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
Still does decent damage after 5-27-2025 Growth nerf.
With all Late Game items you do around 900 DPS.
And with Glass Cannon stacks max 1200 DPS.
(All Bodyshots and Without box/bridge buffs.)
Feel free to copy and edit this build however you like.
Item Build
1 - Laning
Poke enemies with HB and QSR + Flask in lane.
Great for early poking.
Great hp increase and builds into Fortitude.
Slight DPS increase and builds into Swift Striker.
Significant dps increase pretty much required on Gun Warden.
Really nice to have on Warden.
Helps you secure kills easier, Binding word is easier to hit and stops enemies from escaping.
1.5 - Lane Optionals
More weapon damage while increasing sustain.
Good for playing more aggressive in lane and gives a decent move speed boost too.
2 - Post Laning
Add Sustain / Healing items when needed.
Almost doubles your DPS. Try to build stacks after buying this.
Significant HP increase and you almost never have to heal in base.
2.5 - Mid Game Optionals
Good if you can get stacks easily or if its a long game. Preferably bought in place of Enduring Speed.
Makes you tankier and increases your damage slightly.
Pretty good on Warden. Personally I don't like it.
3 - Late Game
4 - Luxury
Don't buy left to right. Buy what YOU / TEAM needs.
Significant DPS increase. 25% chance to do 2.25x damage is huge.
Anti-Plated Armor / Bullet Resist.
25% Firerate is really good. Also insanely good in teamfights.
Strong against ability/spirit builds. Builds up easily with Warden's Gun and works with Ricochet.
Wins 1v1's and Great in teamfights if combined with Ricochet
5 - More Situational Stuff
You can parry ults with this.
Useful for removing crucial stuns and strong DoT.
Better than Bullet Resilience reduces on-hit effects too. (Haze passive, Toxic Bullets, etc.)
Stronger debuff remover and gives 600 barrier. But can't remove stuns. (or ults)
Helps you keep your Glass Cannon stacks. also good for avoiding unnecessary deaths.
Bleed + Antiheal. Great against tanks.
Easier to farm and take down objectives faster.
Even more objective damage and good stats.
Helps you hit shots easier.
Strong with Warden's ULT. Helps you deal more damage and you get easier shots on them while they're stunned.
Useful for stopping ults and making someone useless.
