'''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 a playable hero in ''[[Deadlock]]'', available since the start of the [[Early Development Build]].

'''A FATE'S TALE:'''


{{AbilitySection
Paradox. An artifact of time, and the name of a notorius 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.
| hero_name  = Paradox
| ability_num = 3
| notes      =
* The charge-up happens over {{DataProp|Kinetic Carbine|MaxChargeDuration}}s.
* 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]].
* Carbine is affected by [[Disarm]].
* Shooting objectives with Carbine displays "Too far" even in close range. This is a visual bug, the damage still takes place.
| interactions =
{{AbilityInteraction | interaction = Ability Duration | state = partial | text =
* The Time-Stop for the target and the full charge hold duration get extended.
* The {{DataProp|Kinetic Carbine|MaxChargeDuration}}s charging-up duration does '''not''' get extended.

{{AbilitySection
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.}}
| hero_name  = Paradox
| ability_num = 4
| notes      =
* 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.
| interactions =
{{AbilityInteraction | interaction = Indomitable | text =
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.

== Kinetic Carbine Item Interactions ==
- {{AbilityIcon|Ability=Kinetic Carbine|Size=20}} '''Kinetic Carbine''' Speed Duration: 4s → <u>3.5s</u>.


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.
- {{AbilityIcon|Ability=Kinetic Carbine|Size=20}} '''Kinetic Carbine''' No longer affects channels, cast times or things like Lash's {{AbilityIcon|Ability=Death Slam|Size=20|Hero=Lash}} '''[[Lash|Death Slam]]'''.

- {{AbilityIcon|Ability=Kinetic Carbine|Size=20}} '''Kinetic Carbine''' T2 CD Reduction: -8s → <u>-10s</u>.


'''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.
- {{AbilityIcon|Ability=Time Wall|Size=20}} '''Time Wall''' T3 Silence duration Reduced: 3.5s → <u>3s</u>


'''Spirit Power''' items do not affect Carbine in anyway since it scales only off weapon damage.

|-
|Update: August 01, 2024
| - Fixed {{AbilityIcon|Ability=Paradox|Size=20}} '''Paradox Swap''' Sometimes putting players behind walls.

=== On-shot Items ===
- Fixed {{AbilityIcon|Ability=Time Wall|Size=20}} '''Time Wall''' Projectiles and bullets being stuck in the wall for its full duration instead of for the shorter time stop duration.

== Trivia ==
== Trivia ==
* Paradox was named '''Chrono''' in ''[[Neon Prime]]''.
* In the game files, Paradox is referred to as ''Chrono''. This is likely an earlier name.
* Paradox is voiced by Elle Newlands, who also voiced [https://apexlegends.wiki.gg/wiki/Horizon Horizon] in ''Apex Legends''. Both characters are Scottish and use technology of spacetime manipulation.
* Paradox wears a [[wikipedia:Blue_rose|blue rose]] in her lapel, which do not exist in nature, and are only possible through genetic modification. In art, blue roses are a symbol for mystery and the unattainable.
** This may also be a reference to the [https://twinpeaks.fandom.com/wiki/Blue_Rose Blue Rose Task Force] in the television series ''[[wikipedia:Twin_Peaks|Twin Peaks]]'', which is tasked with solving impossible crimes, as well as a notable scene in the movie ''[[wikipedia:Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me|Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me]]'' in which a character wears a blue rose on her lapel.
* "Scheming in the Hideout" is displayed as one's status in the in-game Friends List when playing as Paradox in the [[Hideout]].
