Paladin combines survivability and high damage in their job; their role is often leading GvG and PvP situations as a bruiser, opening up defenses. In this guide, I will cover the Last Stand build, which specializes in dealing high damage in the PvP and PvE contents while sacrificing HP.
In PvP content, Paladin dominates 3v3, 5v5, and GvG with their survivability and high damage. In MVP and Boss content, they can easily top the rank with Sacrifice damage and provide healing as well. While for farming and in the early stages as a Crusader, the Judex build is useful to farm EXP quickly.
This build requires 99 VIT to maximize damage and 99 AGI to hit faster, ideally to reach 500% ASPD. The rest of the stats points can be allocated to LUK. The reasoning behind this is that Sacrifice converts your Max HP into damage in subsequent attacks, which means the faster you attack, the more damage output you will deal.
Tips: Always turn on both Battle Chants by equipping the buff Battle Chant in one skill page and the debuff Battle Chant on another page. Equip Sacrifice in auto skills to maximize damage output.
Due to the HP loss caused by the Sacrifice skill, it is recommended to use HP-providing pets such as Sohee and Baphomet Jr., while other DPS-supporting pets like Antasha B, Shinny, Squidgette, Genesis, and Huanhuan are pretty useful to further boost the damage. Huanhuan is especially suitable for Paladin, boosting their damage and survivability at the same time.
To maximize Sacrifice's damage, use the following feathers which boost DMG, ATK, and HP:
Offensive: Time/Space > Light > Truth > Day > Grace
Defensive: Light > Truth > Divine/Nature > Terra > Virtue > Grace
Since the Last Stand Paladin relies on forced neutral Sacrifice, it benefits from the Race and Size modifier. Therefore, these statues are more suitable:
Purple Statue: Solitude
Basic Gold Statue: Weapon > Conqueror
Gold Statue: Mist/Intimidation > Relic
The most useful ones for the Last Stand Paladin are:
Sacrifice: It’s a must-have for Last Stand build, reducing HP cost and increasing Sacrifice damage.
Core Overload: increasing damage output.
Mana Length Reversal: increasing damage based on proximity, and since Paladin is melee, the closer damage is the better.
In summary, we will need to increase HP, STR, PDMG, and CRIT, which contribute to higher Sacrifice damage.
Headwear: Martin
Facewear: Any
Mouthwear: Angeling
Armour: Peco Peco
Weapon: Race + Size/Critical cards (Squidgette)
Off-hand: Arclouze
Cloak: Eclipse
Shoes: Sohee
Accessory: Muka/Mantis/Swift Mantis/Kobold
For weapon, blue spears which +15 unlocks the maximum Sacrifice.
For offhand, use the Holy Guard shield for the best survivability, while for equipment sets, Goibne gives the best HP and damage reduction.
For accessories, at the beginning, focus on getting 500% ASPD by putting AGI accessories; when it’s time, we can change to HP accessories.
The Crusader path requires us to use Judex build to farm EXP, making the Last Stand perform well in MVP or PVP contents. In order to maximize the damage output, we need to increase the following: Max HP, PDMG, PvE/PvP damage, PDMG Bonus, and CRIT. Due to the nature of Sacrifice, which requires MAX HP, Paladin can deal high damage while having high survivability in battles at the same time.
