Description

Noob friendly, but has alot of flexability. Gun is in its best place since the large nerf in Novemeber. Build is close to what it was at the time. Bomb is still as good as it was the previous patch, and can certainly be built into as well. Best of luck popping heads gents <3
Edit 4/30: Oh no; Trophey is good again. "FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

#Citadel_HeroBuilds_LateGame

No set order | Consider util items & bottom row subs

Deadlock Item

III

Superior Cooldown

do more stuff more often. Although we're building into gun damage, swap is still your #1 utility

Deadlock Item

IV

Glass Cannon

Big damage. Even if you die, losing stacks doesn't matter much. Burst guns don't benefit too much from fire rate.

Deadlock Item

IV

Crippling Headshot

Huge shred and anti-heal. | IMO one of the best items on Paradox | I buy 99% of games.

Deadlock Item

IV

Siphon Bullets

Pretty sweet. If you buy early your HP can be wild by end game

Deadlock Item

III

Spirit Resilience

You're melting to spirit

Deadlock Item

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Knockdown

Anti flyer, also canceling sven, lash, beepboop ults | Also very good for setting up picks

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Silence Wave

I have been getting ALOT of value from this item | Very good against Victor, Mina, Pocket, and all other casters | Procs indomitable for free. Use wave, so then you're free to swap.

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Focus Lens

point and click silence | Baby curse that grants more damage instead of cucking your own

Consider the following

Subs for core items, as well as some extra late game buys | Can pivot to bomb after core items

Deadlock Item

II

Stalker

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

Deadlock Item

II

Slowing Bullets

Slowing bullets proc feels really bad to play against. Can help chase all game | ALOT of Paradox players will buy this as their first 1600, personal preference I guess

Deadlock Item

II

Mystic Shot

Decent poke in lane, falls off very hard | IF you get a shit ton of spirit it *CAN* scale, but raw spirit isn't something pardox typically buys.

Deadlock Item

III

Toxic Bullets

*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

Deadlock Item

II

Battle Vest

*Can be a sub for Enduring Speed* | Vest has many perks if you need some resist | Great gun stats + regen, which paradox lacks at the moment. Can swap for Enduring speed.

Deadlock Item

II

Enchanter's Emblem

*Can be a sub for Enduring Speed* | great early resist | same upsides as vest, but for spirit. One of the few items that give cdr.

Deadlock Item

III

Warp Stone

Get out of many situations, plus bullet resist. You already should have ALOT of escape, but this can be sprinkled on the top.

Deadlock Item

III

Greater Expansion

*IF YOU'RE PIVOTING BOMB MAX BOMB AFTER FIRST TWO POINTS IN SWAP* | bigger everything | Can be a sub for Sup Cooldown, but who's doing that

Deadlock Item

III

Superior Duration

*IF YOU'RE PIVOTING BOMB MAX BOMB AFTER FIRST TWO POINTS IN SWAP* | longer everything | Can be good for longer silence on your wall, more ticks on bomba, and adds tiem to your items.

Deadlock Item

III

Weighted Shots

Good damage and debuff resist, but makes you slow :(

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Cultist Sacrifice

Paradox benifits from all stats. Spawning in extra souls is always nice as well. Can build as first 3200 @ 8min

*IF YOU'RE PIVOTING BOMB MAX BOMB AFTER FIRST TWO POINTS IN SWAP* | #1 bomb build item | Bombs continue to stack your damage, and eachothers damage | Tossing two bombs into mid pit can melt entire tea

Deadlock Item

Transcendent Cooldown

Even more cooldown. Cn skip if you aren't buying many actives. 3200 for 5% cdr is not a good investment.
