Playstyle

Assassin type. Close range burst damage via ability combo, then reset for cooldowns. Basic combo is: Begin charge of Kinetic Carbine, then throw Pulse Grenade onto target, then hit target with Charged Kinetic Carbine, then drop Time Wall near target, then Paradoxical Swap through the wall. Make sure to shoot basic weapon during the combo. Point blank item should prevent escape.

Lane Phase:

Pressure opponent with Carbine + Grenade combo from range. Charge the Carbine, toss grenade to flush out the target, then slap them with the Carbine. Otherwise, simply sit back and deny farm. If pushed back to Guardian, attempt to swap opponent into Guardian range.

Early / Mid

Roll around and attempt assassination on other lanes. Clear neutral mobs between lanes to farm when possible.

Late / Teamfight

Pressure target from mid range with Carbine + Grenade combo. Prioritize your own positioning, and swap an opponent into your team. During a teamfight, you are effectively an initializer that removes a single opponent from the field via swap and gank.
