I

Headshot Booster

head hurt

II

Weakening Headshot

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

Headhunter

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

I

Sprint Boots

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

I

Extra Stamina

Feels good, and helps reach your 4800 green spike.

III

Fortitude

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

III

Veil Walker

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

III

Active

Cultist Sacrifice

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

Hollow Point

Shred and huge damage. Great power spike.

III

Stamina Mastery

"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

Enduring Speed

more run fast

II

Bullet Resist Shredder

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

III

Superior Cooldown

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

III

Spirit Resilience

You're melting to spirit

III

Active

Dispel Magic

Cleanse debuffs

III

Counterspell

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

IV

Spellbreaker

Lash is one shotting you

IV

Crippling Headshot

Big papa shred, and healing reduction.

III

Active

Warp Stone

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

IV

Transcendent Cooldown

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

IV

Active

Cursed Relic

Amazing item for shutting down enemy carries.

IV

Glass Cannon

Big damage

I

Active

Rusted Barrel

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

II

Active

Slowing Hex

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

III

Active

Silence Wave

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

III

Active

Knockdown

Anti flyer, also canceling sven, lash, beepboop ults

III

Active

Disarming Hex

don't shooting please

II

Mystic Shot

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

II

Long Range

Highest dps of all 1600 options

II

Backstabber

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

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

III

Active

Alchemical Fire

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

II

Battle Vest

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

II

Enchanter's Emblem

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

II

Healbane

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

Cheat Death

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

IV

Active

Divine Barrier

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

Active

Ethereal Shift

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.
