What would be the tankiest build to level up a paladin until hell in hc?
I'm not sold on hammerdin. He can rip quite fast in earlier levels.

Pretty sure any viable build will require the use of a schako so I’d start there.

Shako isn't the problem. Getting him to survive until he can wear that shako is the question here.

Only in normal or also late nightmare? How is holy shock in comparison?

You should start him early with a schako instead of waiting so long duh :bonk:

Bruhh hdin tanky af

What's your question?


Holy fire respec into hammer


Or holy fire respec into foh




U can respec as soon as the damage from holy fire falls off (approx level forty to fifty


Getting him to hell is not hard Esp with the shield runewords like

Ancient pledge spirit and rhyme on 40± resistance shields


Plus holy shield makes Ur character invincible with no dexterity spent



Guardian angel is a monster with free block



And spirit sword is ez too.





U can also use ravenclaw with holy fire

And add razor tail and conviction aura and Ur good to go bro

I know hammerdins to the core. Extra fast packs can overrun him with no way out. You can't leech and not all of your hammers hit when surrounded. With enigma and enough damage you kill them before they can approach you but that's not the case in earlier levels.

U can swap to the cross symbol to heal after each pack

With enough Dr and sol rune u won't need potions


Enigma is not necessary for hdin

Can quickswap to charge vigor to position urself under the champ



Ur hammer starts above u (this is the only pixel that matter)

Edit By the time u get enigma on hammderin better to respec to necro to flash farm

That's my hammer in sc. As you see I don't have an issue playing or positioning him. Problem is leveling him between 35-65 because afterwards he becomes bonkers. The cross aura is redemption, takes some time to work after activation.
I'm thinking of holy freeze, shock, fire or conviction zealot to level him up instead.
