->''"Hey, wake up, you lazy lizards!"''

A leipori from the Enchanted Forest. Using her magic and familiar, Moji set out to awaken the great nature spirits to defend the natural world from the ever growing war between the Magistrate and Resistance.

Moji's Abilities:
* '''Familiar Spit''', her primary fire, is a weak magic projectile launched from Po-Li's left head, which consumes Magic Marks she applied on enemies to deal bonus damage
* '''Familiar Spray''' is a stream of magical energy from Po-Li's right head. Every hit with the spray applies 1 Magic Mark to the enemy, stacking up to 10 times.
* '''Magic Barrier''' projects an impenetrable forcefield around her. Enemies that attack the barrier receive 10 stacks of Magic Mark.
* '''Scamper''' has her quickly scamper forward on her familiar.
* '''Bon Appetit''', her Ultimate, transforms a single enemy into a delicious treat for Po-Li. Coming into contact with the transformed victim executes them and prevents ability-based revival.\\

Moji's Talents:
* '''Snack Attack''' makes players you kill leave Health Drops that heal you for 800HP when picked up.
* '''Boom Boom''' makes detonating a Magic Mark damages all enemies within a 15 units radius of the original enemy.
* '''Toot''' makes ''Scamper'' leave a...gas cloud for 3 seconds that grants allies 600 health over a period of 3 seconds.\\
\\
Her champion teaser can be seen [[https://youtu.be/Z20SZAvW6EU here]].

* ApologeticAttacker: She seems to be friends with Grover and Makoa as she sounds horrified and apologizes if she kills them.
* ArmorIsUseless: Her Dragonborn skin wears pieces of decorative armor, which do nothing for the player, but it sure does look nice.
* BadassAdorable: Like Plushy Makoa, Moji's [[https://twitter.com/PaladinsGame/status/1058033741946384384 Cuddly skin]] is a cute patchwork doll riding on a toy two-headed lizard called Mr. Snugglesworth.
* BarefootCartoonAnimal: Moji is barefoot underneath her robes.

