Champions were recruited in order to minimize casualties of regular foot soldiers. The champions would be considered "special forces" as they are more efficient at combat than a regular soldier. Not all champions are committed, however. There were a few who did not pick sides during the war, rather they would contract with both, rendering them mercenaries. The rest of these special forces were committed to a faction, either the Magistrate or the Paladins/Resistance. There are also minor factions in the game as well, the "Abyss", the "Thousand Hands" and the "Pyre".', 20 => '', 21 => '==Gameplay==', 22 => '', 23 => '''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.

Each successful push or capture grants one point. Preventing the enemy team from pushing the payload also grants one point. Additionally, the team that captures the point will get a bonus of 300 credits. The first team to score four points wins the game. A team cannot score their fourth point on defense, however, meaning that the team must capture a point or push the payload to win.', 29 => '*'''Onslaught:''' Teams battle over a large combat area in an attempt to take point control and earn points. Along with holding an uncontested presence on the control point, slaying enemy players also scores points for the team, akin to a team deathmatch.', 30 => '*'''Team Deathmatch:''' A classic game mode in most first-person shooter games, where two teams fight against each other to score kills. The first team to score 40 kills wins the game.', 31 => '*'''Ranked:''' The same game mode as Siege, however when players are choosing a champion, each team can pick two champions to ban, which makes them unavailable for either team. Also, each team can see the opponent's champions that are picked and selected, and once a champion is picked by any player on a team, the other team cannot use that same champion.', 32 => '', 33 => '==Paladins Strike==', 34 => 'Paladins Strike is the mobile version of the game, launched in May 2018.<ref>https://segmentnext.com/2018/05/15/paladins-strike-guide/</ref>', 35 => '', 36 => '==Reception==', 37 => '{{Video game reviews', 38 => '| MC = PC: 83/100<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/paladins |title=Paladins for PC Reviews |website=[[Metacritic]] |publisher=[[CBS Interactive]] |accessdate=2018-07-05}}</ref><br />NS: 74/100<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.metacritic.com/game/switch/paladins-champions-of-the-realm |title=Paladins: The Only Good Overwatch Rip-Off for Switch Reviews |website=[[Metacritic]] |publisher=[[CBS Interactive]] |accessdate=2018-07-05}}</ref>', 39 => '}}', 40 => 'The PC version of Paladins received generally favorable reviews, while the Nintendo Switch version received mixed or average reviews according to review aggregator [[Metacritic]].', 41 => '', 42 => 'In response to accusations that the game is an ''[[Overwatch (video game)|Overwatch]]'' clone, Hi-Rez COO Todd Harris said that "''Overwatch'' was not the inspiration for ''Paladins''", and "the game that deserves the most credit is ''[[Team Fortress 2]]''".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-09-16-paladins-open-beta-overwatch |title=Paladins open beta launch trailer reminds us a lot of Overwatch |last=Phillips |first=Tom |date=2016-09-16 |website=Eurogamer |accessdate=2017-05-15}}</ref>', 43 => '', 44 => 'The game was nominated for "Best Competitive Game" at the 2018 [[Golden Joystick Awards]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/gaming/news/golden-joysticks-2018-nominees-announced-voting-open-now/ |title=Golden Joysticks 2018 nominees announced, voting open now |last=Hoggins |first=Tom |date=2018-09-24 |newspaper=[[The Daily Telegraph]] |accessdate=2018-11-20}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.gamesradar.com/golden-joystick-awards-2018-winners/ |title=Golden Joystick Awards 2018 winners: God of War wins big but Fortnite gets Victory Royale |last=Sheridan |first=Connor |date=2018-11-16 |website=[[GamesRadar+]] |accessdate=2018-11-20}}</ref>', 45 => '', 46 => '==See also==', 47 => '* ''[[Realm Royale]]'' – a spin-off of Paladins', 48 => '', 49 => '==References==', 50 => '{{reflist|refs=', 51 => '<!--not used', 52 => '<ref name=IBT800k>{{cite web| url=http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/overwatch-clone-paladins-takes-steam-by-storm-over-750k-downloads-1582934| title=Overwatch 'clone' Paladins takes Steam by storm with over 750k downloads| author=Oliver Cragg| work=[[International Business Times]]| date=2016-09-23| accessdate=2016-10-22}}</ref>', 53 => '<ref name=IGNOW>{{cite web| url=http://ign.com/articles/2016/09/20/paladins-developer-responds-to-overwatch-comparisons| title=Paladins Developer Responds to Overwatch Comparisons| author=Jonathon Dornbush| work=[[IGN]]| date=2016-09-20| accessdate=2016-10-22}}</ref>-->', 54 => '}}', 55 => '', 56 => '==External links==', 57 => '*{{official|https://www.paladins.com}}', 58 => '', 59 => '[[Category:2018 video games]]', 60 => '[[Category:Early access video games]]', 61 => '[[Category:First-person shooter multiplayer online games]]', 62 => '[[Category:Free-to-play video games]]', 63 => '[[Category:MacOS games]]', 64 => '[[Category:Nintendo Switch games]]', 65 => '[[Category:PlayStation 4 games]]', 66 => '[[Category:PlayStation 4 Pro enhanced games]]', 67 => '[[Category:Video games developed in the United States]]', 68 => '[[Category:Windows games]]', 69 => '[[Category:Xbox One games]]', 70 => '[[Category:Unreal Engine games]]', 71 => '[[Category:Hero shooters]]', 72 => '[[Category:Video games containing battle passes]]' ]
