Sniper Mommy [Fully annotated]

[Kinetic Carbine does not have damage fall off, you can easily hit cross map 2k damage time shots.] Kinetic Carbine has very interesting item synergies, this build has all of the ones that work, making it the best and original Paradox one-shot build.

Creator Notes

0 to 15 min

Just poke with 3 whenever its off cooldown, go for a few box runs with the movement speed, and ask your laner to not instantly clear waves if you're not there to get souls. | Always take t1 camps with your bombs, but only take t2 camps a bit later, because trophy collector makes them hard to get early, t3's are only much later when you have maxxed your bombs or 3 can oneshot them. | Roam often, remember to just press 3, double jump near the edge of your lane to fire of a sneaky half-cross map slow, and maybe nag an assist.

Creator Notes

25+ min

By roughly glass cannon your 3 deals about half of anyone's health. When there are no objectives use your speed to zipline to lanes, clear them with 1 and hit a shot with 3 to force someone to back. Play teamfights like a scaredy cat, always far away, shoot 3's and throw bombs, never get too close, or else you will explode.

Creator Notes

1) Never ult to engage, try to use it to juke, going high then jumping off and swapping with them. 2) Altough it doesn't have damage fall-off, Kinetic Carbine doesn't actually have unlimited range, it's just a bit shorter then the range between bridge buffs, and increases slightly once you purchase Sharpshooter or Long Range. 3) You might get flamed for it, but going into the rift territory or midboss pit is very risky, try to poke from afar. 4) NEVER shot you're 3 without fully charging it anymore.

Creator Notes

Try to have fun, its a game after all, dont be sad even if you miss shots, try to find new playstyles, like subbing out compress cooldown for slowing hex to make the shot easier, or switch sharpshooter for point blank and oneshot people whilst hugging them. Paradox is in a really bad state right now, all of us need to try and invent her back into the META, if anyone can think of a brilliant, groundbreaking strategy, its gonna be us.
