I

Kopfschuss-Verstärker

head hurt

II

Schwächender Kopfschuss

What I've been using for my first 1600 buy as of recent. Can also swap for Mystic shot, long range, or backstabber. Depends on matchup.

III

Kopfjäger

Good damage + heals. Can be swapped out for Cultist, Toxic Bullets, or Alchemical Fire.

I

Sprintstiefel

speed + regen (you don't have much anymore)

I

Zusätzliche Ausdauer

Feels good, and helps reach your 4800 green spike.

III

Seelenkraft

***THIS OR VEIL WALKER*** This is my typical go to for roaming.

III

Mystischer Schleier

***THIS OR FORTITUDE*** Can be nice to set up pics. Also can help with general roaming / escapes.

III

Aktiv

Kultopfer

Good stats, and can eventually pay for itself. Helps with jungling. This item is not required, but will be purchased most games. You could also rush this as your first 3200, but I prefer other options

III

Hohlspitz-Kugeln

Shred and huge damage. Great power spike.

III

Meisterhafte Ausdauer

"can" skip, but I find is essiential to get out of situations. Instant air dash while carbine is ticking, and tap ADS to do the broken tech.

II

Stiefel des Dauerläufers

more run fast

II

Reduzierte Kugelresistenz

Shred to get your 4.8k spike. Can be swapped for slowing hex

III

Überlegene Abklingzeit

Your cooldowns are already low asf, but even more swaps now.

III

Verstärkte Magierüstung

You're melting to spirit

III

Aktiv

Schwächungs­entferner

Cleanse debuffs

III

Gegenzauber

Make lash hate you, dodge ults and yama slash for max value

IV

Zauberbrecher

Lash is one shotting you

IV

Verkrüppelnder Kopfschuss

Big papa shred, and healing reduction.

III

Aktiv

Teleport-Stein

Good for getting out after swap, bullet resiust is nice as well

IV

Transzendente Abklingzeit

Buy alot of the time, especially if you have multiple actives.

IV

Aktiv

Fluch

Amazing item for shutting down enemy carries.

IV

Glaskanone

Big damage

I

Aktiv

Rostiger Lauf

good against "pew pew" characters in lane, also lowers their bullet resist.

II

Aktiv

Fluch der Langsamkeit

Lock down people after swap. If 3 or more players on their team get cucked by hex, it is a must buy.

III

Aktiv

Welle der Verstummung

Good into casters. Swap into silence wall, then refresh silence with wave. Very good against Victor, Mina, Pocket, and all other casters.

III

Aktiv

Niederschlag

Anti flyer, also canceling sven, lash, beepboop ults

III

Aktiv

Fluch der Entwaffnung

don't shooting please

II

Mystische Kugel

Good poke in lane, but falls off really hard late game.

II

Zielfernrohr

Highest dps of all 1600 options

II

Verräter-Klinge

*sub for weakening headshot* very good 1600 for lane. pro tip: if an enemy dashes backwars while shooting them, backstaber will proc

III

Giftige Kugeln

*sub for Headhunter or Cultist* Good for chunking down tankie heros, and good anti heal. Got the idea to use it from Leviathan, he is the GOAT

III

Aktiv

Alchemie-Feuer

*sub for headhunter or cultist* Very standard item for paradox. Can be paired with her bomb, and great for shredding objecives/midboss

II

Kampfweste

*great early resist* Vest has many perks if you need some resist. Great gun stats + regen, which paradox lacks at the moment.

II

Wappen des Zauberers

*great early resist* same upsides as vest, but for spirit. One of the few items that give cdr.

II

Heilungsfluch

Anti heal, that heals you on kill. Paradox isn't the best applicator of healbane, but also consider if you use Backstabber, or Toxic you'll be proccing this often.

IV

Unsterblichkeit

Late game survival option. Very underrated IMO. Allows you to take VERY risky rades late game, and have a chance to escape.

IV

Aktiv

Göttliche Barriere

Supportive item, but can also be used selfishly. One of the few things that clear ultimate debuffs in the game *IE affliction, Wraih ult* also gives ability range for your swaps, wall, and bomb.

IV

Aktiv

Ätherischer Schleier

Anoher good get out of jail free card. Amazing if you just need a couple more seconds for warpstone to come off of cooldown to get out of a situation.
