Warden
Last Updated: July 20, 2026
Warden Overview
Warden is an Epic Champion from the Dark Elves faction whose kit has been underwhelming since his release, leaving him in clear need of a meaningful buff to keep up with today’s standards.
His primary value comes from his A3, where he places Reflect Damage on all allies to help wear down the Fire Knight’s shield counters. However, this skill requires a heavy investment in Skill Tomes to reach a reliable cooldown, making it important to time the buff so the Fire Knight attacks into it. If you don’t invest the books, fully controlling the boss becomes key after the shield is down, and the buff expires.
Outside of this utility, his A2 places the small versions of Decrease ATK and Increase DEF, while his A1 has a chance to apply the small version of Weaken. Although this can be upgraded through the Nature’s Bounty Blessing, Warden simply doesn’t offer enough value to justify the investment in Skill Tomes and other resources, especially when there are far stronger alternatives.
