How Paradox beats Billy

Marksman vs Brawler

Keep the range. Stay behind troopers, kite backwards, and save your escape for their gap-closer.

Your game plan as Paradox

A tactician who swaps you into her team.

Lane
Pulse Grenade slows and stacks damage. Kinetic Carbine is a long-range Time-Stop.
Mid game
Time Wall stops enemy bullets, so fight behind it.
Late game
Paradoxical Swap pulls a target into your team’s range. Swap the enemy carry, then burst.

How to beat Billy

A punk with a bat who turns every melee hit into ammo and every fight into a brawl.

  • 01Keep him off you; Billy wants melee range for everything.
  • 02Don’t pull against Chain Gang; straining the chain slows you hard.
  • 03Bait Rising Ram, then fight while it’s on full cooldown.
