The Paladin is the Page branch of the Warrior class, specializing in elemental charges and strong defensive capabilities. Paladins bring Blast for bossing, Heaven's Hammer for mob clearing, and elemental versatility for exploiting weaknesses.

Overview

Strengths

• Elemental charges - Fire, Ice, Thunder charges exploit monster weaknesses for massive damage
• Heaven's Hammer - Heaven's Hammer reduces all mobs to 1 HP, enabling easy grinding
• Tanky - Guardian blocks attacks, high defense, Achilles (Guardian) reduces damage with shield
• Party utility - Threaten debuffs mobs, elemental charges provide flexibility

Weaknesses

• Slow 2nd job - Uses Power Strike/Slash Blast like all warriors until 3rd job
• Charge management - Must swap charges based on monster elements, more active play
• Lower raw DPS - Compared to Hero, single-target damage is lower

AP Build

Same as all warriors: STR 13 start, +4 STR / +1 DEX, cap DEX ~50-60.

Skill Build

Level	SP Allocation

Explanation

Fire Charge first because it has the highest raw damage multiplier. Ice Charge second for freeze crowd-control. Thunder Charge third (useful at Ghost Ship). Charged Blow needs all three charges to be effective. Choose charge order based on your training location - if you're fighting fire-weak mobs, prioritize Fire. Skip Shield Mastery (Shield Mastery).
