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. Place Spectral Assistant near cover so you can swap back to it. Aim Vexing Bolt without leaving yourself exposed.

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. Place Spectral Assistant near a safer position before the fight so swapping to it gives you a useful exit.

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 Rabbit Hex on Paradox before her next ability cast, then follow with Vexing Bolt. The hex does not interrupt an ability already running.
