Paradox is a tough character that picks engagements by forcing fights and punishing poor positioning with Paradoxical Swap.

This build goes for high uptime and damage on Kinetic Carbine and forcing out of position players into harm's way. Paradox has a very strong early game to mid game and can snowball the game in her favor.

Early Game

Buy Headshot Booster first for increased headshot damage and lane pressure.
Get Backstabber for spirit damage over time and negative bullet resistance.
Pick up Mystic Shot with Cold Front for strong early burst damage.
Add Extra Health for more survivability or Healing Rite is optional if you need more sustain.