** Her ''Dragonborn'' skin serves as a questionably canon older, more mature, version of Moji who's ''very'' arrogant and self absorbed, with even her mount, Po-Li, being a victim of her insults.
** ''Cuddly'' turns Moji into a cute stuffed toy with a similarly even more childish personality.
** ''PEEKABOO'' turns her into a little skeleton man based on the Nightmode artist of the same name.
* BespectacledCutie: Moji fits this trope quite nicely. Generally friendly and sweet, all the while having glasses that only make her look cuter.
* BigEater: Po-Li's stomach is a bottomless pit. Moji constantly has to tell the familiar not to eat things.
* BottomlessMagazines: Both ''Familiar Spit'' and ''Familiar Spray'' have no reload or cooldown and can be used endlessly. This is countered by Familiar Spit's weak damage and Familiar Spray's short range.
* CallingYourAttacks: Moji has a tendency to do this; "Barrium Protectay" is spoken when using Magic Barrier, and she summons her mount by saying "Horseum Appearasus".
* TheCameo:
** Dragonborn Moji appears in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFyAh69Dl30 Dark Tides]] lore cinematic.
** Moji, alongside Pip and Pepper, appears in the card art of [[https://paladins.gamepedia.com/Deadly_Pursuit "Deadly Pursuit"]], one of Yagorath's cards.
** Moji in swimsuit attire can be seen in the uncropped version of [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/paladins_gamepedia/images/6/6f/Rei_Beach_Bunny_Promo.png?=1080 Rei's "Beach Bunny" skin splash art]].
** Moji, in her default attire, appears in the card art of [[https://paladins.fandom.com/wiki/Magic_in_the_Blood "Magic in the Blood"]], one of Rei's cards.
* TheDividual: They're billed as "Moji and Friends", but in actuality you're controlling Po-Li, the twin-headed familiar Moji sits on the back of. They do the bulk of the fighting while Moji casts spells for the barrier, as well as casting her ultimate. Despite Moji being the one credited as the main champion, you're still largely controlling her familiar.
* DragonRider: Her [[https://web2.hirez.com/paladins//wp-content/uploads/2018/08/SA_Moji_Dragonborn_1920x1080.png Dragonborn skin]] switches out Po-Li for a more fearsome two-headed dragon.
* EyeGlasses: Her regular and recolor glasses have them, but has fully modelled eyes behind them (which for some reason are a different color than the eyes shown on her glasses). Dragonborn wears NerdGlasses, while Cuddly and [=PEEKABOO=] fully avert this as they're not wearing ''any'' glasses.
* TheFaceless: In her normal attire she wears a scarf over the lower half of her face at all times. This was averted with her "Dragonborn" skin, which removes her scarf, showing off her white muzzle. Her "Cuddly" skin also reveals her face (just not in any meaningful way).
* {{Familiar}}: Her trusty steed, Po-Li. Moji rides the regular mounts into battle and switches to Po-Li in combat.
* ForcedTransformation: Her ultimate briefly transforms an enemy into a doggie treat, which her familiar will happily [[EatingTheEnemy snap up]] if given the chance.
* FourFingeredHands: ''Three''-fingered hands, in her case.
* FunnyAnimal: She's an anthropomorphic rabbit-like creature called a leipori.
* GaiasVengeance: Like Willo and Grover, she fights to protect the forests that are being ravaged by the war.
* GoodIsNotNice: Moji in her Dragonborn Skin is the polar opposite. Uptight, arrogant, and incredibly rude to everyone, including her own familiar.
* GoodIsNotSoft: She's very nice and firmly attempting to do what she feels is best. Doesn't stop her from turning her enemies into [[AndIMustScream sentient pieces of candy]] that her pets rip up and eat.
* GoshDangItToHeck: One of her victory quotes "Talk poop, get booped."
* HealThyself. Eating transformed enemies heals her a bit. Also, the "Snack Attack" Talent makes health packs drop from enemies she kills.
* HighlySpecificCounterplay: Enemies that she eats with her ultimate can't be revived. This only affects Terminus, preventing him from using his own ultimate if he's killed that way.
* InformedObscenity: Moji often uses "Boop(ed)" in taunts, while her "Curses" line is "Whiskers". "Dragonborn" favors "Blast it!", while "Cuddly" peppers her dialog with variations of the word "fluff", with her "Curses" being "fluffing fluffer-fluff" (which, were it not deliberately Bowdlerised, is possibly the ''rudest'' by implication).
* JackOfAllStats: Although Moji's a flank, her Talents give her versatility into other roles. '''Boom Boom''' gives her area damage normally reserved for a Damage class, and '''Toot''' allows her to heal and buff allies similar to a Support.
* {{Jerkass}}: Her Dragonborn skin is ''incredibly'' unpleasant to listen to, often coming off as cocky and thinking they're better than anyone else; a noted 180 behaviour-wise when compared to regular Moji, who is normally quite timid.
* KillerRabbit: She's a cute little bunny sorceress, but cross her and she won't hesitate to turn you into a snack for her familiar.
* LadyLooksLikeADude: New players often confuse Moji for being a boy due to not having any immediately obvious TertiarySexualCharacteristics prominently on display to discern the gender. She ''does'' have a high-pitched sounding voice normally, as well as eyelashes, but the former is common for young male characters to have, while the latter are obscured by her large glasses that cover her head from most angles. Averted with Dragonborn Moji, as while her glasses are NerdGlasses with no lenses, and thus shows off those eyelashes, Dragonborn Moji wears body armor as well, making them look more masuline.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: She claims she could send the enemies to another dimension if she wanted, but only doesn't because it'd be "unfair".
--> [[https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/paladins_gamepedia/a/a0/Rider_SP_Joke_2.ogg "I could banish them to another dimension with a wave of my hand... But that wouldn't be very fair, would it?"]]
* MeaningfulName: While her name doesn't mean anything in particular (closest to it would be [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mochi Mochi; a Japanese rice cake]]), her species name, "Leipori" is derived after the family of rabbits and hares; [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leporidae Leiporidae]].
* MultipleHeadCase: Po-Li has two heads. The left one has a derpy look on its face, the right a serious one.
* NerdGlasses: Her Dragonborn Skin has a pair of these.
* {{Nerf}}: The removal of the Superior Crowd Control Immunity mechanic in the 2.05 update makes Moji's ultimate no longer apply on characters that have are immune to crowd control, whereas previously, the ultimate bypassed crowd control immunity entirely.
* NiceGirl: In her default voice pack, she is incredibly friendly, and low on demeaning comments towards her enemies.
* NoSell: Her ''Magic Barrier'' makes her completely invulnerable to damage for two seconds. Like with Khan, this allows her to completely nullify otherwise deadly ultimates with good timing, such as Skye's ''Ticking Time Bomb'', Koga's ''Cyclone Strike'', and Drogoz's ''Dragon Punch.''
* NonstandardCharacterDesign:
** Her small, cartoony design makes her look like she's from another game, like ''VideoGame/{{Gigantic}}''. Some have even said that she looks like she stepped straight out of ''Creator/{{Disney}}'' as she looks even more cartoony compared to the rest of the game.
** She's the only character who's always on a mount (unless one counts Ruckus piloting a mech). This gives her a very unique design in it of itself when compared to the other Champions.
* OutOfFocus: In regards to skins, Moji only has three skins to her name ("Dragonborn", that depicts her as older, "Cuddly", a skin that turns her into a LivingToy, and [=PEEKABOO=], which turns her into a skeleton). When asked why, WordOfGod [[https://twitter.com/HiRezRomanova/status/1474422825712852996 said that]] Moji is both underplayed by players due to her kit simply not being very good, while also being very expensive resource-wise to make skins for due to the model rig of Moji and her familiar, Po-Li, being tricky to deal with (and unlike other characters, Moji and Po-Li are functionally two separate characters in one), meaning there's hardly any motivation for the developers to give them skins because of these factors.
* OpaqueNerdGlasses: Her large coke-bottle glasses take up half of her face. From the right angle, you can see her rather feminine eyes behind her glasses (which are a different color behind her glasses for some reason).
* RabbitMagician: She's an anthropomorphic rabbit who wears a RobeAndWizardHat. However, her familiar does most of the fighting, and the only spells she uses are her barrier and ultimate.
* RobeAndWizardHat: Normally, Moji wears loose robes and a wide-brimmed hat.

