The XENO class newly added in January is the PALADIN. It is a unit with very high attack and defense powers, and it also has measures against Necromancers. Additionally, by placing summoning units on the enemy’s field, it can interfere with the opponent’s summoned units. It seems to be a relatively versatile character. Let’s take a look at the new PALADIN class, from its strategies to its skills.
PROJEXT XENO| “PALADIN” Strategy
High Attack and Defense Power: The Paladin is a balanced unit with high attack and defense power. However, it tends to have skills with relatively high costs, making units that can support the costs needed for skill activation, such as GUARDIAN or NECROMANCER, a good match.
Necromancer Counters: Skills like Holy Cross and Divine Flash deal critical damage specifically to Necromancers and have the effect of sealing the resurrection of indestructible skeletons and the like. They effectively counter the Necromancer’s resurrection ability, making them a natural nemesis. However, these skills are somewhat specialized against Necromancers, so there is a concern that they may lack versatility.
Summoning Units to the Opponent’s Field: One of the most unique aspects of this class is the existence of the Trojan Horse. It allows you to summon a unit to an empty square on the enemy’s field. Since this unit cannot attack, it can be used to obstruct the opponent’s field. Specifically, by placing it in the enemy’s rear, it can interfere with summoned units like the Psychic’s Heal Tower.
