Warden
Weakens his enemies and chases them down

Warden leads from the front, jumping into the fray and hindering his opponents' ability to fight effectively. But what Warden considers brave, others consider reckless, and if he's not careful he can easily find himself in over his head.

Description

Use Goo Ball for damage in the early game, especially
after you get T2. T1 in Punch for displacement and
rotations.

Back to Cube second post Splatter nerfs. After Core
items, build as needed.

Item Build

Early Game

Early Options

0-2

Deadlock Item

I

Active

Healing Rite

Use it to keep Emblem active, or your lane partner alive

Deadlock Item

I

Extra Regen

Just some extra health back

Deadlock Item

I

Extra Health

If your whole team is squishy

Core Items

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Warp Stone

Double Goo Ball hit. You should have Goo Ball T5 right around now

Deadlock Item

III

Torment Pulse

I like this early, helps with farming, really good damage

Deadlock Item

III

Tankbuster

Doesn't feel as good as before, but still really important for damage

Mid Options

1-2

Deadlock Item

II

Debuff Reducer

Especially vs slows or roots. Seven, Warden, Vindicta, Infernus

Deadlock Item

II

Healbane

Feels almost mandatory a lot of the time. Easy to apply AOE

Deadlock Item

II

Active

Return Fire

Extra damage back vs M1s. A little more offensive than Suppressor

Deadlock Item

II

Suppressor

I think this item is underrated. The fire rate slow is comparable to Juggernaut, bonus Spirit is rare these days, and Torment Pulse applies this really easily

Late Game

Pick a few, no order

Deadlock Item

III

Fortitude

I like all of the things this item does. The health is notably really good with your ult. Also makes it easier to kill objectives

Deadlock Item

III

Superior Duration

You don't really care about duration on anything but Goo Ball, but you want the T2 anyway, it's only 1600 more, and it is +6%

Deadlock Item

III

Greater Expansion

Hard to squeeze in but ability range is REALLY good on Viscous, and with your items

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Phantom Strike

If they have Bebop, Lash, Seven, Gray Talon, or Vindicta I would buy this. More optional otherwise but still very good against M1s

Deadlock Item

IV

Witchmail

This plus Enchanter's is 32% Spirit Resist normally, 73% in Goo Ball. 10 Spirit is notable and the passive is good

Late Options

As needed, probably 0-2

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Debuff Remover

If you bought Debuff Reducer, just upgrade it

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Healing Nova

Idk I feel like this is a decent mid / late game pickup if everyone needs some health back

Deadlock Item

III

Active

Decay

Actually does a ton of damage and good anti heal. Only problem is that it's single target

More Survivability

Deadlock Item

IV

Plated Armor

Haze, Infernus, maybe Wraith, Seven. Anyone with on hit stuff

Deadlock Item

IV

Diviner's Kevlar

Straight health and more time in Goo Ball. Good grab if you're dying too fast

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Colossus

If you really need to be the tank for the team

More Utility

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Divine Barrier

A nice kind of supporty option, that isn't healing based

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Magic Carpet

Flying Goo Ball!

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Curse

If they have one person you cannot deal with

More Damage

Deadlock Item

IV

Boundless Spirit

Straight damage bump on everything, you already paid for 1600 and no slot

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Scourge

Really good damage, esepcially if they're heavy on tanky frontliners

Deadlock Item

IV

Spirit Burn

Actually does so much damage. Antiheal is absurd too

Deadlock Item

IV

Active

Infuser

Kind of testing this right now. Popping this and then smacking someone with Goo Ball and Splatter sounds fun