[[folder: Skye]]
!!!The Twilight Assassin
!!!'''Faction:''' The Magistrate (possibly)
!!!'''Species:''' Elf
[[quoteright:325:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/paladins_skye.png]]
''[[caption-width-right:325:Times Ticking!...]]''
--> Voiced by Creator/BrynApprill
--> Academic skin voiced by Creator/KatelynGault
--> Heartbreaker skin voiced by ???
--> Kunoichi skin voiced by Creator/KayliMills
--> Street Style skin voiced by ???
--> Temptress skin voiced by ???
--> GG Magree skin voiced by Georgia Magree
-> ''"Take a good look, I won't be here for long."''

Once an assassin of the Thousand Hands, Skye later attracted the attention of the Magistrate before being brought into the group, though where she stands now remains unknown.\\
\\

* '''Shadow Walker''' gives her a significant Movement Speed buff when invisible.
* '''Wrist Crossbow''', her main weapon, rapidly fires energy shards.
* '''Poison Bolts''' fires three bolts that deal damage over time based on a percentage of the enemies' max health.
* '''Smoke Screen''' throws down a smoke bomb that blocks enemy vision and turns her invisible a short time. Has 2 charges.
* '''Hidden''' turns her invisible for a few seconds and increases her movement speed.
* '''Time Bomb''', her Ultimate, throws a bomb that deals massive damage and destroys enemy shields in its radius.\\
\\
Skye's Talents:
* '''Debilitate''' makes ''Poison Bolts'' deal 15% more damage and the rate at which Skye's poison does damage by 75%.
* '''Smoke and Dagger''' makes '''Smoke Screen''' cards benefit allies inside as well as heal them for 100 Health every second while within its radius. However, this eliminates Skye from using it to apply Stealth to herself.
* '''Preparation''' refills her crossbow whenever '''Hidden''' is activated, and reduces any damage taken by 75% at the cost of reducing the duration to 3 seconds max.
------

