Paladin Utilizing Preemptive Strike in a Chaos Dungeon
Skills To Use In Chaos Dungeons As A Paladin
In the initialzone, move around and avoid harm until all enemies have spawned. Group them up and blast them away by using the big-hitters likeHeavenly BlessingsandHoly Explosion. Both of these skills should be able to one-hit kill normal and even named enemies. The remaining skills can also generally one-hit kill normal enemies.
In the second zone, gather the Named enemies and useHeavenly BlessingsandHoly Explosionto kill 2 or 3 of them. Defeating Named enemies reduces your cooldowns by enough that you should be able to use them again for the next round of Named enemies. Utilize all the other abilities to eliminate the remaining normal enemies or wait until the next Named enemies have appeared to hit them withcollateral damage.
For theChallenge-typeenemy at the end of this zone, use yourAwakening Skill:Alithanes’s Judgmentto easily clear it.
The following table goes over the best Paladin skills you’ll want to consider. The skills themselves are sorted by how well they perform against specific targets in order from lowest to highest HP (Normal, Named, Challenge, and Boss).
