Abilities

  • Pulse Grenade

    Throw a grenade that begins pulsing when it lands. Each pulse expands the radius and applies spirit damage, time slow, and stacking increased damage for Paradox against the victim.

  • Time Wall

    Create a time warping wall that stops time for all enemy projectiles and bullets that touch it and increases the speed and damage of friendly bullets. Enemies that touch the wall will be briefly slowed.

  • Kinetic Carbine

    Charge up a powerful shot of time energy, dealing spirit damage and applying a Time-Stop to enemies hit. The damage dealt increases with weapon damage. Move speed is increased while charging. While in the air and charging, to timeslow your movement.

  • Paradoxical Swap

    Fire a projectile that swaps your position with the target enemy hero.

About the hero

Paradox. An artifact of time, and the name of a notorious thieves' guild... one that prides themselves on constructing elaborate heists that target the most untouchable of individuals and institutions. What does Paradox do with the countless artifacts, state secrets, and celebrity paternity tests that they have stolen? Put it on display at pop-up museums, so that they can show the world that no one is out of Paradox's reach.<br><br>Shrouded in mystery, each member of Paradox dons a mask and takes on the organization's name. They are everywhere. They are nowhere. And if they want something, they are inevitable.

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.
