Lore

• Current Official Bio
• Unofficial Updated Bio
• Old Official Bio

This is Lex's official bio currently found in his champion page in-game.

The Outer Tribunal is made up of merciless, oathbound judges, with none more dedicated than Lex. His partner, Androxus, traversed the outskirts of the Realm with him, tracking down infamous criminals and battling all manner of horrors on behalf of the Magistrate and its people.

During an Outer Tribunal mission, the pair were offered a deal that could lend them power. Lex stood fast, but Androxus succame to its influence. Watching his partner abandon their duties and rise to the top of the Outer Tribunal target list, Lex took up his former partner's weapon to honor the oath they took. Vowing to right this wrong and one day take his former friend in: dead or alive.

This is an unofficial version of Lex's bio intended to more clearly present all currently known information regarding him. Sources can be found here.

The most merciless and oathbound judge of the Outer Tribunal, Lex used to work alongside Androxus, with the two battling all sorts of criminals and threats to the Realm; that is, until a tragic confrontation with a sinister Abyssal entity claiming to be a goddess changed Androxus, who abandoned his duties and quickly rose to the top of the most-wanted list. Now wielding his former partner's own magnum, Lex will stop at nothing to bring his old friend in dead or alive.

In one notable encounter with Androxus, Lex nearly defeated him, only for Zhin and Maeve to join the fight, though the outcome of this encounter is unclear. At a later point, Lex would also save Pip.

Following Yagorath's release, Lex would work with Atlas to fight Vora at Bazaar, before later joining him once again to battle Yagorath in the Shattered Desert, where Lex would be severely injured; seemingly narrowly avoiding death and being pulled into the Fields of Strife in the Abyss.

In the Lost Future, Lex would marry and become the father of Atlas, though he was seemingly killed while Atlas was still young, falling victim to Yagorath herself in Bazaar.

This was Lex's in-game bio prior to the The Damned Frontier update. It's no longer considered canon.

The Outer Tribunal is made up of merciless, oathbound judges, none more dedicated than Lex. He and his partner, Androxus, traveled the fringes of the Realm together, tracking down infamous criminals and battling all manner of horrors on behalf of the Magistrate. After encountering a sinister goddess, though, Androxus abandoned his duties and quickly rose to the top of the most wanted list.

Lex, unable to turn his back on the law or the Magistrate, vowed to one day take his former partner in, dead or alive.

Summary

Lex is a flank champion who specializes in close range duels. He relies on good use of his mobility to outplay his opponents. His skill In Pursuit is his tool to kill elusive targets who are on low health, and Retribution grants vision on a random target and bonus credits for killing them based on their current kill streak. Combat Slide allows Lex to quickly re-position himself during fights and to disengage. His ultimate, The Law, instant kills targets within the area of effect who are under a health threshold, which makes it a great tool for cleaning up team fights. However, Lex lacks vertical mobility, deals low damage from afar and relies on having clear line of sight of his targets to deal any damage.

Ultimate ▶️

The Law

Bring retribution down on your enemies, executing targets below 65% health and destroying all shields. Enemies above 65% health take 600 damage. Reset the cooldown of In Pursuit.

Details

Detailed Description

Release an infallible surge of Judgement, destroying Shields, Executing enemies at or below 65% Health, and resetting the Cooldown of In Pursuit. Deals 600 damage to enemies above 65% Health. Has a range of 120 units.

▶️ “No one escapes the LAW!” (Self/Enemy)

  • There is an additional indicator while channelling the ult. Players can see a beam on each target, with blue indicating not being able to execute and red indicating the opposite.
• The Law executes targets based on their current actual Health, meaning any shields added to the targets' health pool will not be considered for the execute threshold. Essentially making this ultimate able to ignore personal shields.
• If targets are above 65% and have a Personal Shield, the shield will be completely destroyed but not take 600 damage? (TBD - needs confirmation)

Lore

• Lex is the father of Atlas in the Lost Future. His wife was a random Realm inhabitant and not another playable character.
  • Lex isn't married to his future wife in the present yet.
• One of Lex's magnums used to belong to Androxus.
  • The reason Lex uses it is to honor his partner and keep his legacy alive.
• Lex and Androxus are both very stubborn, which is the implied reason the two haven't talked their conflict out.
• Lex appears to have had an encounter with Koga at some point in the past.
• Lex supposedly warned Atlas about Vora, though how Vora knows that Lex is Atlas' father was never explained.
• Though Lex was severely injured in Yagorath's teaser trailer, he's not dead. Though it was later implied that Lex almost crossed into the Abyss as a result.
• Based on a dev statement revealing Viktor to be around 5'9 or 175cm tall and comparing it to model sizes in-game and out of game, it was discovered that Lex would be around 6'1 or 185cm tall.

References

• The line "You're goddamn right." (▶️) is a reference to a line from Breaking Bad.

Concepts

• Lex had many hugely different designs prior to his final look being settled on. Additionally, many different unused abilities were also concepted, such as a leap, projectile rochochets, wings, and small areas of deployable energy.
• At one point, a concept for a redesigned Lex was explored, but ultimately never materialized in-game.
• Various pirate-themed skin concepts were created, but never materialized in-game; among them, is the Privateer Lex skin.

Other

• There are slight variations in Lex's reload depending on how much ammo is left when using certain weapons.
• Lex's weapons originally behaved a bit differently; they had a slower rate of fire and less ammo, but dealt much more damage. This was completely overhauled and later returned as the Death Hastens talent.
• Lex originally had an emote called "Deadshot", where he used his guns to draw a face, though it was removed due to "regional content consideration", which many took to mean that it was removed due to the now defunct Chinese Edition of the game. The emote can be seen here and here.
  • It's been mentioned that some developers are trying to bring this emote back.
• In older versions of Paladins, there used to be a number of additional recolors of default champions. For Lex, these recolors included the Justicar and Peacekeeper skins.
• Having been present in the mobile game 'Paladins Strike', Lex received unique skins exclusive to Strike. These skins include Penalty Punisher Lex, Red Vanguard Lex, and Covert Ops Lex.

Champion Skins

• Lawbringer
  • An individual that brings the law. What a concept.

• Croakie
  • It's Lex wearing a frog hat. Yup.

• Longboard / Sarrada
  • These skins' personality is based on a stereotypical surfer.
  • These skins' splash art features the same background as Sun Kissed and Copacabana Cassie.
  • These skins share their theme with Sun Kissed Cassie, Copacabana Cassie, Beach Bunny Rei, Beachside Octavia, Freedom Fighter Octavia, Lifeguard Tiberius, Shore Patrol Kinessa, Shore Patrol Koga, Shore Patrol Fernando, Shore Patrol Lian, and the Beach Bash variants of the latter four.
