Makoa

Edit

Makoa ▶️ is a Front Line Champion in Paladins, added on August 4th, 2016.

Lore[]

Once the dedicated protector of the island home of the Ska'drin, the ancient Makoa has now been summoned to the mainland. In his absence, he fears that he cannot ensure the safety of the volcanic islands.

But with the greater threat in the Realm, he's taken to the land, to make sure those he protects have a home to return to. With him, he brings the ocean's fury and the tortoise's indomitable resilience, as well as various naval implements, to bear against those who would defile the natural world.

Summary[]

Makoa is a front line champion able to soak up large amounts of damage and a wide hitbox, making him ideal for defending his allies from enemy fire. His cannon shots are quite slow and have a steep drop off of trajectory and damage but can still be dangerous. Dredge Anchor allows Makoa to pull in enemy champions to leave them at the mercy of his teammates. Shell Shield spawns a large, round shield around Makoa for a duration, while Shell Spin allows him to quickly reposition himself even while his shield is active. Makoa's ultimate skill, Ancient Rage, will increase his maximum health, fully heal him and change his weapon shots for wide melee attacks that can hit multiple targets per swing, making it an ideal skill for turning the tides of battle around.

Trivia[]

  • Makoa obtained his anchor from Dredge's ship, as revealed here.
    • Despite this, in Talus' card Antediluvian, Makoa is shown as an ancient statue already wielding his anchor, despite the fact Judd was a mortal man prior to the events of Dark Tides.
  • Makoa is one of the oldest playable characters,[4] (being older than Torvald)[5] though clearly is no longer the outright oldest. (▶️)
  • Years ago when asked who the most powerful character in the lore is, it was said Makoa probably has everyone beat in that regard, which implies he's more powerful than Jenos at least. Though with characters like Azaan and Yagorath, Makoa no longer seems to be the strongest.
  • 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 Makoa would be around 5'4 or 164cm tall.

  • Makoa also appears in the Makoa avatar.

  • An Abyssal-themed skin for Makoa was concepted around the Rise of Furia event, but ultimately never materialized in-game. This skin can be viewed here.

  • He and Barik are voiced by the same voice actor.
  • In older versions of Paladins, there used to be a number of additional recolors of default champions. For Makoa, these recolors included the Aruba and Bahama skins.

  • Makoa montego small.pngMontego


  • Makoa barrierwreath small.pngBarrier Wreath
  • This is the only skin to change just Makoa's shell.


  • Makoa plushy small.pngMakoa cuddly small.pngMakoa prosperous small.pngPlushy / Cuddly / Prosperous
  • A label is present on Plushy and Cuddly's weapons that reads "Hand Wash Only, Hug Dry, Made in the Realm with 100% Love".[6]
  • The line "Ha! Someone's got a case of the Mondays!" (▶️) references how Monday is often the most commonly considered worst day of the week.
  • The line "Ugh, I hate when teams turtle! It's insulting!" (▶️) references in-game turtling, a type of playstyle many find frustrating to play against.
  • The Plushy skin appears in the I WUV YOU avatar.
  • The Plushy skin also appears in the :hrx_makoa: Steam emoticon, using artwork from the I WUV YOU avatar.
  • The Plushy skin is also the only skin or character to have ever been made into an official plush.[7]


  • Makoa volcanic small.pngVolcanic
  • This skin was a reward for players who reached level 30 in the Paladins Beta.


  • Makoa dutchman small.pngDutchman
  • One of this skin's voice lines, "And I would've gotten away with it too." (▶️), is a reference to Scooby-Doo.
  • This skin's splash art appears as a spray.


  • Makoa akuma small.pngAkuma
  • This skin is likely based on the Akuma, a malevolent fire spirit in Japanese folklore.


  • Makoa omega small.pngOmega
  • The line "I need your armor, your thrusters and your life." (▶️) is a reference to a line from Terminator 2.
