How Paradox beats Kelvin
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 Kelvin

- 01Bait out Frozen Shelter before you use your big ultimate; the dome blocks line of sight.
