Insert Insect is a playable hero in Paradigm. It is a paid downloadable character and is the 35th character to be added to the game.
==Background==
Insert Insect is not actually one character, but a whole species of creatures that originally lived in the Paradigm. They have the power of Insertion, allowing them to insert various types of cubes with different protective effect, allowing them to defend themselves and survive. They are unable to speak besides making cricket sounds, unfortunately.
They are fairly docile and were found to be easy to tame. Some people noticed potential in this and made one of them fight in the Paradigm, explaining why it's here in the first place.
==Description==
Insert Insect's general design is similar to a cyan grasshopper with shorter and rounder proportions. It has no visible mouth and instead of having large grasshopper eyes, it has two oval black eyes. There are two cubes at the tip of it's antennae. It has two rectangles for wings, but it cannot fly with them. It is one of the smaller characters, it's height beign the one of a young kid's knee, and it isn't that long either.
==Gameplay==
Insert Insect is able to fight, but it is not particularily strong. Instead, it supports the team with the various cubes it can use. It is fast, but also pretty frail. He does not have a physical attack, but his Heavy Attack has a very low range.
Insert Insect is generally considered a terrible pick in maps like Dark Matter Generator and maps focused on eliminating members of the other team. However, he is an excellent pick in maps like Island With Legs where he can use his first Special Ability to block access to the control points, and can use his second special to break into them in more open maps.
Insert Insect isn't completely unviable in elimination maps, even if he is certainly not the best choice. His Paradigm Shift can greatly assist his team. He can also be a nuisance with his Quick Attack, and can potentially save teamates with his special abilities.
