    800 souls · Fun fact, Paradox Kinetic Carbine shot actually has travel speed, very strange for a literal shot of time energy but eh.

    1,600 souls · Don't sell until giga late game, it's essentially the perfect item for sniping.

  3. Mystic Burst

    800 souls · Early game with these 3 items 3 starts dealing like 200 damage every 15s.// The early game isn't changed too much, but the damage drop reall

  6. Tankbuster

    3,200 souls · Massive 3 damage, try to play around the cooldown, 3's cooldown starts ticking as soon as you start charging it, so you can wait for the ver

  7. Fortitude

    3,200 souls · Veil walker got cooked, so Fortitude is back baby, and even better then before, the healing buff is minimal, but it's still a buff. Gives yo

  8. Compress Cooldown

    1,600 souls · 3333333333 //4.8k spike.

  9. Express Shot

    3,200 souls · Testing has shown that this item outperforms Hollow Point for sniping, because of the large added damage to your shots, but unfortunately Ca

  10. Hollow Point

    3,200 souls · Good damage and the effect procks with carbine, so your target will lose resists and be easier to kill for you or your team, now it's almost

Situational

Optional
  1. Veil Walker

    3,200 souls · For those who have a soft spot for Veil Walker, you can still build it, even if it got decimated by the nerfs, it's still fun.

Late game

#Citadel_HeroBuilds_Late
  1. Stamina Mastery

    3,200 souls · This item is underrated, which is strange, since everyone buys it, but I promise it is absurdly good for keeping space, it will save you far

  2. Mystic Reverb

    6,400 souls · This is literally just 50% more damage, and the aoe will easily deal thousands of damage in teamfights.

  3. Glass Cannon

    6,400 souls · Highest gun damage item in the game, and since our playstyle is so safe its incredibly easy to stack.

  4. Spirit Burn

    6,400 souls · Big nerfs to this item, in pure damage it is still the best option, but not by far, consider Crippling Headshot more often if they don't hav

  5. Crippling Headshot

    6,400 souls · It's mostly useful in longer fights, not as good for pure sniping, still, has massive value in teamfights, try to go for headshots if you're

  6. Lucky Shot

    6,400 souls · Finish our gun investments, and good for normal gun damage. | You can replace it with a green that gives ~15% gun damage (since thats how mu

  7. Mercurial Magnum

    6,400 souls · Last item, we swap Mystic Shot for this, and altough our 3 damage does go down a bit, our base gun damage goes up.//The nerfs to this thing

Components

  1. Extra Health

    800 souls · The extra health does help in lane, and if you're going up against a melee/dangerous lane, you can pick it up early, especially since we're

  2. Extra Stamina

    800 souls · We take Stamina over other greens because it helps us stay out of other champion's effective range, we dont need to mitigate damage that we

  3. Long Range

    1,600 souls · Goated item, 15m is a lot less then you'd think, if your playing right your going to have the damage nigh permanently.

  4. Weakening Headshot

    1,600 souls · Low prio, it's decent if your entire team is gun carries tho.//Even lower prio after the nerf, but only slightly.

Survivability

  1. Restorative Shot

    800 souls · Surprisingly viable, very decent for sustain, and you can simply sell it first later. It also just literally out dps' headshot booster, that

  2. Extra Regen

    800 souls · Essentially 4 extra health regen, over a minute thats 240 health healed (as long as your not in combat), this or Restorative Shot and you wo

  3. Rebuttal

    800 souls · This item, per gold value, is objectively busted, you certainly won't need it late game, but if your against a melee lane, buying it (and pr

  4. Reactive Barrier

    1,600 souls · If they have 4+ stuns on the enemy team, will probably sell, or build into indomitable for long range displacements like Bepop hook.

  5. Warp Stone

    3,200 souls · Warp stone is decent, but honestly, Stamina Mastery is just better in nearly every feasible way, only buy it if you really love it.

  6. Dispel Magic

    3,200 souls · For the long range roots like Vindicta 1, you can't let them get close.

  7. Counterspell

    3,200 souls · It's counterspell. What else do you want me to say?

  8. Divine Barrier

    6,400 souls · Useful for Pocket ult.//Pocket ult just got nerfed, so the use cases for this item just dropped ever so slightly.

  9. Indomitable

    6,400 souls · Bepop.

Last Purchases

  1. Superior Cooldown

    3,200 souls · Very low priority, your 3 is the only thing we care about.

  2. Transcendent Cooldown

    6,400 souls · This finishes our spirit investment after buying Mercurial Magnum, buying it before then isn't usually optimal.// With the increased movespe

Author's notes

[Kinetic Carbine does not have damage fall off, you can easily hit cross map 2k damage time shots.] Kinetic Carbine has very interesting item synergies, this build has all of the ones that work, making it the best and original Paradox one-shot build.
