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. Land Barrage hits from a position that lets you get away; each hero hit increases your damage. Save Flying Cloak for the way back to your team.

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. Launch Flying Cloak toward cover and teleport before your movement is disabled. Keep Enchanter’s Satchel for incoming damage, without letting the cloak expire while you wait inside.

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. Pressure Paradox with Barrage before getting close, then keep Flying Cloak available for a safe exit after your close-range damage.
