Paradox
Manipulates Space and Time

Manipulating time lets Paradox outpace an enemy in one on one combat. She thrives by subjecting her enemies to timely swaps into a waiting pulse grenade, her wall, or into the middle of her teammates.

Description

Revolving around Pulse Grenade, you dive into the enemy team throwing 2 Pulse Grenades, and making them stay in the AoE Mayhem. Also extremely good at jungle.
A fairly trappy and tricky Paradox style of play.
NEW UPDATE = updated build

Enduring Speed

Alternative to more stamina, with this. You can use carbine to move fast and parkour faster and get to teamfights. Combined well with Surge of Power

Core

T2 Camps die with Lv3 Pulse at mustic vuln. Can take on T2.5 camps. T3 die with Echo Shard fairly Easily.

Deadlock Item

Deadlock Item

IV

Crushing Fists

If you want to hammer in on the light and heavy melee damage.

Alternate Activatables

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Unstoppable

If you experience getting countered, such as being silenced and such on a team fight.

Deadlock Item

II

Active

Cold Front

This and then Arctic Blast will severly slow opponents down.

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Vortex Web

Amazing item to get if you can!!!

Dont forget to use pulses on objectives. Does big damage there too.

When placing pulses, use Vortex and/or Swap to keep them in the pulse

Having people in tight quarters, getting chased into one is ideal. Makes you feel like paradox. 2 Pulses + Arctic with a wall in tight quarters is death for them.

2 pulses + AlchFire will ensure you do great big damage. The -bullet resist items can grant you up to like 700 heavy melee damage (350 lights) on top of damage amp.

Nice, you scrolled down.

When fighting a walker, Save Carbine and Fleetfoot. Jump in, double pulse and Alchemical fire. And do some weapon fire. Then, charge carbine and start running with fleetfoot. Place a wall as you are going through a doorway. Do this often. Circle the walker when you do make the approach and bait out one AOE bash.

Instead of Boots and Enduring Speed, try getting Stamina Mastery AND Arcane Surge. Jump+DiagonalDashx2+Slide several times for speed.