* AchillesHeel: All Champions now have an innate illuminate initiative built into them, replacing the "Illuminate" item that was scrapped during the 2024 Item store revamp, essentially meaning that Skye reveals her presence from 65 units away from any enemy player if they don't tread carefully in enemy territory, not to mention numerous characters who have reveals as part of other abilities (like Cassie's Ultimate), makes life rather troublesome for Skye, which she relies on heavily due to a lack of alternative movement abilities.
* AdultsDressedAsChildren: The Academic skin turns Skye into a music-blasting schoolgirl.
* AutomaticCrossbows: Her primary attack is a wrist-mounted one.
* ArtEvolution: [[https://twitter.com/PaladinsGame/status/1058028543924453378 Her costume was updated in Update 1.8]] that gives her a more fantasy-based design and a new wrist crossbow with WolverineClaws.
* BecomingTheCostume:

* BackgroundMusicOverride: Selecting Raeve in Maeves' skin select tab makes the music change to a unique dubstep music track.

* SurprisinglyCreepyMoment: Compared to the rest of the cast, she's one of the darker and creepier characters in the game, openly admitting to murder and has very creepy abilities. Her face is completely covered in shadow, with only her glowing pupil-less eyes being left visible, has an aggressive-sounding murder-filled voice pack, her method of attacking involves applying curses to enemies by ''violently'' stabbing a [[VoodooDoll Yokai Doll]], her glitchy and unnatural in-game movements are very different to anyone else in the roster, and the way she's presented in her character teaser as a horror villain. Kasumi also has a chance of jumpscaring the player when selected in the lobby, and her character icon is also markedly different, in that [[https://imgur.com/V9OqGmU Kasumi is reaching out towards the player with her arm up]] instead of doing an AsideGlance like everyone else does.

* YouWillNotEvadeMe: His ultimate, ''True Power'', will automatically target one enemy champion and teleport him to their location to deliver some hefty knock back and damage.

* OminousVisualGlitch: Kasumi has a habit of doing this in her animations, notably in her default emote, coming off as if she's trying to take control of the game.

* SurprisinglyCreepyMoment: Compared to the rest of the cast, she's one of the darker and creepier characters in the game, openly admitting to murder and has very creepy abilities. Her face is completely covered in shadow, with only her glowing pupil-less eyes being left visible, has an aggressive-sounding murder-filled voice pack, her method of attacking involves applying curses to enemies by ''violently'' stabbing a [[VoodooDoll Yokai Doll]], her glitchy and unnatural in-game movements are very different to anyone else in the game, and the way she's presented in her character teaser as a horror villain. Kasumi also has a chance of jumpscaring the player when selected in the lobby, her character icon is also markedly different, in that Kasumi has her arm up to reach out towards the player instead of merely doing an AsideGlance.

** Her ''Dragonborn'' skin serves as a questionably canon older more mature version of Moji who's ''extremely'' arrogant and self absorbed, with even her mount, Po-Li, being a victim of her insults.

* AchillesHeel: ''The Illuminate'' item, as well as numerous characters with reveals, makes life rather troublesome for Skye as they can almost completely negate her invisibility, which she relies on heavily due to a lack of alternative movement abilities.

** : While she has average health for a Flank, her ''Smoke Bomb'' doesn't conceal her and her allies unless they are actually inside it and enemies can see through her invisibility if they get close enough. This makes it hard for her to get out of sticky situations if she makes a mistake. However, she has a great rate of fire from close to mid range, can poison and debuff enemies with her ''Poison Bolts'', blind enemies if they in her ''Smoke Bomb'', and her ultimate can easily break enemy formations as they scramble to avoid the bomb.

