Class Details
|
The Paladin is a Tier 3 class that can be unlocked at level 35. You could alternatively purchase this class for 
400.
Overview[]
Being one of the first classes to access a sword and shield, it shares a similar branch to Warlord. While that class provides damage buffs and stuns mobs with many of its skills, Paladin focuses on the defensive and supportive playstyle. It's very well sustainable as you can block oncoming attacks, heal allies, and provide defense buffs to help push forward. While those feats are great on its own, Paladin has one of the highest damage boosting skills through the use of Light Sword.
Tips and Tricks[]
- Courtesy to the recent buff, you can utilize the defense status it gains through Divine Retribution/Ring of Justice and mix it with the Giga Bite pet ability, ultimately nullifying the need of specific stats or pet abilities.
- Because of these new feats and already existing abilities, Paladin is now considered the most tankiest class.
- Paladin and Warlord's block ability allows it to survive most one-hit attacks excluding Ignis' Heated Torment. Its reduction will not work for attacks that inflict percentage damage relative to your max health. Falling off a obstacle for example.

Trivia[]
- Divine Retribution's damage is not boosted from Light Sword's damage buff, which this was intentional to balance the ability. The only way to buff this skill's damage would be using a pet or different class skill that casts vulnerability or applies a damage buff.
- In addition, your pet skill will also not deal more damage.
- Vampiric perk can grant more recovered HP with Light Sword.
- Prior to the buff, Paladin was a lot more weaker and wasn't a recommended class in Tier 3 since its abilities and heal were outdated- which this wasn't anywhere as better with how pointless healing was overall if the pet's active skill could provide better healing than the class itself.
