Profile

"The Elite Knight Archetype. Possesses skills to auto-counter physical attacks as well as healing skills, making it a versatile party shield."

—Metaphor: ReFantazio

The Paladin is an Elite-tier Archetype from the Knight Lineage that is born from the nigh completed bond between the protagonist and Hulkenberg, with the Paladin as well as its sister Archetype the Dark Knight henceforth becoming available to any Archetype user that has mastered their predecessor the Magic Knight.

Once a party member reaches mastery with this Archetype, the Paladin grants a permanent bonus to their Endurance by 4.
