Paladins - Ability Breakdown - Talus, of the Ska'drin 

he doesn't escape the law. the law escapes him

Now can I get a penta kill in just 4 seconds?

I don't care for his abillities, give us lore and how he's connected to Mr. B.

Can he challenge makoa jokes in 3... 2... 1..

Can't wait to see people saying that his F ability is a copy of Sombra. That F ability is Kinessa's old teleport ability. Long before Sombra is even released.

I see a lot of people in the comments complaining about his atrocious damage. Flanks aren't about dealing damage anyway, they're meant to secure kills. The more potential damage a flank holds, the inverse effect applies to their mobility. Take Zhin and Lex for example, they both have limited vertical mobility but make up for in their high Damage potential. Evie has high damage and mobility but she suffers from a projectile-based weapon and the lowest health pool in the game. Talus was meant to bridge the gap between a hitscan flank and high mobility champion.

Nice but can he... We are stronger together!

I see many overwatch fanboys commenting that talus is a ripoff of sombra or what ever, the thing that surprises me that these people keep track of whatever's going in paladins? why? BECAUSE YOU ARE THREATENED! BECAUSE A FREE GAME BY A SMALLER COMPANY IS DOING AS GOOD AS THE GAME MADE BY A REPUTED ONE, THE ONE YOU PAID FOR! so here you are screaming that paladins is a ripoff of your perfect game although it is a very well known fact that paladins was in beta long before overwatch was released

I'm so pumped for this character I've been collecting gold for it since you announced him for the first time in the Livestream

Palandins is one of my favourite games

talus is the best person i’ve ever played on paladins ngl

How can anybody hate this small lad

Don't froget Talus... *NO ONE ESCAPE THE LAW !*

Player: crap I'm at 1 health, good thing I got away Talus: *ults* hi

Stop comment "can he escape the law ?"or"can he challenge Makoa ?" JUST STOP

"Don't move, Mr.B. I"LL BE RIGHT BACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK" Best champion ever.

Can't wait to ult drogoz out of the sky.

Oh for crying out loud. Really tired of people comparing every single character that comes out with one of Overwatch. Don't get me wrong, I love that game as much as I like Paladins, but it irks me because Blizzard didn't invent any of the skills that this guy or most characters use yet people are acting like they did. They didn't invent punches or teleports, plus the characters gamestyle is really different, which makes both games enjoyable because even if they have similar game mechanics their gameplay is very different, and I find that lovely. And yes, I'm aware some of them are just jokes.

Comment section: 50% "omg, OW fans are jealous" 25% "but can he challenge makoa" 24% "Paladins came first and it's better" 0.5% smart, well-structured comment 0.5% OW troll

0:56 Looks like that's where Kinessa's old teleporter went.

I think Torvald's debuff is wrong. They should reduce its damage power and leave as it is the health, instead of doing the opposite, or he won't be a tank

He looks ok, but his weapon damage isn't very great.

Can he get into enemy spawn with his ultimate

Allow talus to (ranged) cast his tp on any surface (up to a certain distance). And use his blitz upper vertically too.

Cool Hero!

This champion looks cool in all but.... CAN HE CHALLENGE MAKOA??? CAN HE ESCAPE THE LAW?? CAN HE STEP INTO THE LIGHT?? CAN HE GAZE INTO THE ABYSS?? CAN HE TRY AND RUN?? Yeah I know this joke is old now

What I like is you can target guys who are almost dead who are running away from their team and destroy them. On top of that target a healer as they leave their spawn completely denying the team from being healed.

Now that they added this character in gonna keep enjoying the game

Exited for talus

Rip Torvald

so in order to use your ult you have to temporarily blind yourself? That saves stryx some trouble I guess.

Zhin: YYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH Talus: WOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH Paladins creating wise champions :^)

His weapon looks like Peter's quill.

Paladins please give attention to grohk

Anyone else catch the little foreshadowing of guaranteed death when he said "then return to the front line after respawning"

He... He CAN escape the law!

But, can he step into the light?

Good corrupted Mowgli

And here we are in 2020 and he is still terrifying on console

Well... Ballanced champ, can't say anything about him. Love the concept too... *cheers.*

excelent! but... HE CAN CHALLENGE MAKOA??!?

Namoral esse campeão está muito bonito

that ult sounds radical, yo

I like that his ult isn't so crazy powerful but pretty good to get anywhere

Buff Talus!

So, if he aims his ult upward, does it still go through? Or does it have to be focused on a champion.

That little teleport thing is just like Sombras teleport

I can't wait to try out talus when he comes out

so talus ult more like king crimson works ?

lets wait to see which Overwatch hero gets hit ult changed to this one :D i bet its Roadhog

Hey HiRez, I don't know if you know this yet but... not every character has to use a gun! MIND BLOWING i know!!!

