Paige

Description

An early game assassin gun build that pivots into hard a hard gun carry.

I have annotated a lot to avoid confussion, but if you ever find me ingame then feel free to ask questions!

[IMPORTANT]: With this build, you are suddenly playing a rougelite. Your mistakes will be punished even harder. For this build to work well for you, you need to understand its powerspikes.

Item Build

Lane Phase

Prioritize using your shield to get favorable trades in lane, usually for yourself but don't neglect your partner. L -> R

Deadlock Item

I

Kule o Dużej Szybkości

Deadlock Item

II

Efekt aktywny

Rozdzielający Strzał

Makes your damage unmissable. Buy Spirit* Shielding first if the lane is difficult. With T2 Defend and Fight!, this is your first powerspike. * See [Spirit Shielding]

Deadlock Item

I

Dodatkowa Regeneracja

[OPTIONAL] Buy if lane feels hard.

Deadlock Item

II

Kamizelka Bojowa

If you're going for Cultist Sacrifice, ignore this item. Otherwise, it pairs nicely with Hollow Point later on.

Deadlock Item

II

Wytrwała Szybkość

Speed is your best friend. Paige (ironically) is one of the faster heroes in this game. More speed means that you're able to catch up or run away better than most of the roster.

Deadlock Item

Gibkonogi

This one specifically lets you catch up with people. Also more speed lmao.

#Citadel_HeroBuilds_MidGame

These buys are each major power spikes, try to single out people and burst them.

Deadlock Item

III

Ekspresowy Strzał

This is the grand opal of this build, you can easily nuke low health heroes with this item or cause higher health heroes to run in fear. Though, don't try to fight any solo powerhouses (ex: Drifter).

Nasycenie

Energiczne Przeładowanie

Less reloading = more time dealing damage.

Deadlock Item

III

Amunicja Grzybkująca

Even more damage, even more nuking.

Deadlock Item

III

Ściana Ognia

Even more damage, even more nuking.

Lifesteal

Deadlock Item

II

Wampiryczne Naboje

Ideally you will get at least one item in the next category first, but if you have (almost) every flex slot, then now is fine.

Carry Time

Pivot to hard carrying.

Deadlock Item

Efekt aktywny

Wampiryczny Wybuch

Just frontline, no one's stopping you (assuming your team is fighting with you). Especially use against return fire, as return fire is (un)surprisingly effective against you.

#Citadel_HeroBuilds_LateGame

These are either A) more power, or B) counters to avoid being oblitered off the face of the Earth.

Deadlock Item

III

Kontrczar

Especially good against Wraith, Lash, and Pocket ult, but it's also a good all-rounder counter item. Buy earlier as needed.

Deadlock Item

III

Efekt aktywny

Usuwacz Osłabień

Buy against easy stuns/lockdowns, I often buy this against Warden, Mirage, and Vindicta. Also insta-buy if they're buying Disarming Hex. Buy earlier as needed.

Deadlock Item

III

Efekt aktywny

Kamień Teleportacji

Powerful evasion plus bullet resist.

Deadlock Item

III

Efekt aktywny

Metalowa Skóra

Hard counter to gun, but makes you slower. User discretion is advised, but no damage is no damage.

Deadlock Item

IV

Niszczyciel

Acceptable against any characters that rely on fire rate or big slows. I'd prefer other options personally, but Juggernaut isn't an extra slot in this build so there's that.

Deadlock Item

III

Mistrzowska Wytrzymałość

General survivability item, though I'd strongly advise getting something more specific if the match allows for it.

Deadlock Item

IV

Efekt aktywny

Kolos

It is exceedingly rare that this is a good idea, but it is survivability that makes it harder for your enemies to run from. Also, more damage.

Deadlock Item

IV

Efekt aktywny

Widmowe Uderzenie

This could be funny but I haven't tested it yet. If you're brave, test it out.

Deadlock Item

IV

Rykoszet

Crowd Control go brrrt. That being said, you already deal a lot of damage to crowds. I would advise against it, but your mileage may vary.

Deadlock Item

IV

Nasycenie

Żywe Magnum

I actually don't prioritize Mercurial Magnum as it's pretty bad on Paige compared to other choices (namely: Vampiric Burst). But, it is more fire rate without expending a slot (DMG sucks).

Lane Phase (ALTERNATIVE).

If you want to avoid Battle Vest. I recommend shielding, though.

Deadlock Item

I

Buty Sprintu

Buy these two (Sprint Boots and Monster Rounds) after High-Velocity Rounds.

Deadlock Item

I

Potworne Kule

After this, buy shielding, then Cultist Sacrifice. This maximizes health/health regen without selling items later.

Deadlock Item

III

Efekt aktywny

Ofiara Kultysty

Consider buying this after Express Shot if you think you won't be able to make use of these buffs. Otherwise, full send.

Shielding.

Buy one (or none) as needed.

Deadlock Item

II

Ochrona Spirytualna

Pretty much every character will proc this at some point in lane, but if you think Weapon Shielding/Reactive Barrier would be better, then go for it.
