Dredge is a Damage Champion in Paladins, added on September 27th, 2018.

Lore

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

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

General

Lore

  • 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.
  • Makoa obtained his anchor from Dredge's ship, as revealed here.
  • Dredge's crew was also turned into undead alongside him, as can be seen in Dredge's card Sea Dogs.
