Valaineral is a solid Paladin tank trust available early for San d'Oria players. He holds enemy attention well and can sustain himself with self-healing. He is a good alternative to Excenmille, Curilla, or Trion if you want variety in your tank selection, and performs reliably through early and mid-game content.
