Heroes

Find the Forsaken Paladin and learn its role

The new Tavern hero, its supported graphics modes and a practical way to assess abilities without relying on guessed builds.

Reforged 3.0.0 · Launch edition · September 12, 2026 · Updated 2026-09-12

The short answer

Blizzard confirms the Forsaken Paladin as a new multiplayer Tavern hero across Classic, Definitive Edition and Reforged. Exact ability values and campaign build recommendations are not yet verified in this edition.

Before you start

  • An updated client.
  • A suitable practice game if you want to inspect the multiplayer hero.

Separate multiplayer availability from campaign progression

Use the Tavern in a suitable multiplayer practice context to look for the new hero. The official announcement confirms availability across the three graphics presentations.

The campaign’s narrative and progression may use different rules. A multiplayer tooltip is not sufficient evidence for a campaign talent recommendation. Record which mode you are testing.

Read the complete ability before choosing a build

Our recommended evaluation begins with tooltips and a controlled practice scenario. It avoids assigning a role from the word “Paladin” alone.

  1. Record each available ability’s target restrictions, resource cost, cooldown and effect from your installed build.
  2. For a healing or support effect, check whether the text includes the caster, allies or particular unit types. Do not infer self-healing from the name.
  3. Change one ability choice at a time and observe the result in the same situation.
  4. Keep multiplayer observations separate from campaign observations, including patch and difficulty where applicable.

What is needed for a reliable build guide

A useful build recommendation needs verified ability ranks, access conditions and a concrete job: surviving a named fight, sustaining a group or dealing with a particular threat.

We will add builds when those inputs can be sourced or reproduced. There is currently no verified best-build ranking, talent calculator or complete hero-stat table on this page.
