Enshrouded best Paladin build

Paladin is not one of the 12 official classes in Enshrouded, but there is some specific gear designed for this role, which means you can still achieve a Paladin-style build through multiclassing in other classes. Since the Paladin class doesn’t officially exist, carefully constructing a strong build is extremely crucial if you want to play like a true Paladin.

Best Paladin skills in Enshrouded

Since you don’t have an actual designated Paladin skill tree to choose from, you’ll primarily be dipping into both the blue, which are the intelligence-based classes, and red, which are the strength-based classes, to craft a strong Paladin build. Here are the best Paladin skills to select.

  • Blink
    • Cost: Four points
    • Effect: Swaps your regular roll dodge for a short-range teleport move.
  • Blink Attack
    • Cost: Two points
    • Effect: When you Blink into an opponent, an explosion that deals fire damage is ignited.
  • Emergency Blink
    • Cost: Two points
    • Effect: Grants you the ability to Blink even while stunned.
  • Battle Heal
    • Cost: Three points
    • Effect: When you deal damage with a melee-based weapon, five percent of your maximum health is restored.
  • Arcane Deflection
    • Cost: Two points
    • Effect: When you successfully parry an attack, you gain 20 mana.
  • Water Aura
    • Cost: Three points
    • Effect: All players within 15 meters are healed a specific amount based on your Intelligence. One health is restored for every two points of Intelligence.
  • Merciless Attack
    • Cost: Two points
    • Effect: Unlocks the ability to perform a strong attack that deals high damage against an opponent you’ve overpowered.

While these are the best skills overall, you can easily dive more into damage dealing or magic healing if you prefer a Paladin build that leans more one way or the other. You’ll still be a very strong and flexible force either way, so feel free to personalize your build to suit the playstyle you want.

To be a successful Paladin, you want to prioritize Constitution, Intelligence, and Strength as your three main statistics. As you select skills in the skill tree, you’ll come across specific ones that enhance all three of these statistics, so be sure to sometimes raise these while also grabbing the previously mentioned best skills.

Best Paladin weapons in Enshrouded

To maximize the strength of your Paladin build, you need to use some of the best weapons in Enshrouded, which primarily means choosing either a melee or magic-based weapon for a Paladin build. Since a Paladin is a unique magic and melee combination of a class, you have a lot of freedom when it comes to choosing a weapon, but the overall strongest choices are as follows.

WeaponType
Luminous WandWand
Jezmina’s ApotheosisAxe
Shroud WeaverStaff
Lightforged AxeAxe

Although it’s not one of the top choices overall, a good early-game option for a Paladin is the Wailing Blade, which is a very solid and easy-to-obtain Legendary weapon. You might also want to grab some kind of shield or ward, such as the Shield of Light or the Ghostly Ward to enhance your Paladin build further. The protective force you choose is a lot more flexible than your weapon and should be selected based on what flows best with the rest of your build.
