The Paladin

Melee, bruiser

A golden champion whose hammer breaks the line, and whose light steels every hero beside him.

Unlocks when you clear all three stages of the Siege on Extreme or harder in The Graveyard, The Forest and The Undervault.

Basic attack

Strikes the weakest enemy in reach; every 4th swing is a Hammerfall. Standing still, you keep striking it until it falls.

Chests and cleared waves bring skills and their levels. Tap a skill to cast it, or drag to aim; turn on Auto and they cast themselves.
