Description
Paladins are versatile units that can serve as both offensive units and support units. They possess a broadsword and high Attack to back it up. They also use light magic in battle, and so can use healing spells or ranged magic attacks to support allies and have solid Magic Attack to support it. Paladins also have solid Defense, with their main weaknesses lying in their average Agility and Magic Defense that can cause them to take considerable damage from enemy magic-users.

Piercing Light: The Paladin conjures a magic light that illuminates even the darkest of places, and can cure Blindness in allies.* TP Cost: 30

Overview
Paladins are excellent allies to have and are useful for any campaign or battle thanks to their solid offensive and defensive stats.

Darkness Purge is only useful against enemies that use dark magic and increases the Paladin's defensive stats and Agility.

The Divine Barrier skill is great to have if facing lots of dark magic or death magic wielding enemies, as the Divine Barrier will completely block these magic attacks from hitting the Paladin and any allies that stand behind the Paladin.

Piercing Light will illuminate even the darkest of places, making it a good skill to have when entering and exploring caves, dungeons, or other dark places. The skill will also cure allies of the Blindness status ailment, allowing them to effectively participate in a battle again if they have been inflicted with it.

Notable Paladins
Isidorus is a Paladin for the kingdom of Gavainselle and is the partner of the Pegasus Knight Sir Nimbus. Together the two of them have foiled plots around the kingdom of Gavainselle, namely an underground bandit ring and an attempted assassination of the king by the royal guard Dalton. Isidorus himself proved to be a radical and reckless yet powerful warrior, tending to attack first and ask questions later. The Paladin executed a critical hit on the Guardian Dalton and sliced the nipples off of a messenger for the bandit ring, earning him titles such as 'Isidorus the Nipple-Cutter' and 'Isidorus the Savage'.
