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. Charge Power Slash beside cover. Follow with Flying Slash when your partner can help, saving stamina for the way out.

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.

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 Power Slash from a safe position before closing on Paradox. Save Shadow Transformation for a fight your team can support.
