· 'Archangel' is the core skill that activates all damage sources and applies Vulnerable.
· The 'Wolf' summoned by the 'Nal' rune continuously applies Vulnerable to enemies and freezes or slows them, aiding in resource management and combat.

2. 💥 Core Offensive Abilities for Overwhelming Damage
· Offensive abilities are primarily enhanced through various gear and stats such as 'Arcane Power', 'Starless Crown', 'Celestial Tempest', and 'Hellfire'.
· 'Arcane Power' provides 70% increased damage, and 'Starless Crown' grants 75% increased damage to Vulnerable enemies, which is continuously applied to all enemies on screen.
· 'Hellfire' has a stacking mechanic that might limit its use in boss fights, but it provides a powerful damage amplification effect during general mob clearing.
· The 'Redirected Force' ability, previously exclusive to the 'Soulbind' class, is now available to Paladins. It converts successful blocks into critical strike damage increase, allowing for a sustained 180% damage amplification effect with nearly 100% block chance.
· 'Arcane Power' and 'Starless Crown' provide additional damage amplification effects.

3. 💎 Resource Management and Survivability Maximization Strategies
· For resource management during the leveling phase, you can use the 'Lucky Hit' option on accessories to recover resources.
· Alternatively, using 'Umbral' with the 'Nal' rune to immobilize enemies and generate resources is also a good method.
· In the mid-game, 'Lucion's Crown' can significantly increase damage, but it also increases resource consumption, so you need to offset this by adding the 'Lucky Hit' option to your accessories.
· In the endgame, equip 'Lucion's Crown' on your amulet and use the 'Starless Crown' ring to reduce the burden of resource management. This way, using only two 'Lucky Hit' options is sufficient, and you can allocate the remaining slots to additional damage options like 'Paladin Damage' or 'Critical Strike Damage'.
· For defensive capabilities, utilize the 'Barrier' ability and 'Iron Skin' to increase defense. The 'Barrier' ability provides an additional defense increase upon successful block, and 'Iron Skin' increases block chance.
· Be cautious as the 'Thorn Armor' ability may not function correctly due to a current bug. Instead, it's advisable to utilize other defense-related abilities like 'Master of Angels' or 'Indomitable'.
