In order to excel at Lost Ark End game as a Paladin, you first need to know what skills to bring to each scenario. Here we break down the skills and tripods you will want to focus on in each scenario. Then you should check out the Paladin Engravings Guide.
Skill Priority in Combat
Early Game Enemies: Spin Slash > Flash Thrust
Early Bosses: Back attack with Spin Slash or Flash Thrust. Front attack with Punishment or Executor’s Sword. Then whatever is off cooldown.
Late Game Enemies: Wrath of God and Holy Explosion. Group up enemies and AoE them, then finish them off with Flash Thrust.
Late Game Bosses: Back attack with Flash Thrust then use Punishment and Executors Sword. Followed by a well timed Holy Sword.
Finally, for movement where you can’t mount use Charge and Dash Slash and then use Spacebar near the end of each skills animation to cancel it and move just slightly faster.
Stat Priority
Just equip the highest Item Lv. item you find. Focus on Agility for increased movement speed, reduced casting time, and faster skill cooldowns. Secondly, your next best stat is Specialization.
Paladin Solo Skills Build
Here’s the general strategy for Paladins Chaos Dungeons, Tower Event, and solo Quests. Focus on grouping up enemies and using AoE abilities like Heavenly Blessings, Wrath of God, and Holy Explosion. These should clear most enemies. If targets are lined up in front of you use Executor’s Sword and Holy Sword, then clean up with Flash Thrust.
You can also experiment using Holy Protection instead of Executor’s Sword to shield yourself while you cast Holy Explosion for further AoE Nuking.
Below is a solo build that focuses on clearing trash quickly.
