Legion Paladin Rework

Legion Paladin Class Skills Breakdown

When you buy a Legion Armor T-shirt or Paladin Armor T-shirt from Heromart.com, each comes with an awesome weapon and half of the "Legion Paladin" class. Combine both halves to create the full class in AdventureQuest Worlds! Themed after the shirts... we merged Artix's Paladin armor and Dage's Paragon armor together into a horrifying and powerful new class.

Legion Paladin Member Trial Period

We're giving Members the opportunity to try out Legion Paladin! When this week's release goes live on Friday, May 10th, Members can find the Legion Paladin Trial class in the Featured Gear Shop.

This is a temporary version of the Legion Paladin Class that is only usable until Tuesday, May 14th. After the trial period ends, the Legion Paladin Trial class will turn into a Limited Event Coin.

Based on your feedback, we may do more class trials of this nature in the future.

Small QoL update for Legion Paladin

• Blasphemous Battleaxe: Can no longer miss.
• Incantation of Sin:Can no longer miss.

Legion Paladin Details

Description
Recommended enhancement: Lucky, Hybrid. Legion Paladins favor the use of Souls over Spirits. As such, they have been exiled from the Paladin Order and are unable to channel Spirits through normal means.

Stat Model: Hybrid

Mana Regen
Legion Paladins gain mana when they:

• Strike an enemy in combat (more effective on crits)
• Are struck by an enemy in combat
• Are under the effects of Spirits (restores 5 mana every 2 seconds)

Active Skill Breakdown

Desecration

Rank needed: 1 / Auto Attack
Target: Enemy
Max Targets: 1
Type: 110% Hybrid
Range: Melee
Cooldown: 2 seconds

Strike your target with a malice filled attack, granting you a Soul in the process. Souls last 10 seconds, stack to 20, and are used by your other abilities.

Souls are what allow Legion Paladin to function. Each time you gain a Soul, you gain Crit Chance, and the damage of most of your skills are increased. 

Blasphemous Battleaxe

Rank needed: 1
Target: Enemy
Max Targets: 1
Type: 50% Hybrid
Range: Long
Mana Cost: 20
Cooldown: 5 seconds

Swing your soul infused battleaxe at your target, dealing increased damage for each Soul you have while also granting you a Soul.

If you have Spirits, applies Defiled to your target, reducing their Haste, Crit Chance, Dodge, and outgoing damage by 30% for 5 seconds. Can't miss.

Much like Desecration, this skill also grants you a Soul. In fact, almost all of Legion Paladin's skills grant you a Soul upon use. This skill also applies a pretty hefty debuff to your target if you have Spirits. What are Spirits? Well keep on reading!

Soul Convertor

Rank needed: 2
Target: Friendly
Max Targets: 7
Type: -200% Hybrid
Range: Infinite
Mana Cost: 30
Cooldown: 5 seconds

The spirits forsook you, so you created your own. Heals you and your allies, then converts up to 10 Souls into Spirits. Spirits last 10 seconds, restore 5 mana every second, and are used by your other abilities. You and your allies also gain a Spirit Shield, increasing Damage Resistance by 30% for 10 seconds. Always crits.

This skill is where Legion Paladin gets really interesting. Essentially, you trade in your Souls to heal yourself, your allies, and unlock the ability to apply some powerful buffs and debuffs. In other words, you're effectively exchanging your damage output to become a pretty sturdy tank in return! 

Incantation of Sin

Rank needed: 3
Target: Enemy
Max Targets: 1
Type: 150% Hybrid
Range: Long
Mana Cost: 25
Cooldown: 12 seconds

Unleash a ruinous wave of dark magic, dealing increased damage for each Soul you have while also granting you a Soul. 

If you have Spirits, applies Focus for 4 seconds, which forces your target to attack only you for the duration. Also applies Safeguard for 2 seconds, reducing the damage you take based on your Attack Power. Can't miss.

A more powerful skill that also grants you Souls. When you have Spirits, you'll not only apply Focus to your target, but also Safeguard to yourself, which is effectively an extra layer of damage reduction on top of your Damage Resistance, so you'll be withstanding some of the most powerful monster attacks! However, this version of Focus doesn't last as long as most, so you'll have to time it carefully.

