Hero	Context	Audio
Abrams	Kill	Took out Paradox.
		Stopped Paradox.
		Time thief's dead.
		You weren't a threat. Just a nuisance.
		You're clever, lady. But not as clever as you think you are.
	Killed post-swap	Your little trick didn' work!
		Gotta try better than that, Paradox.
		You really think your little party trick would make a difference?!
Apollo	Kill	Paradox's antics have come to an end.
		The time thief is down.
		She thought she was untouchable... she was wrong.
		Paradox, you are all mystique. No talent.
		You're nothing more than a vandal that fancies herself a revolutionary.
	Killed post-swap	You never should've tried to duel me, Paradox!
		Cute trick.
		That was never going to be enough, Paradox.
Bebop	Kill	The Time Thief is down!
		We don't need to worry about Paradox for a while!
		That could have gone worse.
		Paradox, you're not on my level!
		You've never fought someone like me, Paradox!
Billy	Kill	Time thief? Please?
		I hope you choke on your dumb ascot.
		I'll leave the blue flower on your headstone.
		What a snob.
		Paradox ain't a woman of the people, she's just somebody snooty in a mask.
	Killed post-swap	You ain't special, Paradox.
		Gotta try harder than that, Paradox!
		That's the best you got? Swappin' places?
Calico	Kill	Oh, I've always wanted to go toe-to-toe with Paradox.
		Love your museums, by the way.
		I was hoping our paths would never cross, Paradox.
		Next time, just stay out of my wayǃ
		You shouldn't have provoked me, Paradox.
	Killed post-swap	That was your big plan?
		You need to do better, Paradox.
		[Chuckle] Paradox thought she was sooo smart.
Celeste	Kill	Took out Paradox.
		The time thief won't be buggin' us for a while.
		Lady, can you just stay out of my hair for once in your damn life?
		Sick of those assholes trying to steal my horn...

	Killed post-swap	Can't do better than that, Paradox?!
		All ya did was buy a little time, lady.
		You're not better than me, Paradox!
The Doorman	Kill	Paradox has been defeated.
		The time thief won't be bothering us.
		Tsk tsk tsk, Paradox, when are you going to learn?
		I wouldn't let you take a coaster from the Baroness's lounge, what makes you think I'll let you finish the ritual?
		You may be clever, Paradox, but in the end, you're only human.
	Killed post-swap	You have to try harder than that, Paradox!
		You're not half as clever as you think you are, Paradox!
		You made a grave mistake, Paradox!
	Hotel Guest Taunt	I know what you’re thinking, Paradox. Sadly there are no tchotchkes for you to take as a souvenir from your time at The Baroness. Just the memory of an unforgettable experience.
	Hotel Guest Taunt (short)	What will the Paradox council think when you fail in truly spectacular fashion?
Drifter	Kill	She thought she was on top, didn't she?
		I love it when they think they are clever.
		Paradox, you can do better than that!
		I can't wait to find more of her little friends.
		There's no escapin' me, Paradox.
Dynamo	Kill	Stopped Paradox!
		Took care o' the time thief!
		Kids these days...
		Close call...
		She made me work for that.
	Killed post-swap	Well, you tried, Paradox.
		Effort isn't enough, Paradox.
		And you thought you had the upper hand!
Graves	Kill	You try too hard, Paradox.
		Probably not welcome at the next pop-up museum, am I?
		You're not bad, Paradox... but not bad's not enough.
		A shame we couldn't work things out, Paradox...
		I really want to like her, but she's making it hard!
	Killed post-swap	Nice try, Paradox.
		That's the only trick you got, Paradox?
		Takes more than that, Paradox.

Haze	Kill	All style, no substance.

