 to instantly max out your Rage, which only Enja can do because of his high rage retention. Rage Explosion is also very beneficial as he becomes permanently Raged for a period of time and he also gets access to Issen, a powerful punishing tool that travels fullscreen and is safe on block. Enja in Rage is already scary enough as is, but the added threat of Issen makes him terrifying at all ranges, which can make the opponent play much more defensively and allows you to utilize Enja's mixups to their true potential.
Pros
Continuous Slash gives Enja consistent damage without having to land Rekka or jC. Because of this, rekka execution is very much an optional thing to learn with this spirit, compared to others where they usually need to have it.
CS 4 instantly maxes out Enja's Rage.
Rage Explosion gives Enja another reversal and the added threat of Issen makes him terrifying to contest against whilst he is in it's permanent Rage, which means he can run his mixup game more easily.
Cons
Enja loses out on Rage if Rage Explosion's timer ends or he uses Issen, which limits his comeback potential after it's used.
V Spirit
V is by far Enja's least useful Spirit. This is because it cuts his low Rage time considerably and is focused more around meditation, which is best performed at a range Enja does not want to be in. However, Enja could potentially take advantage of State of Nothingness even without much meditation as he has rewarding mixup options such as his overhead and standing low during slowed time. You also get access to rolls in this Spirit, but II gives that whilst being overall stronger for Enja than V.
Pros
State of Nothingness allows Enja for multiple chances to mixup his opponent whilst activated, even if it's not built up too much.
Rolls grant a solid means around zoning.
Cons
Requires Enja to meditate, which he cannot make use of much because of his high Rage retention making him Rage quickly and not wanting to be in a range where meditating is safe. Even then, he can only build so much of it before starting back at square one.
Rage duration is cut considerably, and as a whole this Spirit is not meant to be focused around Rage, which hurts it's usability with a character essentially built around being in Rage all the time.
II gives rolls whilst being a much better Spirit for Enja.
IV gives Rage Explosion whilst being a much better Spirit for Enja.
VI Spirit
VI is suitable for Enja. Unlike the other Spirits, you have to build your Rage by attacking instead of getting hit, and your meter does not drain whilst full. Performing WFT will always use your meter, even if it whiffs. You also get access to unlimited Secret Moves with a much easier input that II Spirit, but you have to be at low enough health to use them. You also get Mikiri Dodges which, when successfully performed, give you a bit of meter and raise the health requirement for Secret Moves, allowing them to be used earlier. With this Spirit, you also get access to Hyper Guard, which costs a bit of meter, but it will negate chip damage and push the opponent back, giving Enja another defensive option. Overall, due to keeping Rage until you use WFT, this spirit is centered around landing 236A~236B~236987412AB and 236BC as much as possible.
Pros
Permanent Rage until WFT is used.
Secret Move is permanent and gives Enja a safer alternative to rekka in terms of damage.
Hyper Guard gives Enja a much needed defensive option, even if it costs a bit of meter.
Cons
You have to build up meter by attacking.
Requires good usage of Mikiri Dodges to access Secret Moves earlier along with good rekka execution to get full usage out of this Spirit.

Enja performs a slow backhand as fire comes out from his cuffs. Has the highest range and damage of his far slashes, but it is ultimately too slow to use reliably and doesn't recoil, making it very risky to counterpoke with. Still usable as a slow punish tool and combo ender, but stick with 5B if you want a poke with actual threat behind it.

You can't input 214C as an alternative, nor is the input changed when the opponent crosses over Enja. You must input the whole sequence in the same direction you started it.
Behold, the dopamine dispenser, and probably the reason you are playing this character in the first place. If landed, this can deal up to 40% of the opponent's health, but the problem is landing it. You have to hit the exact middle of your opponent in order to go into the last hit, as shown on the second picture. If you fail, you will slowly fall and enter a fully counter-hittable slump that you cannot action out of until the animation is over, as shown in the 3rd image. The slump animation takes a while, enough that your opponent has enough time to circle step/jump behind you to get a full backhit combo. Gambling with this move can either save you or kill you, as it is one of the most punishable moves in the game.

Doesn't use any resources and doesn't take you out of Rage when properly landed.
If 236C was a dopamine dispenser, then this move is an entire factory of dopamine creation. Imagine 236C, but instead of dealing 40% of your opponent's health, you deal 60%. You still have to hit the opponent in the middle, and the recovery on the slump is even WORSE than before, but the reward for landing this can be entirely game-changing and round-ending, for you or your opponent.

Can reflect projectiles if timed properly. Due to the long startup of this move, however, makes it only a gimmick as the opponent can easily react to it and punish.
A delayed heavy slash similar to Haohmaru's 632146AB, but it lunges forward and causes a wallbounce on hit. Useful againt rolls after 3D/66D as this catches short rolls and long rolls usually can't punish in time.

Cancellable early with ABCD, but Enja will still fall into a slump for a while, though not nearly as bad as 236C's.
Enja's WFT has been buffed with faster startup, allowing it to combo from more starters whilst still being useful as an anti-air with it's upper body invincibility. To not look the same as Kazuki's WFT in this game, it uses sprites from his Overkill in V Special.

Both
A more damaging version of 623D with a unique animation if the first couple hits catch the opponent. If the catch whiffs, you'll land the last kick and deal lower, but still decent damage. Same horizontal issues with 623D also apply to this move.

236A can always be followed up with by the full rekka sequence.
Standard Combos
5D/66B > 623D - Only moves which combo into 623D normally.
5B/n5B/2B/2C > 236A/236AB - Basic combos. Starters from the combo above will also work.
6B, 66B > 236A - Overhead combo. Opponent must be hit crouching in order to work. Difficult on regular hit, but much easier to perform on counter hit.
6B, 5C/66C/66D/236AB - Counter hit links from overhead. WFT must be done from a microdash in order to work midscreen.
6B, 5D > 623D - Corner only overhead combo. Opponent must be hit crouching in order to work. Much easier to perform on counter hit.
6D, n5B/n5C/623D/236AB - Notable links from regular 6D.
6D, 5C/2C - Links from counter hit 6D. 2C is preferred because it combos into 236A, but it will whiff if you aren't close enough.
2C/jC > 41236C - Requires a counter hit either way, but jC will deephit against a crouching opponent.
Continuous Slash (IV)
A+B BBC > 623D/236AB - Basic CS 2 combo that leads into kicks or WFT.
A+B AABBCCC - Not usually worth noting, but Enja's very high Rage retention means that if he lands this he gets Raged instantly. None of these hits are special cancellable.
6B/6D, A+B BBC > 623D/236AB - Overhead/low combo leading into kicks/WFT. One of his best sources of reliable and consistent damage that isn't dependent on rekka or counter hit jC. 6D > A+B works anywhere but you will have to do a microdash if 6D lands at it's max range. For 6B > A+B to work midscreen you have to do a microdash, but it will work in the corner without having to do one.
