Paladins Champions Gameplay Tutorial and How to Play Them

3. Flank Champion: Buck

Buck is an excellent champion, but it’s one of the hardest Paladins Champions to play. Why? Because you pretty much need to hit the net precisely to deal more damage. Yes, your job is to flank just like all the flankers, but while doing that, you need to keep close to the enemy so you will deal a lot more damage than away from it. Let’s start.

What you want to do with Buck is try to flank the damage dealers and no one else. You have different skills for initiating, for disengaging and running away, healing yourself, but it’s still hard to manage all of that. When you get close to an enemy, you need to fire the Net Shot (Fire a net that slows the target for by 50% for 1.5s and deals 150 damage. Bonus Damage: Buck deals 30% more damage to Netted Targets) at him without missing it so you can kill him a lot faster.

After you do that and you find yourself in a danger, you might wanna activate Heroic Leap (Buck leaps an incredible height and distance. Landing on a target deals 350 damage and slows enemies for 1s.) jump out of the fight and pop your Recovery (Heal for 1000 health over 4 seconds) so you can get your health back really fast.

After all of that, you can try to reinitiate again with your Heroic Leap and try to hit a target. It is tough. But one of Heroic Leap or Net Shot must connect so you can kill the mark a lot easier. It’s pretty much the same rotation, always.

Using Buck’s Ultimate

Buck Wild – Go Buck Wild, instantly resetting all your cooldowns, refilling your ammo and causing your weapon to deal double damage for 6 seconds. The best way to use this is to eliminate the Damage dealers, or maybe jump in the middle of the tanks if the damage dealers are dead.

Advice: The difference with Buck is that you can always chase down their flankers easy. The problem is their damage dealers are more important.

With buck, there are too many different types of builds. We will release the best build that will suit you for this kind of gameplay in another FGR’s post. Just stay put.

Buck Gameplay Video:

Buck is a sharp guy who can be used as a front line flanker. I call it front line flanker because he is a bit tanky and can demolish people by going close on them with his leaping ability and hitting the net shot precisely.
