Predecessor: GIDEON Guide | Best Build

Predecessor marks the return of a beloved MOBA game that was not given enough time to flourish properly. After its shut down in 2018, Paragon players scattered throughout the gaming world, searching for something that will scratch that itch that Paragon left behind. Some have found it, some have not. But now, with Predecessor, which is essentially a reboot of Paragon, Paragon players have found their way back home to the game they love. While it may be under a different name, it is still Paragon. In this guide, we focus on Gideon, a mage character.

GIDEON Guide – Predecessor

Gideon is a mage character, meaning he can do some magic to fight against his enemies. As you can tell, a mage can only be used correctly if you utilize his Ability Power, which is much stronger compared to his Basic Attack. His Mobility is also a big plus, but that brings down his Durability dramatically. Gideon is essentially a glass cannon: very strong, but easily beatable if attacked.

To play as Gideon, you need to learn his moveset and skills. Here is what you need to know in order to play as Gideon:

• Cosmic Power – Damaging an Enemy Hero with an ability empowers Gideon’s next basic attack for 4 seconds, allowing him to attach a cosmic tether to his target. Tethered enemies are Slowed by 20% and receive (%69%) magical damage over 3 seconds.
• Portal Blast – Ranged basic attack dealing physical damage.
• Void Breach – Launch forward a comet, dealing 90 / 125 / 160 / 195 / 230 (+60%) magical damage to all enemies in its path and Slowing them by 20% for 1.5 seconds. The comet explodes upon hitting an Enemy Hero, Terrain, or at max range.
• Cosmic Rift – Rip down a meteor from the sky, dealing 90 / 145 / 200 / 255 / 310 (+70%) magical damage to all enemies caught in the area of impact.
• Torn Space – Leap through a portal in spacetime, appearing at the target location. The portal remains open for 5 seconds. Any Hero can jump through the portal after Gideo, but Enemy Heroes are Slowed by 50% for 1.5 seconds when they pass through.
• Black Hole – Unleash a black hole beneath Gideon that slowly drags nearby enemies towards its center, dealing 540 / 810 / 1,080 (+240%) magical damage over a 3.5 second channel.