Shadowblight

Rank needed: 5
Target: Enemy
Max Targets: 1
Type: 350% Hybrid
Range: Long
Mana Cost: 30 
Cooldown: 18 seconds

Combine your light and dark powers to create a devastating spell, dealing increased damage for each Soul you have while also granting you a Soul. 

If you have Spirits, applies Shadowblight to your target, a DoT that also reduces Damage Resistance and DoT Resistance by 30% for 10 seconds.

Your strongest attack that once again also grants you Souls upon use! When you have Spirits, you apply a defense debuff to your target, perfect for increasing your party's total damage!

Passive Skill Breakdown

Heretic's Armor

Rank needed: 4
Type: Passive

Endurance increased by 100% and Damage Resistance increased by 30%.

Profaned

Rank needed: 4
Type: Passive

Haste increased by 10% and Hit Chance increased by 20%.

Soul Infusion

Rank needed: 10
Type: Passive

Blasphemous Battleaxe applies Soul Infusion for 10 seconds, increasing your Crit Chance by 5% for each Soul you have at the time of application.

With this passive unlocked, you can gain Spirits before entering combat, perfect for when you're up against hard hitting opponents!

Conclusion

When Legion Paladins damage a target, they gain Souls, but it's up to you on how to utilize them. Will you hold onto your Souls in order to deal massive amounts of damage but at the cost of damage mitigation, or will you turn them into Spirits that can be used to support your allies and reduce your incoming damage? Don't forget, Legion Paladin can only be obtained by purchasing the Legion Armor T-shirt and Paladin Armor T-shirt while supplies last, so be sure to check them out on Heromart.com!

May the Fourth Be With You...

The Hunt for Twiggu Begins Now

This weekend, log in as our May the Fourth celebration begins in... The Hunt for Twiggu! When an infamous bounty hunter from a galaxy far, far away lands on Lore, it’s up to you, our Hero Villain to help him capture his target. Your mission: help him bring in the notoriously-adorable fugitive, Baby Twiggu, from their refuge in the wilderness. Slash, hack, and reprogram your way through hordes of decrepit battle droids to reap the rewards of bringing a wanted criminal to justice!

This is the Way... to Wicked Rewards

All of the items below were crafted for you by AQW artist, D Black Star to help you celebrate this one-of-a-kind holiday. Each of the sets below draws inspiration from the Star Wars universe and then fuses it with elements from AdventureQuest Worlds.

May the 4th Seasonal Gear

Here at the Secret Underground Lab, we are all game developers but also HUGE nerds, and I have to say... these ARE the Mog Wars-themed items you're looking for! Head in game now and find the seasonal May 4th (sci-fi/space-themed) gear in the /eventhub map. 

Plus, find an entirely NEW merge shop full of space combat-ready items.

The Mawa's Stand Merge Shop includes:

• Galactic Shadow Trooper minion armor/helm
• Twicket, Twig Fortuna, and Twill-ek pets
• StarCrasher armor set

DarkLord Class

In 2021, we brought back the original DarkSide Class skills paired with new art so ALL players can enjoy that gameplay. Talk to Hammer in /murdermoon to to create a cargo-hold's worth of space-gear... including ALL of the items in the DarkSide Class. 

The blue variant of the seasonal DarkSide 2.0 class is available for ALL players. A diabolically-evil red armor set variant will be locked to higher-level heroes. (Original Darkside class not required.)

Why IS May the Fourth a Holiday?

Well... it's not, really. Unless you're a particular breed of nerd. As the Intergalactic Space Wiki (run by wookies, of course) tells us:

"May 4 is considered a holiday by Star Wars fans to celebrate the franchise's films series, books, and culture as well as strict religious rituals.^[3] The date was chosen for the easy pun on the catchphrase "May the Force be with you"—"May the fourth be with you". Even though the holiday was not actually created or declared byLucasfilm many Star Wars fans across the world choose to celebrate the holiday."
