Paradox

NEW Paradox (11/07 UPDATED)

Updated version from the November 7th patch. Early to say, but patch basically makes her less OP, basically. Ultimately, it still remains a low cooldown build with a gun lean. This will make Kinetic Carabine more powerful -- Better value in Early and Mid Game. Her late game was already bad, but now worse with the Time Wall nerf. HOWEVER, patch rewards safe kills more, which she is excellent at. GL!
