Buck ▶️ is a Flank Champion in Paladins, added on November 17th, 2015.

Lore[ | ]

This is Buck's official bio currently found in his champion page in-game.


Buck's fighting style is informed by his diverse and complicated story, and is just as unique and esoteric. Pulling from his past experiences in the Thousand Hands Guild, he effectively combines them the self-discipline of a devout monk, clever ambush tactics commonly used by underworld thugs, and the skills and weaponry of a front-line soldier into something more than the sum of its parts.

Once a loyal member of the Sentinels, he has returned to Crosswind Hold to join the Resistance in their struggle against the Magistrate. Now, he works with various friends and foes alike to support the Paladins & fight back against both his former groups.

This is an unofficial version of Buck's bio intended to more clearly present all currently known information regarding him. Sources can be found here.


Originally a member of the Thousand Hands criminal empire, Buck would eventually leave and become a member of the Magistrate and their elite military group known as the Sentinels. Following the group's disastrous final mission and now finding himself broken without a purpose, Buck left once again, eventually climbing Ascension Peak and becoming a devoted monk, where he would later meet Jenos upon his return, and be shown the various cosmic wonders he had seen while in the cosmos, as well as a dark threat that would one day threaten the Realm. Following this, Buck would join the Resistance for unknown reasons.

After the defeat of Yagorath, Buck would join the New Resistance for similarly unclear reasons.

This was Buck's in-game bio prior to the The Damned Frontier update. It's no longer considered canon.


Buck's story is just as diverse and complicated as his fighting style, as one is the direct result of the other. Pulling from those experiences, he effectively combines the self-discipline of a devout monk, clever ambushes commonly used by underworld thugs, and the tactics and weaponry of a front-line soldier.

Once a loyal member of the Magistrate's own elite fighting group he has now returned to where it all began, Crosswind Hold, to join the Resistance in their struggle against the Magistrate.

Summary[ | ]

Buck is a flank champion with an emphasis on close-quarters combat and hit-and-run strategies. His Shotgun shoots shrapnel that deals high damage at close range. Net Shot allows Buck to slow down his targets, making them easy prey. Recovery restores a large amount of health after a short channeling time. Buck's movement skill, Heroic Leap, lets him to cover incredible distances in a very short amount of time. His ultimate skill, Buck Wild, grants him infinite ammo and a huge boost to attack speed. However he lacks the burst potential of most other flankers, and is very reliant on his abilities to be able to do well in fights.

Trivia[ | ]


Lore

  • Buck was formerly a member of the Thousand Hands.[1] Following this, he was also a member of the Magistrate and Sentinels.[2]
  • The constellations Jenos uses for his Astral Mark and Void Grip abilities appear when Buck uses Recovery and his ultimate Buck Wild respectively.[3][4]
  • Based on a dev statement revealing Viktor to be around 5'9 or 175cm tall and comparing it to model sizes in-game and out of game, it was discovered that Buck would be around 6'7 or 204cm tall.


Cameos

Buck appears in the following content:


References

  • One of Buck's voice lines "I am the champion!" (▶️) is a reference to the song "We Are The Champions" by Queen.
  • One of Buck's introduction lines "I'm here to kick butt and chew bubblegum! And properly dispose of the gum in a designated waste container." (▶️) is likely a reference to a line from the 1988 film They Live. It could also be a reference to a similar line from Duke Nukem.
  • Buck's ultimate voice line "I am the juggernaut!" (▶️) could be a reference to a phrase associated with the Juggernaut from Marvel Comics.
  • One of Buck's taunts "Check yourself before you wreck yourself!" (▶️) is a reference to the song "Check Yourself" by Ice Cube.
  • The line "Are you not entertained?" (▶️) is a reference to the movie Gladiator.

Other

  • Buck was one of the first playable characters in Paladins.
  • Buck and Bomb King share the same actor, Joshua Tomar
  • Buck is notable in the regard that while every other champion that first released alongside Paladins received some form of alpha lore, Buck would be the only character that never did. This continued after the alpha lore was removed, with Buck being the only character to lack a title while new champions received theirs right away. Eventually though, Buck would receive a title.[5][6]
  • Buck had several icon concepts prior to the final choice being settled on.[7]
  • In older versions of Paladins, there used to be a number of additional recolors of default champions. For Buck, these recolors included the Alpine and Mesa skins.
  • Having been present in the mobile game 'Paladins Strike', Buck received unique skins exclusive to Strike. These skins include Abomination, Cerulean Tech, Hazard Tech, Hunter, and Lionheart.
