“	The Paladin was born to lead, as well as protect those who cannot fend for themselves. Armed with a righteous sword and divine shield, they stand proudly before their enemies, who will soon enough be brought to justice.	”
–Official description

The Paladin class is the primary tanking class in Astral Tale.

It can be unlocked via Paladin Qualification, a rare drop from Beryl, the final boss of Bluemoon Sanctuary. Beryl only drops the item in the dungeon's Party version. Prior to the relaunch of Astral Tale, the Paladin class was unlockable by completing the main quest Lv20. Mounting Ordeals.

Leveling up the Paladin class yields Oathtaker reputation. At level 80, a Paladin may awaken into a Templar.