Imagine your team is on point 3-3 and its overtime and its a clean sweep on ice mines, So he ults and stops the whole team on their mounts

I played the PTS Talus is fun he's kind of like Lex before though he feels like he's 60% flank 40% damage he's bad compared to other flanks and what a Flank needs. I like him he is fun just not in the way I think a flank should be. Evie, Androxus, Maeve( and somtimes buck) can all Dive past the enemy lines to a target, burst them down, survive and escape easily if needed and easily chase an enemy if they try to escape. Talus can can't dive in well but he delectably makes up for it by having a reliable amazing escape, he has fair burst if you have good aim. However I think he's rather unforgiving because allthough he can escape well I find it easy to survive a flank from Talus his demon punch can't out maneuver you like other flanks can and it's not hard to escape him and you can sometimes burst him down better than he can you. Specifically I think Talus doesn't stand a chance against a Bomb King or Viktor or Tyra or Sha Lin. In casual I tried playing him more damagy with wrecker I found it went well and I thought he almost fit it better. I mean he can go to any great vantage point for a damage and gun down shields if he gets flanked POP out of there with the Teleport. Also with the demon punch I like to hop on point and punch everyone off and tp out. I like him but not for the right reason and I think he's not on Androxus, Maeve, Evie level of a Flank. Oh and his ultimate, I think this is Amazing if enemy team ever has a backline damage I think this is a real flank ultimate which is good doesn't change anything I said but his ultimate is a great idea I like it fits ideal ultimate for a flank and fits his kit great.

I think it's better than overwatch

Looks like i'm gonna use this character for a long long long time

Everytime he says something or screams I'm going to think of Gon

Doomfist + sombra This will start controversy

this champ is cool

He can't zzzzzztAAAAAARGHHH. BUT HE HHHUUUAAAAAAARGHHH. Nice job Hi-Rez

I use Talus everyday in Paladins, he's so OP

the skill is good but can it escape my abyss gazing?

Can he... Escape the law?

Let's talk about how you can use rune of travel, ult through the map and teleport back through the map by reactivating run of travel

Finally a non-human champion after a long !

Donde estan los españoles locoooo??

he's my new main along side lian. But lian needs a slight buff when I come to her ult. and what I mean is that if example ruckus has 800 health and use his shield skill that give him 1800 but more of it is shield.it should ignore Shields and kill him.... also it would be nice to have the opinion to change 1st person shooter to 3rd person shooter. and plz bring classic bow cassie back. or have the opinion to equipment bow or bowgun.. I tried to get to bowgun cassie and it really not the same.... .

we got a new support (Jenos) a new damage (Strix) and now a new flank all we need is a new front line and we set

Dude I'm so excited for this little devil XD seriously though...just curious...when's pip gonna get his mastery skin? Or will he get one at all?

Wow sombra finally got a new skin

Hi Sombra 😂

Hi-Rez please make lore. There are 32 champions now (including Talus) and there is virtually nothing about lore, there's only a few voice lines and such. The lore will give the champions personalities and make us players feel connected to them. I NEED LORE HIREZ PLZ

Oh you are not killing Maive!

nerf this

NERF MAEVE

Great job Hi Rez, I'm back to playing Paladins again. I had quit for a while because of Hackers and Aimbotters. Since the recent patch, I have been seeing less and less Aimbotters and Hackers, Which is a good thing !

He is adorable, but can he be the last one standing and win?

So his dash is a Genji + Lucio and his teleporting thing is sombra...do devs even listen to the comments on how people compare this to Overwatch?

ult seems pretty amazing think about just spawning and ulting all the way to their base

Can he give his king a big hug ?

Sounds like a pretty good flank to be honest, I was dissapointed that you didn't have a supprt or tank to release, but this sounds like it could be intersting.

So... Am I the only one that thinks Talus is broken. He can melt Rhum in seconds.

RIP old Torvald...

Hey, Hi-Rez. I just wanted to ask if you can add a backstory to each champion. Thanks!

thats fucking op ultimate right there

Ash+viktor+evie=Talus 😀 like if u agree...

So a good idea would be place a ROT, use the ultimate, then immediately teleport back?

But can he give his king a big hug?

Maybe he can't challenge makoa, but he still can glitch out your teammate, if he spectates you, while you ult.

His ultimate is like Kallari's ultimate in paragon

First thing I noticed is he already needs a buff. I feel like a ultimate buff or damage buff would even him out,maybe have his ultimate be able to do 1500 damage so he could bring any champion down fast because of his lack of mobility plus NO ONE will use his ultimate to get to the back in feel like being able to do a lot of damage is what people want

But can he challenge makoa?

they sure keep track of everything but they never keep track on changeing the rotation its been there for over 2 or 3 months

His gun reminds me of a tec 9 tilted sideways like the do in movies

I need merch from him

PROTECC THAT CHILD IS MY TOP PRIORITY

TALUS' SEEMS HARD TO AIM

The real question is can he challenge makoa AND escape the law at the same time?

Hi Rez used all there Lore points for Smite

Can enemies see the rune? or is it just you that sees it?

Talus (ult) Seems like a good wombo with through time and space (jenos)
