Revision as of 16:50, 24 March 2021
Androxus is a Flank Champion in Paladins, added on March 11th, 2016.
Lore
Androxus was once a noble lawman of the Outer Tribunal circuit judges. He and his former partner, Lex, were relentless in their pursuit of criminals and threats to the natural order.
After a tragic confrontation with a deceitful being claiming to be a goddess, he became afflicted with an otherworldly disease, dooming him with an endless hunger for souls. Now he wanders the Realm, adrift, in a never-ending quest to quell that hunger, stripped of his rank and duties with the Tribunal, and condemned to live with the curse for eternity.
Summary
Androxus is a heavy damage flank champion, capable of gunning down unsuspecting enemies and fleeing before the enemy team can regroup and finish him off. His primary gun, the cursed revolver, is a semi-automatic sidearm that excels at short range and has heavy damage falloff. If an enemy makes the mistake of getting too close to him or not seeing Androxus come up behind them, he can use Defiance, a short range punch that can impact multiple enemies at once, dealing the same amount of damage as his primary weapon. Androxus's Nether Step ability will cause him to dash forward three times in any direction, horizontally or vertically, allowing him to quickly ambush his prey or otherwise escape undesirable confrontations. To add to his mobility, Androxus can float through the air holding the jump button, allowing him to gradually descend on an unaware target or hide high in the map until he heals. Reversal allows Androxus to absorb all frontal damage coming at him and redirect a large portion of it back at the enemy, making him a dangerous target for high dps targets. With his ult, Accursed Arm, Androxus focuses his cursed power into his revolver arm, generating a demonic cannon that fires blast damage shots powerful enough to devastate grouped up enemies or to bring down most heavy champions. While not the most mobile flank, Androxus can overpower most combatants, especially if he gets the first shot in. However, once his abilities are on cooldown, Androxus can be quickly caught off-guard and unable to escape.
