So I messed around with it for a bit; and here's my thoughts on some of him, like you asked.



The idea of him being a bit weaker at the start but then using his primary attack (or judgement) to buff himself so Divine Storm / Holy Light are stronger is pretty neat, and I like the core idea of it. The problem is that the spells even without the buff are already really good. I don't feel any real downside for just using divine storm on its own, and Holy Light is already a strong heal (though the heal with buff keeping the flow going easier is neat).


I'd honestly suggest nerfing Divine storm a little, but making the buff stronger and adding some kind of secondary effect if you can; like Torch gain or stress heal. Going too far would be bad; I don't think this class should become the ridiculousness that is Twilight Knight where you just eliminate stress from the game, but the Paldin having no Stress healing or Torch gain makes it hard to Utalize when I could just pop in the Crusader who deals more damage and has a heal/stress reducer/ Torch gain all in one skill.


Speaking of damage, I'd honestly just remove the Crit off his basic attack and give him something else. I get the idea is he hits for less than the crusader but has a higher crit chance, but instead of the crit you might give it some support element or strengthen the buff it gives to his other skills.


Also, his first three skills feel like they just outshine anything else. Your basic attack, holy light, and Divine storm are pretty much mandatory thanks to their raw power and the interaction they have, but none of the other skills feel that useful; I don't think I've ever wasted a turn with them aside from Judgement when I ran a high stun comp; in which it was useful (but required that specific setup). I'd honestly change them entirely, though I can't tell you how off the top of my head. Maybe give him the Paladin's blessing skills since you said he's based off that? Greater blessings that last the fight (or atleast a good few turns) might be worth a turn, But unless they interact with the same buff holy light / Divine storm interact with, there's still likely to be trouble in using it.



...



Now that I think about it, why not just make the buff from Basic attack / Judgement into an actual buff? You could call it light touched or something and (if possible) give it a visual indicator, like a smaller/opaque version of the wings you use for his art or some soft holy aura... but even if you don't give it a visual, it could interact with all his skills much easier.


IE: name the buff "Light touched" (or something), and just have all his skills say "If Light touched, X" instead of giving him the buff that specifically says it interacts with Holy light and Divine storm. If you don't want to overhaul the skills like I mentioned earlier, this could atleast allow them to be more useful by saying "If Light touched, also do X" At the very least I'd have it make all abilities give Torch power or something, given the "for the light" theme of the class.This kind of hurts Dark runs, but it's a pretty niche thing since Districts make dark runs not a thing late game and early game they aren't used often.

EDIT: I realized this was mostly just feedback about the things I'd change about him to make it more interesting or useful; but I'd also like to toss in the class is pretty interesting. I'm glad to see I was wrong about him being OP, and infact I'd say he's decently balanced. The art edits on Crusader have it look different enough that it works out, and overall he's pretty well made. My complaints kind of boil down to I think you had a solid 3-4 skills that you really made good, but kind of forgot to make the others or the camp skills as interesting. I know there's a limit most modders want to work on a mod before just going to something new, so I can't say I expect you to do everything I said, but you asked for Feedback, so I figured I'd try.
