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
First buy Basic Magazine, to increase damage and mag size which allows for stealing and confirming more souls.
Then buying High-Velocity Mag for an increase in poke damage.
Then we buy Extra Regen and Extra Health to sustain in the lane
Next item to buy is Sprint Boots to stack up more early game damage and increase movement speed.
The final items to buy in the laning phase are Mystic Burst and Mystic Reach which allow you to deal more damage with Kinetic Carbine and get 15% ability range on your Paradoxical Swap.
Mid Game
First buy Mystic Shot to increase bullet damage and spirit power and then Bullet Resist Shredder to decrease any bullet resistance after hitting an enemy with Kinetic Carbine.
The next 2 items are the core of Paradox's kit: Improved Cooldown and Warp Stone, granting a huge power spike and movement ability.
After the power spike, Bullet Armor is a requirement to have more resists and a tiny increase in damage. Pair it with Healbane to make spirit damage apply healing reduction and upon kill restore 350 health.
Slowing Hex is also a good option to limit heroes with alot of mobility and makes it easier to secure kills.
Late Game
Improving your cooldown on Kinetic Carbine with Superior Cooldown gives more uptime for picking engagements and forcing fights.
At this point in a game Paradox damage starts to fall behind, so Improved Burst and makes up for that.
The last items in the late game are Improved Bullet Armor and Fortitudewhich now increase survivability while swapping to counter enemy scaling.
Situational and Luxury Items
During the mid to late game alot of teamfights are initiated by Paradoxical Swap and for increased survivability Diviner's Kevlar but for more shutdown potential Curse.
