Paladins are medium assault cruisers. They are like an upgraded version of Destroyers, and are a casual part of a T2 naval strike force. Equipped with a medium-range plasma cannon, two light laser turrets and a depth charge launcher, they are very versatile.

Quite fast among T2 ships, they are useful for rushing your enemy at the beginning of the T2 sea battle stage, and remain a fleet mainstay thereafter. They can easily take out any T1 units, and offer very good protection against hovercraft in particular.

Cruisers are completely defenseless vs. air units! Shuriken stun attacks will leave them dead in the water!
