| '''Paradox''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. She wields time manipulation with potent disruption and slowing abilities. With a charged '''[[Paradox#Kinetic Carbine|Kinetic Carbine]]''', she can threaten her enemies at any range while damaging and slowing them with thrown '''[[Paradox#Pulse Grenade|Pulse Grenade]]s''' and well-placed '''[[Paradox#Time Wall|Time Wall]]s'''. At just the right moment, Paradox can activate her '''[[Paradox#Paradoxical Swap|Paradoxical Swap]]''' to change places with her target, dropping them into a dangerous situation amongst her team. | | |

| Paradox is both the name of this Hero and the name of their Thieves' Guild, specializing in stealing the untouchable and breaking into ultra-secure facilities. Their motives are unclear, except for a certain level of delight that its members seem to take in snubbing the world's biggest corporations and governments. | | Paradox is both the name of this Hero and the name of their Thieves' Guild, specializing in stealing the untouchable and breaking into ultra-secure facilities.

| |
| * Like the damage, the duration of Time-Stop for the target also scales with charge time, with minimum being {{DataProp|Kinetic Carbine|MinSlowDuration}}s.
| |
| * Carbine's listed damage [[scaling]] is based on [[Weapon Damage]] of a full burst shot.
| |
| * Despite saying "Move Speed is increased while charging", the bonus is only given after Carbine is fully charged.
| |
| * Move Speed bonus is a unique buff that applies a multiplicative modifier to all of Paradox's animations. This has notable consequences and allows advanced movement techniques, described on [[Paradox/Movement#Kinetic_Carbine|Movement Page]].
| |
| * Carbine shot is immune to [[Bullet Evasion]].
| |

| | notes =
| | | ability_num=4 |
| * Paradoxical Swap does not interrupt channeled casts like {{HeroIcon|Dynamo}}'s {{AbilityIcon|Singularity}}.
| |
| * The position swap lasts ~1.25s. Neither Paradox nor her target(s) are able to perform any actions during this time.
| |
| * Once connected, the swap cannot be interrupted, ignores any walls, and will swap targets regardless of distance.
| |
| * The swap positions are based on when the ability connects. (For example, if {{HeroIcon|Sinclair}} copies swap with {{AbilityIcon|Audience Participation}} and teleports with {{AbilityIcon|Spectral Assistant}} before the swap connects, the target will swap to Sinclair's post-teleport position.)
| |
| * Both Paradox and her target(s) are vulnerable to damage during the swap.
| |
| * Swap damage is applied after the swap ends. T1 barrier is activated when the swap begins.
| |
| * The T3 upgrade also unlocks an Alternate Cast that lets the player swap a single target.

| |
| Paradoxical Swap triggers {{ItemIcon|Indomitable}} and {{ItemIcon|Cloak of Opportunity}}, cleansing the effect, so neither Paradox nor the target move. The projectile continues even if it gets cleansed and will still swap if it hits another enemy along its path.
| |
| | |
| | |
| After T3, if the projectile hits a target that cleanses Paradoxical Swap but another enemy is within the swap area of effect, the following happens:
| |
| * The original target of Paradoxical Swap doesn't move.
| |
| * Any other nearby targets affected by the swap area of effect will be swapped.

|
| Due to unique nature of the ability (charging a [[Weapon Damage|weapon damage]] into a single shot of [[Spirit Damage|spirit damage]]) {{AbilityIcon|Kinetic Carbine}} has many unique interactions.

|
| |
|
| '''Weapon Damage''' items provide their bonus to Carbine.
| | 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. |
|
| |
|
| '''Conditional Weapon Damage''' items apply their bonuses to Carbine if the condition is satisfied at the moment of the shot. For example, having {{ItemIcon|Point Blank}} will make Carbine use its damage bonus if the shot target is in close range.
| | 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. |
| | | }} |
| '''Spirit Power''' items do not affect Carbine in anyway since it scales only off weapon damage.
| |
| | |
| === Resist Reduction Items ===
| |
| | |
| '''Bullet resist reduction''' items do '''not''' affect Carbine's damage.
| |
| | |
| '''Spirit resist reduction''' items affect Carbine's damage.

| | Paradox wants to lead the Paradox guild.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Amber Hand|file=Patron male ally chrono start 01.mp3|transcription=You'll show the other members of Paradox why you are fit to lead. Summon me.}}</ref> |
|
| |
|
| * Items that apply their effects with Kinetic Carbine:
| | == Character interactions == |
| ** {{ItemIcon|Restorative Shot}}.
| |
| ** {{ItemIcon|Mystic Shot}}.
| |
| ** {{ItemIcon|Weakening Headshot}} and {{ItemIcon|Crippling Headshot}}. Crippling Headshot's Spirit Resist reduction applies after the damage.
| |
| ** {{ItemIcon|Hollow Point}}'s bullet resist debuff.
| |
| * Items that do '''not''' apply their effects with Kinetic Carbine:
| |
| ** {{ItemIcon|Headshot Booster}} and {{ItemIcon|Headhunter}}.
| |
| ** {{ItemIcon|Spirit Shredder Bullets}} and {{ItemIcon|Spirit Rend}}.
| |
| ** {{ItemIcon|Point Blank}} slow.
| |
| ** {{ItemIcon|Tesla Bullets}} and {{ItemIcon|Capacitor}}.
| |
| ** {{ItemIcon|Armor Piercing Rounds}}' pierce.
| |
| ** {{ItemIcon|Lucky Shot}}'s extra damage.
| |
| ** {{ItemIcon|Ricochet}}'s ricochet.
| |
| ** {{ItemIcon|Silencer}}'s spirit damage reduction.
| |
| ** {{ItemIcon|Siphon Bullets}}' health steal.
| |
| ** Buildup items like {{ItemIcon|Toxic Bullets}}.
| |
| * {{ItemIcon|Split Shot}} allows Paradox to fire 5 Carbine shots at once. However, it will only affect the first enemy hit.
| |
| * {{ItemIcon|Express Shot}} gives the smaller "Secondary Fire Weapon Damage" bonus to Carbine shot and immediately shoots a regular bullet with the bigger "Weapon Damage" bonus.

| === On-spirit-damage items ===
| | *[[Kelvin]] is one of Paradox's targets.<ref>[[Paradox/Quotes#Conversations|Paradox and Kelvin conversation]] - Paradox: ''"Goes to say we definitely planned on robbing you during the ritual, but my colleague may or may not have broken into your home yet."''</ref> |

| Any items that trigger on spirit damage work with Carbine. For example, a single shot of carbine can trigger {{ItemIcon|Tankbuster}}, {{ItemIcon|Spirit Burn}} and {{ItemIcon|Mystic Slow}}.
| | * [[Seven]] wants to commission Paradox for a job.<ref>[[Paradox/Quotes#Conversations|Paradox and Seven conversation]] - Seven: ''"Does Paradox take commisions?"''</ref> |
