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. Use Fire Scarabs before extending a shooting exchange, and take cover between opportunities to add Djinn’s Marks. Existing marks still damage their target when consumed or expired.

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 Dust Devil available to move toward cover rather than spending it only to extend the 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. Hit Paradox with Fire Scarabs to reduce their damage, then follow with gunfire from cover.
