I

Explose-tête

head hurt, best 800 gun item by far.

III

Chasseur de têtes

Good damage + heals | Can sub for any 3k on bottom row

I

Bottes de course

Core item to build into either Enduring, Trophey, or veil

II

Vitesse persistante

run more fast | Can sub any 1.6k green on bottom row

II

Trophée de chasse

Very good (for now) Buy if you intend to roam alot early, can rush for 1st or 2nd item. GO ROAM

I

Surplus de régénération

Great regen option, stack with sprint boots and run boxes

III

Fortitude

Move speed + Sustain. Great roaming item. can skip, or sub for veil walker

III

Pointe creuse

Big damage spike. We're building into raw gun damage. Can add opening rounds in at this point.

III

Maitrise d'endurance

Learn to IAD, and you'll be very hard to catch | Can be skipped, but

II

Active

Malédiction de ralentissement

Will buy most games | PLZ buy if against Mina, Apollo, Calico, and any other character that heavily relies on movement.

III

Active

Dissipateur de magie

Cleanse "magic"; will buy most games

III

Contresort

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

IV

Brise-magie

Lash is one shotting you

IV

Active

Protection divine

Cleanse pocket ult

III

Récupération supérieure

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

IV

Brise-tête

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

IV

Balles drainantes

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

III

Résilience spirituelle

You're melting to spirit

IV

Inhibiteur

Got nerfed, but still pretty good.

IV

Sourdine

It's silencer; it feels REALLY bad to play against.

III

Active

Malédiction désarmante

don't shooting please | Decent for stopping a carry's damage for 4 seconds in a team fight.

III

Active

Coup d'enclume

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

III

Active

Onde de silence

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.

IV

Active

Lentille focale

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

II

Balles ralentissantes

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

II

Traqueur

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

III

Balles toxiques

*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

II

Veste de combat

*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.

II

Emblème enchanteur

*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.

III

Active

Pierre de distorsion

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

II

Imbue [E]

Prolongation

*IF YOU'RE PIVOTING BOMB MAX BOMB AFTER FIRST TWO POINTS IN SWAP* | + Bomba time

III

Expansion supérieure

*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

IV

Imbue [E]

Active

Éclat d'écho

*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

III

Active

Sacrifice rituel

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

IV

Canon de verre

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

III

Tirs lestés

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

III

Active

Cuir blindé

No die from haze for 5 seconds.

IV

Récupération transcendante

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

IV

Active

Toile tourbillonnante

Good upgrade from slowing hex | Swap their team into your wall/bombs, then vortex web them back in

IV

Parchemin de foudre

can swap whole team, and have them get stunned after as well.
