Duke

Learn how to best utilize Duke, the first party member in Paladins, with this beginner-friendly guide. Understand his stats, equipment, and how to raise his affinity.

Alright, let's talk about Duke! He's the very first character you'll get in your party in Paladins, and honestly, he's not exactly the star of the show. Don't worry too much about him early on; Chezni can handle the first dungeon pretty much on their own. The best strategy here is to have Duke just play defense while Chezni does all the heavy lifting with their FireS spell. This is actually a great way to boost Chezni's affinity with the Fire spirit, so focus on that!