		It'll take a lot more than that, Paradox!
		This isn't over yet, Paradox!
Kelvin	Kill	I stopped the time thief.
		Paradox is no longer a threat.
		We need not worry about Paradox.
		You're clever, Paradox, but you're not better than me.
		Almost had me, Paradox.
	Killed post-swap	You're not as smart as you think, Paradox.
		I've been put in worse death traps.
		You have to be faster if you want to catch me, Paradox!
Lady Geist	Kill	First my husband, now me. When will Paradox stay out of my life?
		I've looked forward to this for quite some time.
		You thought you were untouchable, didn't you, Paradox?
		I've waited fifty years for this.
		Your organization will crumble.
	Killed post-swap	She thought she was so clever...
		Your tricks weren't enough.
		You didn't really think that would work, did you?
	Steals Rejuvenator	That little thief did it again.
		Paradox!
		Right from under our noses!
Lash	Kill	Took down little miss fishbowl head.
		Yeah, Paradox won't be bothering us for a while.
		Paradox. Pfft.
		I *don't* get the big deal.
		Time thief's down!
McGinnis	Kill	And you thought you were so clever...
		Maybe Paradox will stop tryna raid my lab.
		Paradox, come at me again and see what happens.
		You learned you lesson, Paradox?
		Stay away from me.
Mina	Kill	Handled Paradox.
		You know, there was a time when Paradox was actually relevant.
		She thought she was so smart.
		Hey! I killed the time thief.
		I made that look easy!
	Killed post-swap	You're pathetic, Paradox.
		That's the best you got, Paradox?
		Thought she'd be harder to kill than that.
Mirage	Kill	Nashala won't end up in one of your museums, Paradox.

	Steals Rejuvenator	She stole the Rejuvenator.
		Paradox stole our Rejuvenator!
		Damn you, Paradox!
Mo & Krill	Kill	We took out Paradox!
		She was a clever one, but clever only gets you so far.
		She made some questionable life decisions.
		Be on guard, Momo. She'll be back.
		Oh, she's not going to be happy about that.
	Killed post-swap	Good try, Paradox.
		You'll have to do better than that, Paradox.
		You thought you had an advantage, didn't you?
Paige	Kill	I bet that lady stole some really good books.
		Took down Paradox!
		You know, they say never judge a book by its cover, but... You are running around in a trench coat, and a mask, and shooting at people, so I think it's pretty safe to make assumptions... You look great, though!
		Stopped the time thief!
		She was a tricky one!
Pocket	Kill	I took out Paradox!
		You can dress up however you want but at the end of the day, you're just another rich asshole.

		We've been robbed by Paradox!
		Paradox will answer for this!
	Ping (see)	Ahhh, so the time thief has made her appearance...
Shiv	Kill	Time thief is dead.
		Paradox has been handled.
		That was a wily one.
		Stupid time wall.
		What a nuisance.
Silver	Kill	Get out of my way, Paradox.
		You need to pick a better hobby, Paradox. Fightin' ain't it.

		Have fun explainin' that to your friends in your little social club.
		Shut her smug ass up.
	Killed post-swap	Nice try, lady.
		Cute tricks aren't gonna get it done, Paradox.
		This isn't a game, Paradox.
Venator	Kill	Paradox will regret coming here.
		I'm not interested in your games, Paradox.
		I stopped the time thief.

		Paradox got what she deserved.
		Your delusions of grandeur fall short, Paradox.
Victor	Kill	Took down Paradox.

		She won't bring me out of the sky!
Viscous	Kill	I took out Paradox!
		She's dead.
		She's clever, but now she's clever and dead.
		I stopped Paradox! Yay!
		That should buy us some time.
	Killed post-swap	You thought you were clever, didn't you?
		Nice try.
		Not today.
Vyper	Kill	Stopped the time thief!
		Paradox is outta commission!
		Yeah, won't be seeing Paradox for a while.
		Gotta say, she really makes the coat work.
		Okay, maybe next time, you guys shouldn't kick me out of the Paradox Museum!
Warden	Kill	To think I was worried about the Time Thief...
		All your power... And you squander it on petty nonsense.
		Paradox, if you applied yourself you might actually be dangerous.
		Paradox... You mascarade as having a code, when really you are driven by nothing but ego!
		Pride will only get you so far, Paradox.
	Killed post-swap	Reposition me all you like; the result is the same!
		Your little time tricks were never gonna be enough!
		You think you had the advantage there, Paradox?!
Wraith	Kill	Check out Paradox.
		Dealt with the time thief.
		Nice try, lady.
		Paradox won't be bothering us for a while.
		Should've stayed out of my way, Paradox.
	Killed post-swap	You didn't really think that would get it done, did ya?!
		You don't got what it takes, Paradox.
		Cute trick, next time: try one that works.
Yamato	Kill	(I don't play games, Paradox.)