** Skye was obviously intended to use her stealth options to avoid of the enemy team's notice to, well, ''flank'' the squishier Damage and Support players of the enemy team and then escape with them. Because stealth isn't actually reliable enough for her to slip in and/or escape, players prefer instead to position her nearby the rest of the team like a Damage champion, get the Debilitate talent and load up on cards to keep shooting as long as possible so as to quickly kill/force off tanks from the objective.

* TheTease: Many of her voicelines fall are flirtatious or suggestive, and it goes for both allies and enemies.

* {{Retcon}}: Originally, Talus was stated to be a young kid, which was clearly backed up by his younger, more youthful appearance; however, years later this was brought into question, as it was mentioned several times how every playable character is an adult, which confused people. Eventually, a developer mentioned that Talus is indeed supposed to be an adult, which is a little odd as doesn't really look, act, or sound the part. Vatu and Mal'Damba, the other playable Ska'drin, both have much older and more mature appearances and personalities, which really doesn;t fit with Talus' personality.

* StickyBomb: His ''Shadow Bombs'' stick to whatever they hit, expoding a third of a second after hitting.

* '''Explosive Dodge''' is an UnnecessaryCombatRoll that lets VII drop some C4 charges that automatically explode when an enemy gets too close.

* NumerologicalMotif: His name, or more likely, the callsign he's known as, is Seven. Before reaching Corvus in his teaser trailer, he shoots ''seven'' times, and he has ''seven'' reskins of his outfit that change his look in minor ways, and his Ultimate is called "Decree 77", which is double the ''seven''s.

* {{Jerkass}}: Vora is by far one of, if not the single most haughty and vile character in the game. She hates absolutely everyone, which she makes ''extremely'' clear. She only ''slightly'' respects Maeve and Skye for working alone (something she herself [[Hypocrite ironically doesn't]]) and Grohk for some reason.

--> Lovestruck skin voiced by [[Creator/SarahWilliams Sarah Anne Williams]]

* '''Billow''' causes him to turn into smoke temporarily and become untargetable.

* '''Guillotine''' makes ''Spite'' deal an extra 25% of the target's maximum health with every hit, grants Zhin damage immunity, and charges 15% faster.
* '''Yomi''' makes ''Inferno Blade'''s heavy shot pass through enemies, deal 850 damage (from 700), and removes its range limit.
* '''Smolder''' lets you heal for 33% of your maximum Health per second while in ''Billow''.\\

* ForTheEvulz: It really says a lot about the guy if his "Have fun" line is [[https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/paladins_gamepedia/6/6d/DarkLord_VGS_Emote_F.ogg "Pillage and burn!"]] Although Zhin's characterization makes it that he'd do just that when [[PragmaticVillainy it's most convenient]], but give him the opportunity and he'll relish it with gusto.[[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/paladins_gamepedia/images/0/0d/DarkLord_TR_Taunt_Directed_ying_1.ogg kill taunt towards Ying]] implies he has a hand in Human (or Elf) Trafficking too. The only noble thing we've seen him do so far is to work with other champions in the Yagorath reveal trailer (and even then, one can assume his motivations are less to help out the realm, and more to keep his business intact), but even that might factor on why Zhin is the trope: He is an evil human being that might hit too close to home, other bigger villains like Yagorath and Raum are an EldritchAbomination and a BigRedDevil respectively, creatures that might be more home in fantasy than reality.

Koga's Abilities (Normal stance):

* '''Adrenaline Junkie''' makes your weapon shots from your submachine guns restore energy[[labelnote:maths]]A full clip of SMG ammo is worth approximately 3.75s of regeneration time.[[/labelnote]].

* ArmorPiercingAttack: ''Skewer'' goes through any shield or ability that does not guarantee damage immunity, even Zhin's and Androxus' counters.

* {{Fanservice}}: His Longboard skin swaps out his regular modest clothes for swimming trunks that show off his muscular bod.

* PragmaticVillainy: For as much [[KickTheDog dog-kicking]] he has as a hobby, Zhin doesn't engage in much needless ForTheEvulz actions, but is instead more calculating in how he delivers his evil.

* ButNotTooBi: He's supposedly pansexual, but his card art only shows him hanging with women.

