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 .

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.
Venthyr is an excellent option due to the strong burst damage of
红烬圣土
. Its 4 minute cooldown is less of a drawback in raids, since almost all progression fights will be long enough to get two (or even three) casts off. Boss positioning in raids is much more consistent as well, which allows for its placement to not result in duration being wasted with enemies moving out of it early.
暗影之门
is also one of the stronger signature abilities for Retribution to use in raid environments, as mobility is always valuable on multiple fights each tier.
Kyrian is also a good choice, since
圣洁鸣钟
gains a lot of value with extra targets, and most raid fights have extra adds around to cleave with it. It's also a strong single target choice with the right conduits and talents.
Best Retribution Paladin Covenants for Mythic+
No Covenant is significantly better than any other option for Mythic+, as they all have some strengths and weaknesses to consider.
Venthyr's ability does excellent damage, but it suffers from a long cooldown that might not sync well for the points of the dungeon that you need damage. There are many more issues with placement of
红烬圣土
than in raid environments.
Necrolord is still a moderate damage increase, but
征服者之锤
is much less of an increase on larger AoE packs than it is on single target or 2 target cleave. It's is a bit lackluster in Mythic+ compared to the other Covenants as a result.
Kyrian's
圣洁鸣钟
is generally useful throughout a dungeon due to how well it scales with extra targets, and its shorter cooldown allows for burst in a small, easy to use window.
Night Fae also ends up strong due to scaling well, and allows you to use one of its blessings for damage on most pulls. Korayn's
荒猎团战术
is one of the better soulbind damage increases, and its restriction of only applying to the first 25% of an enemy's health is much less of a downside in Mythic+, where there aren't phasing considerations like there are in raids.
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. While it may seem flashy, in reality an extra
审判
on a 1 minute cooldown is nothing to write home about on single target, even though the
审判
casts also do double their normal damage. Where this ability really shines is when there are multiple targets, as you gain one Holy Power for each
审判
it casts, or alternatively it can be strong with the
明澈之音
conduit to dramatically increase its single target damage potential.
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
Necrolord fills the role of the "jack of all trades, master of none" for Retribution.
征服者之锤
itself doesn't do awful damage on single target and it can be reasonably strong in situations where you need to focus one target and passively cleave others, but numerically it just doesn't compete with the other Covenants in either single target or AoE. As a 30 second cooldown you'll be able to use it often, but there's nothing that Ret can use to synergize with it, it's just an ability that does some damage.
Necrolord's signature ability,
血肉铸造
, is just as lackluster. It requires a 4 second channel in order to get the maximum absorb, and while this is less of a downside if you can use it during phase transitions in raids. In any other situation, it's a large loss of uptime for the damage absorb that it provides. As a defensive ability, it's not that valuable, as
复仇之盾
already exists to fill the same role. Similar to Kyrian, it's not a bad additional option to have but it doesn't provide anything that's fundamentally different to what Ret's baseline tools offer.
For Necrolord's soulbinds, Emeni has
身先士卒
and Heirmir has
炉脉幻想
which are both decent damage increases, but nothing amazing relative to what other Covenants provide, and not enough to make up for
征服者之锤
.
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 offers three good soulbind options. Niya's
林地复兴
and Korayn's
荒猎团战术
are both decent, but early on Dreamweaver will be the best pick for raids as it allows you to use two Potency conduits faster than any other Covenant by a few weeks.
Venthyr
Venthyr has the most powerful damage cooldown of any Covenant, but it's also the most awkward to use.
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 excellent damage for the trouble and planning it causes, but its drawbacks are real nonetheless.
Another bonus of Venthyr is that its signature ability is one of the best ones Ret could hope for.
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 a slam dunk for the spec.
Venthyr has two viable Soulbinds in Nadjia and Theotar, who provide
兴奋追猎者
and
抚慰阴影
respectively. Theotar is slightly stronger, but they're very close and neither provide an increase that's massively above any of the other Covenant options.
