Paladin is one of the warrior subclasses. Paladin players fight back Lost Ark’s demonic hordes with a unique holy skillset, blasting back foes with piercing light and powerful swordsmanship. If you’re looking for the best way to build your Paladin engravings, look no further.
Paladin Engravings Guide
Just like every class in Lost Ark, Paladin comes with two unique class-specific Engravings; Judgment and Blessed Aura. Judge is the more damage focussed engraving, increasing your damage and helping you get your gauge full faster. Blessing is more support focussed, helping you redirect damage for your team.

But what are the exact effects of Judgment and Blessed Aura?
- Judgment– Lv. 3: Punishment Damage +25%. When Punishment skill hits, Piety Meter gain +100%. Duration of Sacred Executioner +100%.
- Blessed Aura – Lv. 3: With Holy Aura, Damage received -20% and 2% of Max HP restored every 1.5s for all party members.
The two Engravings make use of the two halves of your Paladin ability. Sacred Executioner is already a powerful damage ability, and Judgment pushes that through the roof. While you can certainly be useful to your team as a holy avenger, the power from Blessed Aura can create a strong tank that can save your party in a difficult dungeon encounter. Below, we’ll show you the engravings you need for both builds.
These lists aren’t complete; They leave room for one or two flexible engraving picks of your choice. However, the listed engravings are priority, and should be taken before anything you add.
