A core choice at the start of your journey in the Shadowlands will have you decide where your allegiance lies; would you rather support the Kyrian of Bastion, the Necrolords of Maldraxxus, the Night Fae of Ardenweald, or the Venthyr of Revendreth?
Choosing a covenant is the most important decision your character will make in Shadowlands, as the covenant abilities and soulbinds will significantly impact your spec's gameplay and performance. Through this choice, your rotation changes, certain bonuses appear in dungeons for your entire group, and you are able to follow the story in different paths.
In this Shadowlands guide, we will help you choose the right covenant for your playstyle, based on how much they impact your performance as a Protection Paladin, updated for .

Best Protection Paladin Covenants for Raiding
Venthyr is going to be your general pick for raiding.
红烬圣土
offers a high amount of damage and healing that can't be matched with another Covenant. It's a large amount of burst damage and Protection's kit is very suited for that type of damage. General Draven has
岩石效命
,
坚守阵地
, and
持续阴霾
to help supplement your defensive kit.
The other Covenants do bring things to the table. Kyrian offers advantages specifically in Castle Natheria including the ability to remove encounter specific debuffs. Night Fae is a general purpose Covenant that never loses value in progression. Necrolord brings simplicity.
Best Protection Paladin Covenants for Mythic+
Kyrian will be your best choice for Mythic+.
圣洁鸣钟
is really good for spread threat, utility and trash damage. It can be combined with
复仇原点
so it can be a defensive cooldown. It gives you a large chunk of Holy Power so you can get Shield of the Righteous up or you can heal with Word of Glory. You can use
静谧之瓶
to counter some of the dungeon specific debuffs that can be very punishing as key levels go up. Kyrian also has Pelagos, who brings
战斗冥想
that give some stats and
放下过去
that makes you take less magic damage.
The other Covenants bring different things as well. Venthyr might be better on specific Tyrannical bosses because of its burst damage. Night Fae, like in raiding, has general use and some mobility. Necrolord brings
不稳定的溶液
that adds buffs to
血肉铸造
casts that can be used between pulls or it brings Emeni who offers run speed bonuses or Haste on kills which can be useful in Mythic Plus.
Protection Paladin Covenant Popularity
Below you can see the data on what are the most picked Covenants for Protection Paladins. This data updates automatically and comes directly from Blizzard's API.
Protection Paladin Raiding Covenant Analysis
Kyrians of Bastion
As a Kyrian, you'll get access to
圣洁鸣钟
.
圣洁鸣钟
is really good for snap threat and AoE damage while also providing the utility of an AoE interrupt or resource gen. The AoE interrupt won't be useful that much in a raid without many caster bosses and the extra AoE won't help on many single target bosses. Mileage will vary from boss to boss. On some bosses, it will feel good to use and on others. it won't.
召唤执事者
grants you a
静谧之瓶
which will help clear specific debuffs and provide a heal. The debuff clearing mechanic is also hit and miss. On some bosses, there will be a bleed or curse that you can remove. On some bosses the Phial will just be another health pot.
The soulbinds Kyrians offer can also be used in raiding. You can opt for Pelagos who has
战斗冥想
and
放下过去
as traits that can apply anywhere. Pelagos also offers
耐心之瓶
for a more powerful heal when it is strictly used for healing. Kyrians can also flex into Kleia who has more utility through
骁勇打击
,
师徒一心
, and
共鸣赞誉
. Kleia also has
晋升之瓶
which gives immunity to debuffs when required.
Necrolords of Maldraxxus
Necrolords are given
征服者之锤
as their Covenant ability. It's a very straightforward ability in its current form. It should be used as a single target damage nuke on cooldown. It also has the benefit of casting a free
正义盾击
when you also cast
荣耀圣令
. However, this mechanic is a bit of a side mechanic.
荣耀圣令
is not a button you press on a whim. It's very strategic. As such, you won't really plan around this effect at all.
血肉铸造
is the Necrolord signature ability. It's not super useful in raiding. You won't be able to use it while acting tanking a boss. It can be used during downtime to get some value of it.
Emeni is going to be your choice in raids. You'll get
身先士卒
,
艾米妮的优美之皮
and
软骨脚趾
your best value during raiding.
Night Fae of Ardenweald
四季祝福
is a generic option for raiding. You can easily plan raid situations around each buff. For example in a healing intensive phase, you might want to use
阳春祝福
on a healer to help get through it. You might use
仲夏祝福
on a higher DPS to help during a burst phase.
四季祝福
more than any other Covenant ability requires a lot of knowledge of the encounter and content you're doing. Each Blessing has some value and they can be effective when used in an intelligent manner.
灵魂变形
is the signature ability. It will help you get around in a pinch. It also gives you a blink that allows you some controlled movement. On a boss with a lot of movement like Artificer Xy'mox, it will really shine when you have to move. Paladins have been traditionally a low mobility class and
灵魂变形
does a really nice job of shoring up a class weakness.
Night Fae has two viable soulbinds: Niya and Korayn. For raiding, you might trend towards Korayn eventually because she is a solid defensive soulbind that allows you to use two Potency conduits. For example, she has
勇面敌人
, a nearly passive damage reduction. She also lets you flex into
坚守阵地
for specific scenarios. You can also use
荒猎号角
as group utility. Niya is also very good as she offers
林地复兴
and
不休不疲
, both of which round out your kit.
Venthyr of Revendreth
红烬圣土
is the highest damage ability of any class Covenant ability available to Protection Paladin. It nestles very nicely into a kit that is centered around burst damage. The four minute cooldown might be intimidating but on a 5-6 minute raid boss, you'll get to use it once or twice and when you do, the damage you gain fully justifies the four minute cooldown. It has some flexibility where you can use it on the pull or line it up with an important burst phase. It also powers up your
愤怒之锤
casts and those are always fun!
暗影之门
would be your signature. It's just a teleport. It's not fancy at all. You'll use it to get around the battlefield way faster. It does have a cast time so you might not use it while actively tanking. But if there is a mechanic in the raid that forces sudden or long distance movement, then this will be a good tool to get around.
For Soulbinds, the one you might lean towards is General Draven. He offers a lot of really good defensive traits, namely
岩石效命
and
坚守阵地
, which increase your defensiveness a moderate amount. You can also possibly opt into one of the other two for utility or damage. For example,
混沌代理人
could be another interrupt or
废土礼节
could allow you and your mates more burst damage.
Protection Paladin Mythic+ Covenant Analysis
The analysis of Venthr or Night Fae isn't that different from raiding. I would familiarize yourself with what's above. Things are just applied differently. Some elements of Kyrian and what it makes it less desirable in raid, make it stand out in Mythic Plus. Things like AoE interrupts which are needed in Necrotic Wake or consistent debuff removal which help in De Other Side just give Kyrian the utility needed to excel that other Covenants don't have.
The one that's truly different is Necrolord. Necrolord is much better in M+ than the raid and this is primarily based on what the soulbinds offer. Plague Deviser Marileth offers
不稳定的溶液
which give value to
血肉铸造
between pulls. These buffs will increase your damage or survivability and make timing keys easier. Then Emeni is an option for more run speed or Haste on kills which always be useful in a Mythic+. It's not as good as Kyrian but Necrlord does bring something unique to the table for Mythic Plus.

Venthyr seems the best. Kyrian is completely useless on single target enemies in raids, dungeons and outdoor content. Also you can remove bleeds with your bubbles so it makes Kyrian even more worthless.

"Decent" and "Good" are synonyms.
I understand that Decent is taken to be less than Good here. but. Lets gets some clear terminology please.
