How to play Paladin

Overview & game plan

A holy toolbox: stack buffs, survive, strike in crit windows.

If after roll 1 5× Hand for Resolute Faith! are reachable. Keep 5× Hand and reroll all dice not needed, aiming at Resolute Faith! (5 dice). If fewer than 5 matching dice remain after roll 1, switch to Righteous Prayer. Resolute Faith! deals a documented 10 damage, so the 5 committed dice stay on the table.

Statuses & timing

  • Crit, Protect, Retribution, Accuracy and Blessing of Divinity are positive statuses – no cap is recorded for them in this data source.
  • Retaliate (3 helmets + 1 prayer) deals no direct damage per the data set; it builds status/resources instead (~60% hit chance).
  • Token-Toolbox: The dataset records no explicit grants for these statuses; Retaliate has no recorded payload.
  • CP: No concrete Tithe conversion is stated without evidenced card text.
