New Champion: Betty la Bomba
Today, make way for Betty la Bomba, latest Damage Champion, Bomb Queen, and Queen of the Realm of Paladins!
Betty la Bomba had it all. The brains, the looks, the power. Yet she didn’t expect her newly-created bomb to develop a mind of its own – and become Bomb King. Today Betty reestablishes herself as the Bomb Queen, the rightful ruler of the realm. Nothing will stand in the way of her gadgets and explosives.
Betty la Bomba Ability Breakdown
When she’s not firing her dual-mode grenade launcher or deploying entire bags of bombs, you can see Betty la Bomba riding a giant rocket with her ultimate ability.
Players who like high-risk high-reward Damage Champions are going to love Betty. Rather than just constantly spraying bullets, she sees bigger and aims for devastating explosions that can damage several Champions at once. With good timing and execution, Betty la Bomba is expert at securing the objective in Siege, Paladins’ most competitive mode.

Monstercat is one of electronic music's most influential independent record labels. Founded in Canada in 2011, Monstercat has since expanded its global footprint with three offices across Vancouver, Los Angeles and Singapore. Leading the movement towards artist sustainability, its mission has remained the same: to empower a creative and passionate community of artists and fans through innovation.
Championing a cadre of world-renowned artists including Marshmello, Kaskade, Slushii, and Vicetone, Monstercat celebrated over 4.5 Billion audio streams in 2021. With six releases a week across its Uncaged, Instinct, and Silk brands, Monstercat has topped radio and streaming charts worldwide, offering a diverse range of genres including bass, dance, pop, house, chill & electronic.
Beyond recorded music, Monstercat channels the undeniable power of its brand into live events, merchandising, gaming partnerships, digital collectibles, and sync deals. Monstercat has hosted stages and events at notable international festivals including Tomorrowland, Amsterdam Dance Event, and Miami Music Week, spanning over 100 events across 16 countries collectively. Monstercat also holds its own homegrown festival, Compound, which draws thousands of fans to Vancouver annually in celebration of community, music, art, and more.
Monstercat’s live radio program ‘Call of the Wild’ boosts the signal even further, reaching 1.3 Million listeners weekly through its syndication partnerships across 30+ global networks, including SiriusXM and leading livestreaming platform Twitch. In 2021, the label introduced Monstercat Silk Showcase, which features mixes from a rotating cast of artists across progressive & deep house, chillout, trance, and more. The stream receives over 100K downloads per month on Apple Podcasts and is syndicated to Digitally Imported and various other internet and FM stations.

Within the work of sync and partnerships, Monstercat has redefined music licensing for content creators and major brands. Undertaking co-branded soundtracks, in-game activations, and collaborations with game publishers and titles - including Epic/Psyonix (Fortnite, Rocket League), Roblox, Hi-Rez Studios (SMITE), Amanotes, and Beat Games (Beat Saber) - Monstercat offers curated solutions that excite and fuel the gaming community. Additionally, Monstercat supports content creators with its music licensing program Monstercat Gold, which allows subscribers to choose from thousands of claim-free songs across the label’s ever-growing library, for use in livestream and video content.
With the firm belief that digital collectibles have the power to create long-term artist sustainability, Monstercat is continuously identifying opportunities to innovate across the metaverse. As one of the first record labels to enter the NFT space, Monstercat has generated multiple successful collections this year, splitting earnings equitably with the respective visual artists and musicians.
Backed by passionate employees, driven artists, and the dedication of fans worldwide, Monstercat proves that independent labels have the ability to reshape and reimagine the music industry landscape.
