Hero Skills
All character skills are focused on hitting, building power and dealing devastating damage. Proper use of skills will help you defend well in the lane and go on the counteroffensive until complete victory.
Passive Skill - Champion Stance
The passive ability builds up charges while Paquito damages enemies with basic attacks or other abilities. When the number of charges reaches 4, it activates Champion Stance and the next skill is enhanced. His cooldown is reset.
Skill XNUMX - Power Left
Paquito stabs the enemy in front of him, generating a divine shield. The weakest ability of the fighter, but gives him more survivability. By improving Champion Stances the damage from the skill increases, and the shield absorbs more damage from outside.
It is necessary to cast the ability almost close to the enemy character, so as not to miss. It is worth noting that shields can be stacked due to a passive skill.
Second Skill - Sudden Damage
Paquito quickly rushes forward, dealing a lot of damage at the place of movement. It is important to remember that damage is only dealt at the location of movement. On the way to this place, even if there was an enemy character standing there, it will not be applied. Pumping is a priority, since it is sudden damage gives the hero mobility, allowing him to quickly get to the epicenter of events, or move through walls.
By activating the Champion's Stance, the damage from use is increased.
Ultimate - Knockout Punch
Paquito pushes the heroes on his way to a certain location, hits the area with his fist, slows down everyone in it, and returns. Damage from the ability is dealt in two stages: upon collision on the path and at the location of movement.
From the ultimate, the fighter has the highest damage, so it is important for them not to miss in a team battle. From a passive skill in the target area, Paquito performs an uppercut that deals increased damage and knocks enemies into the air, stunning them for 1 second.
With the skillful use of Knockout Kick, you can drag the enemy under the tower. You should think about the distance and place of the push, then the enemy hero will receive damage from the tower and, most likely, go to respawn.
Best Emblems
The best emblems for Paquito are Assassin emblems. They give the hero additional adaptive attack and penetration, and also increase movement speed. Such an increase will allow you to comfortably stand on the lane or in the forest, and due to penetration, enemies will die faster. Thanks to the colossal number of physical damage, the character will constantly heal and survive even in the most difficult situations on the battlefield.

Suitable spells
3 spells are great for the character, the choice of which varies depending on the situation in the match, the peak of the enemies and the player's skills.
Retribution - for a successful game in the forest (together with the enchanted mount in the assembly).- Cara - an excellent spell for finishing off enemies. If the enemy player does not die from the procast, you can send him to the tavern with a finishing move and continue the battle.
- Flash — allows you to retreat from the battlefield if Paquito misses with a skill or doesn’t have enough damage. Great for those who have recently purchased a character and are learning to play it.

How to play Paquito
Paquito combines survivability with devastating damage. Often, a fighter is in the lane as an offlaner, but among experienced gamers, playing through the forest is also practiced.
Beginning of the game
In the early game, Paquito farms in lane and gains experience by leveling up. We do the leveling of skills in a variety of ways: the first ability will allow you to play more aggressively, and the second skill will add a little security to the hero due to mobility. The shield can absorb a large amount of damage, and while the opponents are recharging, you should gain valuable experience and swing.
Mid game
The mid game for Paquito is the most successful time, depending on how much the player was able to farm in the lane. Due to the small cooldown of abilities and the upgrade of skill cooldowns from the passive, the fighter can play aggressively and help allies in all lanes. Due Ax of Bloodthirst the fighter will constantly heal and get less on respawn.
late game
Paquito's feature lies in his early aggression and dealing devastating damage to enemies. The hero stands perfectly in the lane and drives away any characters from the tower. The building he is protecting falls later than the others. The downside is that all the power starts to dry out towards the end of the game. If the match drags on, opponents no longer feel the superiority of this fighter. It is important to help the team and participate in team battles in order to kill the Lord, demolish the towers and destroy the opponent's throne.
Try to set up ambushes in the grass for enemy shooters and mages. This is very important in the later stages of the game, since these characters are the main enemy power.
Conclusions
Paquito is a great character with high mobility, attack speed and a lot of health. Despite the fact that the hero is weak in the late game, many users love to play for him. The hero is perfect for playing in ranked mode, especially in conjunction with experienced teammates.
1.Get passive.
2. Straighten your arms and, aiming the skill, kill a solo target (thin)
2-2-1-3-2. There is zero chance of survival if your arms are straight.
3. If you don’t hit with skill number 2, then you can leave with it, and if necessary, use skill 1 to get a shield.
Fun combinations on paquito in exp.
Definitely a flick.
When you see the enemy’s low HP and, for example, an attempt to teleport.
Flick +2 (reinforced) will help you and use it to get out from under the tower and use 1 skill for the shield.
Paquito is a pretty strong hero if you know him well, and understand when and at what moments to use skills. I have more than 1k games on it, and I can’t understand why it only has a D rank in the “tier list”. After all, even in the late game, it can take a lot of impact (unless of course you play on the tank) of mages, shooters and some killers for 3 skills. But I agree that, in the late game, he has a small survival rate, one slightest mistake costs his life.
For 10-20 games, you can understand this hero on some important things (when, where and how) And against whom to take. If the opponent has a lot of fat, then there will be no impact as such (only if not in the early game), it often depends on the situation and you should not take it on CD for all games.
I want to add that he is not a boring Persian, all games are varied due to skills and combinations (although often repeated combinations)
