There are many heroes to choose from in Blizzard’s Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft. Today, we have a brief 101 on the Paladin.

Like Druids, Paladins are very well-rounded. Unlike Druids, they rely heavily on minions and hoping the opponent will do what you want them to do, rather than doing things directly.  

This is because Paladins are highly defensive heroes. They have more instances of the Divine Shield keyword, which absorbs the first instance of damage dealt to a minion without harming it. Used with strong Taunt minions, this can force the enemy to burn powerful spells or creatures on relatively weak opponents.  

This class also has the Reinforce hero ability, which summons a 1/1 minion to the field. Because of this, Paladins never lack for at least some board presence and damage ability. This is especially devious with a Paladin’s high number of buff spells like Blessing of Kings.  

Best if you like: always having minions, buff spells.
