I

Explose-tête

head hurt

II

Tirs entêtants

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

Chasseur de têtes

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

I

Bottes de course

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

I

Bonus d'endurance

Feels good, and helps reach your 4800 green spike.

III

Fortitude

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

III

Sentinelle du voile

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

III

Active

Sacrifice rituel

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

Pointe creuse

Shred and huge damage. Great power spike.

III

Maitrise d'endurance

"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

Vitesse persistante

more run fast

II

Balles perforantes

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

III

Récupération supérieure

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

III

Résilience spirituelle

You're melting to spirit

III

Active

Dissipateur de magie

Cleanse debuffs

III

Contresort

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

IV

Brise-magie

Lash is one shotting you

IV

Brise-tête

Big papa shred, and healing reduction.

III

Active

Pierre de distorsion

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

IV

Récupération transcendante

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

IV

Active

Relique maudite

Amazing item for shutting down enemy carries.

IV

Canon de verre

Big damage

I

Active

Canon rouillé

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

II

Active

Malédiction de ralentissement

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

III

Active

Onde de silence

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

III

Active

Coup d'enclume

Anti flyer, also canceling sven, lash, beepboop ults

III

Active

Malédiction désarmante

don't shooting please

II

Tir mystique

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

II

Longue portée

Highest dps of all 1600 options

II

Traitre

*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

III

Active

Pyroalchimie

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

II

Veste de combat

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

II

Emblème enchanteur

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

II

Châtiment curatif

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

Trompe-la-mort

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

IV

Active

Protection divine

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

Refuge céleste

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.
