Royal Paladin - Clan Analysis

Young Master and his loyal knight in silver armor
Royal Paladin is a clan from the ever-crowded United Sanctuary. filled with Knights, Animals, Animal Breeders, Dragons, and many other things with silver armor. Still wondering why they still not going to be called Silver Paladin instead.

Royal Paladin focused on calling RGs and gaining advantage by having a spawn of units and sometimes giving power to the RGs for onslaught purposes. but Shion's Royal Paladins preferred to superior calling G2 over calling anything for a generally cheaper costs and making some unnoticed unit a chance.



Shining Knight, Millius is our starter from the G-TD02, his skill is a wash from swapping himself with a G2 unit at GB1.
Not really matter since Royal Paladin doesn't have that amazingly good starter choices, but Millius help you building your field.

Encourage Angel is our Stand Trigger from G-BT01 with skill of giving 2 units +3k power and return her back to the deck. Her skill is not able to mitigate our lost of 10k shielding, making running her isn't a good choice

Looks like he wanna play dodgeball
Gigantech Shot-Putter skill was a +1 from giving 2 unit +5k. Unfortunately, he isn't the kind of +1 we want to use due to the cost was to retire him.
Loss of a booster in new Royal Paladin is not a small matter like old Royal due to Shion's Royal Paladin tend to superior call a G2, not a G1. Which means until there's a G2 that able to call a G1 with no need of sub-clan restriction, Gigantech's +1 isn't the plus we easily obtain. 


Knight of Fragment skill making him an 11k beater with an on-hit skill to Soul Charge 1 and flipping up 1 Counter Blast, making running him on a Seeker, Thing Saver Dragon focused build a good options. What make Fragment really works is Knight of Twin Sword skill that let him call a Fragment for CB1, Instant 11k Fragment.



Blue Sky Knight, Altmile GB2 skill gives all of your front row +5k power, making all of your column forming 21k minimum with proper field scaling. Making Altmile had great field scaling capability with Fragment & Brede since both unit able to reach 16k without booster with Altmile's GB2 skill.

Altmile's Breakstride skill let you call up to 2 unit from your hand and giving up to 2 unit +5k.
While seems unnecessary at first, this skill let you had Altmile's GB2 skill without even reaching GB2. Making a possible fast rush with 21k Rearguards columns coupled up with a G-Unit triple check.

Shrouded Divine Knight, Gablade is an on-hit G-Unit that let you call a G2 for free. Calling a Fragment or Brede force your opponent another card.
Holy Dragon, Saint Blow Dragon is Shion's ace G-Unit, pressuring your opponent with 41k 2 Critical Triple Check-ing Vanguard.

Both G-Unit taking advantage of the clan new support, Gablade free call work best as first Stride while Saint Blow used for pushing the game.

Beside of Stride support, G-BT01 also give Seekers more support.
Bravogal Seeker gives more pressure with an on-hit when boost skill to swap him with a Seeker at rest position. Putting him behind Vanguard ensuring a hit and calling Grynngal Seeker for boosting either Thing Saver, Alfred, or Wingal at Legion for more Vanguard Pressure

Seeker, Proud Roar Lion is another support with an on-hit flip up 1 Counter Blast and giving 1 unit +2k. Fragment worked better as Thing Saver support, but Proud Roar not restricted by GB1 is also good.

Dream Bringer, Belenus is a Critical trigger with skill. move him to soul from Rearguard Circle and you able to draw 1 and give a unit +5k. No, he won't go back to the deck. This making using his skill a bad move even when his skill mitigate our loss by drawing another card and giving power.
But, running him in a Legion deck compiled with cards that able to Soul Blast is good since he's not restricted to GB.

Hidden Sage, Miron is Sea Strolling Banshee copy for Royal Paladin.
Sea Strolling Banshee is good at Granblue since the clan able to call her and gain huge advantage from it, but Miron need to be called from the deck to works. Making running her is only viable to older Royal Paladin decks

Elegant Knight, Benizel is a worse Knight of Twin Sword mixed with Knight of Fragment.
An on-call GB1 to call a G2 unit when you had a G3 or greater Vanguard with Altmile name.
GB1 restriction making calling him early is useless, while waiting for the GB1 make you possibly use him for guarding. Also, his skill is on-call making him useless after that single turn. The bright side is we might see more Altmile iteration in the future.

Flash Flame Divine Knight, Samuil is another Stride unit for Royal Paladin.
Samuil skill making Dragruler sad since he had another competitor. Samuil skill triggered when he attack and paying CB2 cost to force your opponent perform a damage check.
Samuil able to push your opponent further and pacing up the game, making your opponent losing his momentum due to sudden jump of damage.


G-BT02 bring some fresh air for Jewel Knights with 2 new units for them.
Heat Wind Jewel Knight, Cymbelinus is a worse Mayoron since he's on-call only and need to have 3 or more Jewel Knights Rearguards.

Pure Wind Jewel Knight, Kymbelinus is the better support, his skill allow him to gain +10k shield when intercepting for a cost of Soul Blast-ing 1 Jewel Knight.
Giving the deck more defense and filling the cost for Legion.
