Sha Lin

Edit

Sha Lin ▶️ is a Damage Champion in Paladins, added on November 10th, 2016.

Lore[]

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


Stories of the legendary adventurer Sha Lin have spread far and wide across the Realm, recounting his heroic exploits and death-defying antics. During his short lifetime, he's already helped topple warlords, recovered long-lost artifacts, and betrayed the infamous Thousand Hands Guild. At least, that's the tales he started spreading.

He's pierced as many hearts with his magical longbow as he has broken with his silver tongue, but as the Resistance faltered in standing up to the oppressive Magistrate on behalf of the common folk, he felt responsibility fall on his shoulder to join his allies in the fight.

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


Tales have spread across the Realm of the legendary adventurer Sha Lin, toppling warlords, recovering long-lost artifacts, and betraying the criminal organization, the Thousand Hands are some of the stories told about the bow-wielding adventurer. Though he currently fights alongside the Resistance and seems to be rather fond of Ying.

He later accompanied Atlas and a group of other champions into the Shattered Desert to face Yagorath.

According to Atlas, in the Lost Future, Sha Lin would end up dying at some point.

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


Tales of the legendary adventurer Sha Lin have spread far and wide across the Realm, recounting his heroic exploits and death-defying antics. During his short lifetime, he's already helped topple warlords, recovered long-lost artifacts, and betrayed the infamous Thousand Hand Guild.

He's broken as many hearts with his magical longbow as he has with his silver tongue, but even he has a stake in the current conflict between the Magistrate and the Resistance, standing up to the oppressive Magistrate on behalf of the common folk.

Summary[]

Sha Lin is a damage champion and an oppressive ranged attacker, who fires high damage arrows, dealing more damage the longer they are charged. The Crippling Arrow allows him to cripple enemies. Rapid Shot allows Sha Lin to fire many arrows in a short burst. Withdraw (which lets him backflip away) and his Ultimate skill, Heat Haze, both grant Sha Lin stealth, making him invisible, making him harder to track down and allowing him to slip away when under fire. However, he is very reliant on his skills and will be easily taken out while on cooldown. Player awareness and anti-stealth effects are also a harsh counter against him.

Trivia[]


Lore

  • Sha Lin was formerly a member of the Thousand Hands.[2]
    • Vora implies he may have only joined and betrayed the group for sake of growing stronger, rather than any other reason. However, it was never specified if Vora was indeed referring to the Thousand Hands or some other group.[3]
  • Though Sha Lin's bio describes the Magistrate in a villainous light, the description is merely Sha Lin's own personal opinion on them.[4]
  • 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 Sha Lin would be around 5'8 or 176cm tall.


Cameos

Sha Lin appears in the following content:

Notable Characters that appear in Sha Lin's own content includes:


References

  • In the line "Du du, du du... du du. Tsk, how does that go again?" (▶️) Sha Lin attempts to sing the song Sandstorm by Darude.
  • The line "It is dangerous to go alone." (▶️) is a reference to a line spoken in the original Legend of Zelda.
  • The line "People say desert cities are beautiful. I like dust too." (▶️) may be a reference to the Counter Strike map Dust II.


Concepts

  • There are a number of skin concepts for Sha Lin that ultimately went unused; these include the Interdimensional Being, Corrupted, and Hunter of Monsters skins.[5]


Other

  • Sha Lin's default (and Bravado skin by extension) face was reworked in Open Beta 50. A before and after be seen here.
  • Sha Lin is the only champion to have received a minor Battle Pass skin (this being the 'In The Bag' skin from the first Battle Pass) to never receive a completely unique skin in a later battle pass.
  • Sha Lin used to have an ability that allowed him to summon large pillars when shooting the environment, allowing him to block enemy movement, or create platforms to increase his mobility.[6]
  • His Withdraw and Heat Haze abilities used to leave behind false copies of himself.[7][8]
  • In older versions of Paladins, there used to be a number of additional recolors of default champions. For Sha Lin, these recolors included the Charisma and Renowned skins.
  • Having been present in the mobile game 'Paladins Strike', Sha Lin received unique skins exclusive to Strike. These skins include Desert Prince Sha Lin and Surf's Up Sha Lin.


Champion Skins

  • Bravado
    • Bravado is a show of boldness often intended to impress or intimidate.


  • Burrito Jersey


  • In the Bag
    • This skin is based on the comedic idea of wearing a paper bag on one's head to hide an ugly appearance.


  • Guardian / Vigilante / Crime Fighter
    • The Crimefighter skin's color scheme may be a reference to Daredevil.
    • These skins' death response to Buck "Gah, my back! You broke my back!" (▶️) is a reference to the Batman story Knightfall, in which Batman's back is broken by Bane. The line "You may have broken me once... but not again!" (▶️) also references this.
      • These skins' death response to Mal'Damba "You've got to stop using venom..." (▶️) is also likely a reference to Bane, who often increases his strength using a substance known as venom.
    • These skins' kill taunt against Cassie "You should call yourself Green Sparrow!" (▶️) is a reference to Green Arrow.
      • These skins' other kill taunt against Cassie "If your bird was a canary, I think we'd really get along!" (▶️) may be a reference to Black Canary.
    • The joke "What should I name my lair? The bow cave? The mirage? Hmm..." (▶️) is a reference to the Batcave. The line "New gadgets for the bow cave!" (▶️) also references this.
    • The joke "I need a theme song. Maybe I can license sandstorm!" (▶️) is a reference to the song Sandstorm by Darude.
    • The joke "Archer senses tingling!" (▶️) is a reference to Spider-Man.
    • The line "Quick! To the arrow car!" (▶️) is a reference to the 1966 Batman TV series.

    • The line "Great job, super friend!" (▶️) references the Super Friends TV series.
