Full matchup plan

Early game · first 8 minutes

Leave Pulse Grenade’s growing area and use cover against Kinetic Carbine. Avoid shooting through Time Wall, which stops your bullets and projectiles. Keep cover between yourself and Paradox when she can use Paradoxical Swap. Hit the enemy hero with Leaping Slash to recover health, then leave before their teammate can focus you.

Mid game · Walkers

Attack around Time Wall rather than through it. Keep a route back to teammates if Paradoxical Swap moves you into her position. Upgraded Time Wall can silence you as you cross it. Keep Return to Shadows available to get back toward your team instead of spending it to extend an unsupported chase.

Late game · Patron

Keep enough space that an upgraded Paradoxical Swap cannot move several allies. If she swaps you into her team, reach cover before attacking. Protect the displaced ally while pressuring Paradox if she has arrived within reach. Use Leaping Slash on Paradox once you can reach her safely, keeping Return to Shadows for the enemy’s response.
