Lore[edit | edit source]
Admiral Judd Roberts ruled the eight oceans as the Realm's most-feared pirate, until one final treasure led to his doom. The admiral stole the Warders' relics from the Resistance, but could not tame the dragons' might. His ship was destroyed, his crew scattered, and he sank to certain death in the oceans' depths.
The Abyss intervened and bore the admiral — now Admiral Dredge — back into the Realm of the living. Now the undead pirate travels the seas again, and no soul, living or dead, will take his treasure from him.
Summary[edit | edit source]
Dredge is a damage champion, capable of outputting massive area damage from long range and zoning control on the map. With his Cursed Howitzer, Dredge fires grenades that arch before falling. He can easily apply heavy pressure on the point or in flanking lanes using both his left click and right click. Enemies caught within proximity of his grenades will take heavy damage based on their distance from the explosives. Upon reloading his gun, it will shoot out a lobbing projectile that deals huge damage if it manages to direct hit an enemy. His harpoon can be used to slow enemies who get too close or to finish off fleeing enemies who manage to get out of range of his main attack. Dredge may also summon two individual shortcuts, which he can use to teleport between the portals, allowing him to escape deadly threats or simply reposition himself. His ultimate, Kraken, summons the destructive powers of the Abyssal Kraken, creating a large sphere wherever he points, which deals massive damage to any enemy stuck within its area after a brief delay. Dredge can become very vulnerable in close range against flanks if he misses his harpoon or is found without a nearby shortcut to escape through.

Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Before the Abyss claimed his soul, his human name was Judd Roberts. He was also known as Admiral Dredge, as stated in the Dark Tides lore cinematic, the latter likely being a title.
- However, according to a loading screen tip, Dredge is also revealed to be the name of the Abyssal Lord controlling Judd, it being the one in control of his body. The tip can be found here. It is unknown if this is a coincidence, retcon, or if the Abyssal Lord named itself after Judd's title, similarly to Abby taking the name of the village of Seris.
- Despite being stated as being within Judd, the kraken is still seemingly present on Dredge's weapon, as well as in Marauder's Port all at the same time. It is unknown if this is an error or some type of ability.
- Makoa obtained his anchor from Dredge's ship, as revealed here.
- During a brief period when Dredge was put in charge of the official Paladins Twitter account, it was revealed here that his favorite meal is spam, particularly fried with eggs.
- Dredge's crew was also turned into undead alongside him, as can be seen in Dredge's card Sea Dogs.
- Marauder's Port currently serves as Dredge's lair, as revealed here.
- Based on a dev statement revealing Viktor to be around 5'9 or 175cm tall, it was discovered that Dredge would be around 5'7 or 171cm tall.
- Dredge appears in Raum's card Sinister Allies alongside Seris.
- Dredge's Jolly Jig emote is a recreation of a dance from the song "You are a Pirate" by Lazy Town, as can be seen here.
- His ultimate voice line "Release the Kraken!" (▶️) may be a reference to the 2010 film Clash of the Titans.
- The line "Dead men tell no tales." (▶️) is a reference to the movie Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.
- Eight Oceans Io, Eight Oceans Ruckus, and Eight Oceans Maeve may come from the eight seas Dredge mentions in one of his Top Play lines "Ye been graced by the scourge of the eight seas." (▶️).
- According to lines from Knightmare Fernando "Ahahaha yes. Dredge has given me new life." (▶️), Day Walker Vivian "Where's that blasted captain left me this time?" (▶️), Death Speaker Ying "Dredge, you dare summon me?" (▶️), and Full Moon Viktor "Eeh... I'll make sure Dredge suffers for this..." (▶️), Dredge is able to summon any of the Abyssal Echoes. However, it is unknown if this ability is canon.
Buccaneer
- A buccaneer is a type of pirate.
Merrymaker
- This skin is based on Santa and Christmas.
- Merrymaker Lian is visible in the background of this skin's splash art.
- The line "Your nose ain't red enough." (▶️) is a reference to Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
- One of this skin's jokes "You'll never guess what's gets stuck in my beard! Cookies, candy canes, small street urchins... That damn thing's a mess!" (▶️) might possibly be a reference to Stickybeard from Codename Kids Next Door.
- This skin's "You rock!" (▶️ ▶️ ▶️) lines are a reference to a line from The Oprah Winfrey Show.
- This skin shares its theme with A-bomb-inable Bomb King, Merrymaker Lian, Merrymaker Evie, Merrymaker Maeve, Sugar Plum Willo, and Kraumpus Raum.
Omega
- This skin shares its theme with Omega Sha Lin, Omega Terminus, Omega Zhin, Omega Sha Lin, Omega Vivian, Omega Koga, Omega Makoa, and Omega Imani.
