Dredge is one of the Champions in Paladins.

Lore

Admiral Dredge ruled the eight oceans as the Realm’s most feared pirate, until one final treasure led to his doom. Dredge stole the Warder's Relic from the Paladins, but could not tame the dragons’ might. His ship was destroyed, his crew scattered, and Dredge sank to certain death in the the ocean’s depths. The Abyss intervened and bore Dredge back into the Realm of the living. Now the undead admiral sails the seas again. And none will take his treasure.

Summary

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.

Skills

	Cursed Howitzer Area Damage Every 0.7s fire an explosive projectile that deals 850 damage. Reloading fires a slow traveling projectile that deals 1000 damage.
Details Has an ammo count of 9. Has a reload time of 2.2s. Dredge takes a percentage of the damage when hit by his own explosion. Projectiles always bounce off of floors in the same way no matter the height or angle and explode after 0.75s. Reload projectile is fired when 80% of reload is complete. Abyssal reload doesn't bounce off of surfaces.

	Broadside Area Damage Fire three projectiles that each deal 950 Damage after a 2s fuse.
Details Acts as a weapon attack. Fuse time begins when Broadside touches a floor. There is a 0.15 second delay between each Broadside projectile. There is a 1 second lockout after using Broadside before either Cursed Howitzer or Broadside can be used again. Dredge doesn't take any damage when hit by his own Broadside.

Details Has a 0.75s windup.

	Shortcut   Deploy up to two portals that you can travel between.	1
Details Teleporting through a Shortcut removes the one at the exit point and incurs a 10 second cooldown on the skill. It's not affected by Chronos item.

Shortcuts emit sound. Teleporting through Shortcut cleanses Polymorph.
