Paladins provides various characters, called Champions, for the players to choose during their gaming sessions. Each of these Champions falls into one of the following categories: Front Line, Damage, Support, and Flank. Being a team-based shooter, players must rely on strategy, character knowledge, coordination, and teamwork in order to attain victory. Players may use VGS, along with text and voice chat to communicate. A good team will have a balanced choice of classes that will support each other during the game. There are 36 champions in Paladins, 8 of which are available from the start for new players to choose between. Additionally, 4 champions are also temporarily accessible for free on a two-week rotation. Players can permanently acquire additional champions through purchases using in-game currency. More champions are slated for release in 2018.
The cards system is an ability amplifying mechanic in Paladins. Each Champion has one default loadout (a collection of cards) that cannot be deleted. At the beginning of a match, players can choose their load-outs from one of 6 load-outs. (the player can create 5 of their own load-outs). A loadout contains 5 cards and 15 points, each card having a level up to level 5. Each player receives all the cards of a character when a character is unlocked. Cards can grant mechanics like cooldown reduction or movement speed bonuses, and sometimes even more health. Legendary cards are not bound to a specific loadout but are selected at the start of a match as well. These cards grant heavier bonuses and more amplification. Each Champion has four Legendary cards, and are unlocked by leveling up the character through playing games and earning experience points, or by spending some in-game currency. Previously in earlier versions of the game, loadout cards could be leveled through radiant chests.