* CoolGuns: Rivals Viktor in terms of how many skinned guns he has.

* LampshadeHanging: [[BloodKnight Androxus,]] of all people, points out how dangerous the in-game matches are for their mounts.

* MeaningfulName: Koga is the phonetical translation for [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kōka_District,_Shiga Kōka]], a region of Japan that was famous for its guerilla warriors that would become known as ninja; fitting for a character who is meant to be a ninja. His name may also be a ShoutOut ''Anime/{{Bleach}}'' character; [[https://bleach.fandom.com/wiki/G%C5%8D_Koga Koga]], as they share similar personalities (both are stoic, [[TerseTalker quiet]] and only act and talk when needed).

** ''Cammie'' replaces Maeve with Cameron "Cammie" MacCloud from gen:LOCK.

* ExpressiveMask: Raeve Maeve's helmet has a screen that displays graphics depending on her actions, such as a CatSmile by default, gnashing teeth during prowl, and crossed out eyes when she dies.

* GoofIsNotSoft: She's very nice and firmly attempting to do what she feels is best. Doesn't stop her from turning her enemies into [[AndIMustScream sentient pieces of candy]] that her pets rip up and eat.

* ThrillSeeker: Her lore says she used to be a noble who could have had an easy and luxurious lifestyle, but she abandoned that life and became an assassin in search of excitement and adventure;

* InformedObscenity: His "Curses" line is [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/paladins_gamepedia/images/6/63/Vatu_VGS_Other_G_S.ogg "Darkness, take it!"]], which is notable for being quite similar to Corvus's voiceline for the same command ([[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/paladins_gamepedia/images/1/16/Corvus_VGS_Other_G_S.ogg "Abyss, take it!"]]), as well as for Jenos's "Mernos" skin ([[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/paladins_gamepedia/images/4/40/WWB_VGS_Astro_Skin08_61~Astro_Skin08_VGS_Other_G_S.ogg "Currents, take it!"]]); the latter two being voice by the same [=VA=]; Ricco Fajardo.

* DifficultButAwesome: While she has average health for a Flank, her ''Smoke Bomb'' doesn't conceal her and her allies unless they are actually inside it and enemies can see through her invisibility if they get close enough. This makes it hard for her to get out of sticky situations if she makes a mistake. However, she has a great rate of fire from close to mid range, can poison and debuff enemies with her ''Poison Bolts'', blind enemies if they in her ''Smoke Bomb'', and her ultimate can easily break enemy formations as they scramble to avoid the bomb.

* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: Downplayed, especially to the likes of Yagorath, but Vora's damage is not the burst-like damage flanks are known for, and in fact can actually do ''worse'' up close due to the way her basic attack functions. But to make up for this, Vora's range with her scythe is much longer than her fellow flanks.

* '''Passive - Curse''', All of her abilities can apply up to 5 stacks of Curse, for each stack, the target receives 2% less outgoing damage and takes 20% increased damage from non-ultimate abilities. Cursed enemies are revealed to Kasumi.

* '''Smoke Screen''' throws down a smoke bomb that blocks enemy vision and turns her invisible a short time.

* '''Debilitate''' makes ''Poison Bolts'' deal 40% maximum health as damage (from 10% max health) for 2 seconds (from 4 seconds).
* '''Smoke and Dagger''' makes ''Smoke Screen'' heal allies inside its radius for 400 Health every second. Also, any healing-based cards now also affect allies.
* '''Preparation''' makes killing an enemy reset all your Cooldowns and heal you for 500 Health.

* DifficultButAwesome:
** While she has average health for a Flank, her ''Smoke Bomb'' doesn't conceal her and her allies unless they are actually inside it and enemies can see through her invisibility if they get close enough. This makes it hard for her to get out of sticky situations if she makes a mistake. However, she has a great rate of fire from close to mid range, can poison and debuff enemies with her ''Poison Bolts'', blind enemies if they in her ''Smoke Bomb'', and her ultimate can easily break enemy formations as they scramble to avoid the bomb.
** With the Talent "Preparation", she gives up the bonus damage from her other Talents in exchange for completely resetting all cooldowns when she gets a kill. While it reduces her burst damage, she can become a stealth master if she gets a killstreak going.

