Teleport is extremely useful. I assume you only used it on enemies? It can also be used on any allies (so a downed ally about to run out of time that you couldn't reach otherwise can still be saved) as well as the Cryopods and Systems in Defence and Mobile Defense missions, enabling you to get there fast and save them from a swarm if everyone else is bogged down with enemies. It's less about getting into melee range and more about map mobility. Shurikens deal massive damage and don't use any ammo, so it can not only help with ammo consumption, but is great at killing bosses. Bladestorm (as good as it is) also has a VERY long cast time, during which any enemies that aren't being bladestormed could be killing your objective, hitting alarms, locking you in, killing your allies, and you couldn't stop any of it. Shurikens provide an instant high damage button that can pass through several enemies at once, giving him more effectiveness against both masses and smaller groups.
