I love Paradox (488 games played)
After nearly 500 games on Paradox here are some things I've learned:
- Always rush Fortitude. Fortitude is the best item for her. It really fits her cyclical playstyle well. Miss a swap? Just rotate, heal up, and by the time your back to 100% you'll have all your cooldowns again. It also pairs extremely well with Hollow Point Ward which is an insane 500 souls item.
- I rarely ever buy bullet or spirit armor. (If I do it's at like the 40 minute mark which is kinda rare.) I live or die by Warp Stone. The best defense is simply not getting hit.
- She hard counters Abrams (and Shiv) and it's not even remotely close. Especially mid to late game. Healbane, Slowing Bullets, T3 Wall, Mystic Slow. Nothing brings me more joy that ruining the blue guy's fun.
- Hard comm if you can. Paradox benefits a ton from coordinated team play. Swap is an S-Tier ultimate if your teammates follow up and a B-tier ultimate otherwise. I win a ton of games by simply leading my team in comms.
- If MikaelS says anything contrary to what I say he's right lol
Feel free to check out my build, Poopkip Special 3.4. I've iterated on it a ton (on version 3.4 right now). I've tried wacky things like Majestic Leap (doesn't really fit her playstyle all that well). I've tried terrible things like Swapadox (swap oriented build) and Tankadox (lots of green items). You mostly want gun but she does benefit from a balanced build in my opinion.
Paradox mains rise up!