* {{Nerf}}: Her Ultimate had to go through several heavy nerfs. Originally, it did 5000 damage over 5 seconds to anyone in range. Now, it does up to 3000 damage to anyone hit by it, and "up to" used to not exist[[labelnote: That is...]] There used to be no damage fall-off, meaning that even if you're on the very edge of the blast radius, if you're under 3001HP you're screwed. It actually has fall-off now.[[/labelnote]].

* '''Spirit Traps'' deploys up to three traps Kasumi can teleport to in order to deal damage and apply various debuffs including Curse.

* '''Yokai Doll''', her main weapon, fires auto-targeting shots and applies a curse effect, causing enemies to take more damage while dealing less themselves.
* '''Savage Tear''' deals damage to enemies and temporarily disarms targets with a full stack of curse.
* '''Spirit Lure''' deploys up to three traps Kasumi can teleport to in order to deal damage and apply various debuffs.

* '''Bitter Betrayal''', her Ultimate, causes a marked enemy to explode, firing out projectiles that apply curse to other enemies hit.\\

* '''Empowered Curse''' increases her attack and movement speed based on applied curses.
* '''Spirit Bombs''' turns her Spirit Lures into mines that can't be reactivated, exploding manually after a duration.
* '''Unfinished Business''' extends the duration of Body and Soul while healing 70% of damage taken while active.\\

->''"Will I find a worthy opponent? The anticipation's killing me."''

A nameless street rat that was brave enough to stand up against Zhin of the Thousand Hands. Impressing the crime lord, Zhin took the boy in, gave him a home, a family, and his new name: Koga; in time, he became the group's finest ninja. But over time, others in the group grew jealous of Koga, leading to them framing him, which unfortunetly, Zhin believed, his resulting fury so great Koga had no choice but to flee. Now, Koga joined the Resistance for no apparent reason while he hunts down those responsible for getting him chased out.

Koga's Abilities (Normal stance):
* Unique to Koga is that his abilities have no cooldown, instead drawing from an Energy meter that slowly builds over time, storing up to three bars.
* '''Submachine Guns''', his primary fire, fires weak bullets at a very high rate of fire.
* '''Shadow Step''' uses one Energy to turn into a cloud of smoke and dash forward, becoming untargetable in the process.
* '''Agility''' passively gives Koga the ability to wall climb. When activated, one Energy is used to temporarily boost his movement speed and jump height.
* '''Dragon Stance''' has Koga switch his guns for a set of claws, changing some of his abilities and constantly consuming Energy while active:
** '''Hellkite Claws''' replaces Submachine Guns, and launches fiery slashes.
** '''Skewer''' replaces Shadow Step, consuming all current Energy to dash forward, damaging anyone in the way.
* '''Cyclone Strike''', his Ultimate, renders him untargetable, slicing everyone within 25 feet of him to ribbons.\\

Koga's Talents:
* '''Adrenaline Junkie''' makes your weapon shots from your submachine guns restore energy[[labelnote:maths]]A full clip of SMG ammo is worth approximately 3.75s of regeneration time.[[/labelnote]].
* '''Blood Reaper''' makes ''Cyclone Strike'' deal 125% of a target's health as damage over its duration, and his Ultimate moves 25% faster.
* '''Dragon Fangs''' makes ''Dragon Stance'' no longer consume any Energy, but instead consumes 200 Health per second. It requires at least 300 Health to initiate and cancels at 15 health.\\

His champion teaser can be seen [[https://youtu.be/GYT0AQzpaNw here]]

* TheAlcoholic: His "Please" voice line is; ''[[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/paladins_gamepedia/images/a/aa/Koga_VGS_Emote_Please.ogg "Please tell me there's booze."]]'', while he implies in other lines he often goes drinking at bars.
* ArmorPiercingAttack: ''Skewer'' goes through any shield or ability that does not guarantee damage immunity, even Zhin's and Androxus' counters.
