Why it works
- Root, then teleport behind.
Captivating Read
Captivating Read Paige marks an area with latent magic that slows anyone standing in it, then after a short delay the magic goes off, dealing spirit damage and locking enemies caught in it in place. Crowd Control A slow on entry, then an immobilize (root) when the zone detonates. Damage 90 spirit damage (deadlock.one). Defensive Immobilizing a diver is her only real self-peel, since she has no movement… 1 increased cooldown reduction. 2 +2m radius, on hit reduce spirit resist by 18% for 6s, and doubled range. locks enemies in place, and the
Stalker's Mark
Stalker's Mark Drifter throws out a mark that latches onto the first enemy it touches, bleeding them for spirit damage over time. Crowd Control None directly, though Tier 3's -40% healing reduction functions as an… Damage 2.0% bleed damage per second scaling with Spirit Power over a 5s duration… Mobility The recast is an instant teleport to directly behind the marked target —… 1 -8% bullet resist on the target after the ambush 2 -10s cooldown (from a 26s base) and +3s duration 5 +1.5% bleed damage and -40% healing reduction recast puts Drifter directly behind a caught target that cannot walk away from him. - A barrier for the commit. Drifter has no escape tool and his teleport only moves him toward danger.
Plot Armor
Plot Armor Paige grants a chosen ally a barrier, and for as long as that barrier is still standing the ally's weapon damage is increased. Damage No damage. 125 barrier and +25% weapon damage at base (deadlock.one). T2… Mobility None, though it is her main way of keeping a diving ally alive. Defensive Direct barrier on an ally at 35m range (urgametips.com), 28s cooldown. 1 while barriered, +14% fire rate. 2 +100 barrier, +2s duration. 5 affects up to 2 additional allies with increased barrier scaling. gives him a barrier and more weapon damage while he finishes the kill. - Blinded enemies can't peel.
Eternal Night
Eternal Night Drifter blankets nearby enemy heroes in darkness, badly restricting what they can see of other units. Crowd Control Vision denial rather than conventional crowd control — affected heroes… Damage No direct damage; it enables Bloodscent's amplification instead. Mobility Tier 1 adds +10 m/s sprint speed. 1 +10 m/s sprint speed 2 -40s cooldown (from a 145s base) 5 +2.5s duration and +1 maximum target blinds the enemies around Drifter so they cannot coordinate, which keeps them from punishing Paige's lack of mobility while she places her zones.
