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 Retribution Paladin, updated for .

Covenant Changes with Patch 9.1.5 for Retribution Paladin
Necrolord:
征服者之锤
now increases the effectiveness of the free
神圣风暴
by 25%.
Necrolord:
正义之力
damage effect increased by 400% and healing effect reduced by 50%.
Night Fae:
阳春祝福
now increases healing done by 15% (was 10%) and healing received by 30% (was 20%).
凛冬祝福
now reduces the hostile target's attack speed and movement speed by 5% per stack (was 3%) and its damage has been increased by 40%.
These are relatively minor buffs to Necrolord and Night Fae. The buff to the free
神圣风暴
might make Necrolord more viable on single target and two-target cleave, but
正义之力
is still too bad compared to other conduits to use.
Best Retribution Paladin Covenants for Raiding
Any Covenant is viable in raids, so if you really love a specific one, you can still use it without losing too much damage. That said, all things considered Kyrian is the best overall choice for damage.
圣洁鸣钟
is a versatile cooldown that works well in a variety of situations in raids. It performs great in either single target oriented burst builds paired with
处决宣判
and
最终清算
, or on AoE since its Holy Power generation scales with extra targets hit.
圣洁鸣钟
has no real weaknesses or drawbacks and can work with multiple different talent builds depending on the situation, making Kyrian the default covenant choice.
Necrolord can be competitive on single target, since with the
义缚之槌
Legendary it can almost rival Kyrian's burst inside the
处决宣判
/
最终清算
window. It's also slightly better on two targets, since this is the sweet spot for
圣殿骑士的裁决
proccing
神圣风暴
to be the most relevant. After that though,
圣殿骑士的裁决
becomes irrelevant enough for Necrolord to scale poorly with more targets.
Night Fae is also worth a mention if you have a Venthyr Balance Druid in your raid. Buffing their
饕餮狂乱
window with
仲夏祝福
is pretty strong, and the seasonal rotation lines up with its cooldown. It's unlikely to be better than Kyrian in most practical situations, but it's the alternative Covenant with the highest potential upside.
Best Retribution Paladin Covenants for Mythic+
Kyrian is the strongest overall covenant for Mythic+, but any other covenant is also viable if you really want to play with them instead.
Kyrian's
圣洁鸣钟
can be used either in combination with
最终清算
for strong AoE burst every minute or just as an extra AoE and on demand Holy Power generation ability. Its cooldown is short enough that it can simply be used on cooldown and still be available when burst AoE is required, and it's very easy to get a lot of additional Holy Power out of it without requiring much extra forward planning.
Retribution Paladin Covenant Popularity
Below you can see the data on what are the most picked Covenants for Retribution Paladins. This data updates automatically and comes directly from Blizzard's API.
Retribution Paladin Covenant Analysis
Kyrian
圣洁鸣钟
is the main draw to Kyrian for Retribution. It casts double strength
审判
s on your primary target and up to 4 other targets within range. While by itself it's not an especially strong ability, with the
明澈之音
conduit or with multiple targets its damage and Holy Power generation quickly become very strong.
静谧之瓶
is pretty underwhelming for Ret in both raid and Mythic+, since self healing, bleeds, poison, and disease dispel are all already part of the baseline toolkit. Having a potential curse dispel and a third health potion is better than nothing, but it's certainly not anything to get that excited about.
Kyrian also has access to both Pelagos with
战斗冥想
, and Mikanikos with
行动的召唤：布隆
. Pelagos will generally stay as the top soulbind, as the Mastery buff it provides lines up well with other damage cooldowns.
Necrolord
征服者之锤
is a Holy Power generator that buffs your next
圣殿骑士的裁决
cast to also proc a free buffed
神圣风暴
. The easiest way to think of it is that
征服者之锤
gives a free
神圣风暴
on single target, or a free
圣殿骑士的裁决
on AoE, since you'd just be casting
神圣风暴
on AoE otherwise. While it doesn't perform spectacularly on AoE, it does do decent single target damage with its Legendary,
义缚之槌
, and it also does the best two-target cleave, since that's the number of targets where the free
征服者之锤
ability has the most impact.
Necrolord's signature ability,
血肉铸造
, can be decent if you have periods of downtime during phase transitions where you can channel it, but nothing spectacular otherwise. It'll often just be used to maintain Marileth's
不稳定的溶液
buff.
For Necrolord's soulbinds, Marileth's
不稳定的溶液
will provide a decent passive mastery buff whenever you channel
血肉铸造
, and
凯文的小软泥怪
is also a decent damage buff that will be procced pretty regularly.
Night Fae
四季祝福
is a four part buff rotation that has a bit of everything:
仲夏祝福
,
暮秋祝福
,
凛冬祝福
, and
阳春祝福
. Each time you use it, it swaps to the next season.
仲夏祝福
and
暮秋祝福
both provide decent damage increases,
阳春祝福
can help your healer out, and
凛冬祝福
unfortunately doesn't do much. Since the buffs are targeted and for a single player you don't just have to use these on yourself; you're able to pick another party member if you think that they'll benefit more from the buff than you will.
灵魂变形
is an excellent movement ability that teleports you forward a short distance, then increases your movement speed for the next 12 seconds as well. Using any ability will take you out of the soulshape form, but even considering that drawback it's still one of the best signature abilities for Ret.
Night Fae also has three viable soulbind options - Niya, Dreamweaver, and Korayn - that can all be valuable depending on the situation.
Venthyr
Venthyr offers a powerful burst damage cooldown, but it's also the most awkward to use of any Covenant.
红烬圣土
is a targeted ground effect that lasts 30 seconds and although it's large, there may well be situations where enemies move out of it before it ends if you aren't careful with how you use it. Its 4 minute cooldown is also a little unwieldy, since if you try to hold it too long to get maximum value out of it, you can potentially lose a cast over the course of a raid fight. It does decent enough damage for the trouble and planning it causes, but its drawbacks are real nonetheless.
A bonus of Venthyr is that its signature ability is pretty good for Ret.
暗影之门
is a 1.5 second cast that teleports you to any targeted location within 35 yards. Ret has traditionally struggled with mobility in raids, and any ability that helps to mitigate this weakness is welcome.
Venthyr has two viable Soulbinds in Nadjia and Theotar, who provide
兴奋追猎者
and
抚慰阴影
respectively. Theotar is usually slightly stronger, but they're very close and neither provide an increase that's massively above any of the other Covenant options.
