Choose an Oath That Synergizes With Your Build

Oaths provide gameplay-altering buffs that strengthen the Paladin by enhancing specific key skills. Each Oath is tied to a specific keyword, such as Zealot or Judgement, which makes creating builds a fairly straightforward process.

Because Oaths are so powerful, they determine which set of skills the Paladin build will utilize, as they only work alongside the keyword they possess.

Best Paladin Oath

Disciple Oath

DiscipleDiscple Oath ・Casting a Disciple Skill with a cooldown grants Arbiter for 4.5 seconds.
・Upon landing, Arbiter of Justice bombards the battlefield with 10 additional Blessed Spears, making enemies Vulnerable for 4 seconds.
・While in Arbiter form, your Disciple Skills deal X% increased damage.

The Disciple Oath is shaping up to be the strongest Oath yet. It allows the paladin to enter Arbiter form without manually casting the Arbiter of Justice ultimate skill.

The Arbiter form enhances the Paladin's mobility while amplifying the damage output of Disciple skills, making it the optimal Oath for Paladins.
