Attributes

Paladin is the advanced upgrade of Knight; a hybrid frontline class that uses INT and VIT for holy damage, and STR for physical skills.

Primary Attributes
VIT	Core stat for survivability and frontline presence. Raises HP and defenses, and is a key damage stat for many Paladin skills that scale with VIT.
INT	Core magical damage stat for Paladin’s holy abilities. Together with VIT, it increases the power of hybrid spells and support skills.
STR	Core physical stat for weapon skills. Boosts melee ATK and strengthens Paladin abilities that scale with STR.
Secondary Attributes
DEX	Important for landing hits reliably. Improves accuracy and provides a small boost to ASPD for smoother attack strings.
AGI	Allows the Paladin to attack faster. Raises ASPD and helps with more aggressive or evasive frontline builds.
LUK	Supports physical-oriented builds. Improves crit-related effects and can enhance certain offensive Paladin setups.
