Odin: Valhalla Rising, a dynamic and engaging mobile RPG, has captivated many players with its vast, immersive world and robust combat mechanics. For players who favor playing as a Paladin, a highly versatile class that excels in both offense and defense, the journey to mastering the Paladin build is an exciting yet challenging one.

This article will dive into how to optimize your Paladin build, from gear and summons to skills, runes, and dungeons.

Account Overview: The Basics

At the heart of any RPG is your character's progress, and it's no different for your Paladin in Odin: Valhalla Rising. The goal of any player is to constantly push their account forward and reach new heights. At level 65 with a combat power of 24.2k, you'll be farming in B7 Prison Dungeon, a key place for grinding experience and items. The focus here is not only on maximizing damage but also on providing valuable support to the team.

Your build will change regularly, especially when you are not the designated tank in a dungeon run. You'll need a flexible setup that adapts to the situation at hand. Right now, you focus on maximizing damage output while supporting your teammates. Skills like Sacred Stigma, Shield Throw, Healing Strike, and Slowing Strike form the core of your skill set, and you will switch between formations based on the needs of your team.

Key Stats and Buffs

Maximizing your MP regeneration is crucial for maintaining your abilities during intense fights. Your goal should be to hit around 38.82 MP regen. In your current setup, you have 28 MP regen, which is still solid, but you've gone the extra mile by equipping items that give you backup MP regen-such as a belt and insignia that help to sustain your abilities.

Additionally, you have your seal stone buffs active, giving you key enhancements like Attack, Crit Strike Damage, and Accuracy. These seals play an essential role in your overall power progression, helping to ensure that you're dealing consistent damage while being able to defend yourself and your allies.

Skill and Passive Builds

The skill progression for your Paladin is important, and every point you allocate will affect your damage, defense, and overall playstyle. Your Paladin build focuses on providing both offensive and supportive roles, which means your healing and damage abilities need to be in sync.

In terms of passives, you've taken the time to level up Mana Boost to plus 5, which is excellent for a class that relies heavily on MP. Immunity Boost is still a work in progress, as it gives you the edge in survival, but Mockery, a passive that increases HP by 15%, is your next big goal.

Summons and Mounts

As you progress in Odin: Valhalla Rising, your Summons and Mounts will greatly affect your power. To date, you've summoned 772 Avatar summons and 494 Mount summons, but you've yet to pull an epic avatar, which is a primary goal for many players. You've had some luck, though, pulling an epic flying mount. However, you're holding out for the ultimate prize: an epic ground mount. Epic mounts are crucial for increasing your HP, which can easily push your Paladin's durability past 3,000 HP, making it significantly harder to take down in battle.

The summons system isn't just about power, though; it's about collecting avatars for their collection effects. Currently, you've collected 22 out of 32 rare avatars, and you're still working on obtaining that coveted epic. The same holds true for mounts, where you're currently sitting at 12 out of 28 rare mounts. A future level 70 brings a chance for an epic mount drop, which you're eagerly anticipating.

Rune and Gear Optimization

In terms of your rune system, you've fused 136 times and summoned 571 times. You're currently focused on acquiring two key rune sets: Keen and Accuracy, but your ultimate goal is to obtain the Protective and Accuracy sets, providing both offense and defense. The theory behind this strategy is sound-getting the right balance of damage and protection is key to surviving tougher content and pushing your power even further.While runes are a work in progress, your gear is also evolving. You've managed to gather some impressive armor, like the Shiny Blade Mace and Shield, which boosts your skill damage by 3%. Additionally, your Ferrari Helmet with MP regen and Shiny Blade Boots help keep your MP regeneration high, ensuring you can continuously support your team with your abilities.

You've also managed to find some solid stats on your armor, including critical strike resistance on your Verger Armor and Dormagander Scale Cloak. These enhancements ensure you're tough to kill while dishing out substantial damage. While you're happy with your current gear, you're always looking for ways to upgrade, whether that means upgrading to purple-tier gear or getting more MP regen for future survival.

Dungeons

The dungeons in Odin: Valhalla Rising are a major source of experience and loot, and you've focused on farming in Lost Giant's Den on extreme difficulty for your weekly dungeons, as well as Sea Serpent Layer for mystery crystals. While farming for materials is a constant, you're also working on completing map 3 and map 4, as these areas hold valuable treasure chests.

Crafting and Item Collection

Your item collection is steadily improving. At 185 out of 401 items collected, you're always on the lookout for the next piece to add to your collection. The focus on crafting is clear: you're stacking hourglasses to help push for level 70, which is the next milestone for your Paladin.

The shop offers plenty of ways to gather resources, with a focus on Odin Diamonds, summoning, accessory packages, and other premium items. The goal here is to build a consistent farming strategy to keep your inventory stocked with useful items like boons and mystery crystals.

Character Stats and Future Goals

As of now, your Paladin's stats are sitting at impressive levels. With 128 attack, 80% attack speed, and 13% casting speed, you're in a great spot for pushing into more challenging content. With 12% cooldown reduction, you've achieved a solid balance between damage output and skill uptime.

Your defensive stats (including dodge and crit strike resistance) also serve you well, though you're looking to push defense to 250 in the future. Given the rise in difficulty for later stages, gear upgrades and rune optimization will be crucial in boosting these stats.

Conclusion

Mastering the Paladin class in Odin: Valhalla Rising requires a lot of strategic thinking, careful gear selection, and understanding of the game's complex systems. With a balance between offensive and defensive stats, a focus on runes, mounts, and summons, and consistent dungeon farming, you are steadily pushing your character to new heights. Keep refining your build, optimize your gear and runes, and your Paladin will be a force to be reckoned with in the Odin: Valhalla Rising world.
