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.

Consider buying earlier against Warden or Haze, extra stam can save you from early deaths!
500
500
Pick this up as soon as you start roaming to jungle and gank
Situational Lane Items
Add Extra Regen if getting heavily harassed, Healing rite you shouldn't need but can be a good crutch if you're struggling. Infuser is good against heavy spirit harass. Reactive good vs Talon or Beebop
500
Buy if getting harassed or expecting heavy harass to sustain lane
500
Don't usually recommend, but can be a crutch for newer players and used in lieu of going back to base.
1250
Consider buying this against a cracked beebop or stuff like grey talon traps or Haze sleeps
Core Items
Prioritize Pulse first, then filling slots w/ 1200s, you can hold off on getting one of the armors if not as needed until later. Sell Resto or Extra regen if need more space
3000
This item really enables your ganking and jungling, try to pick this up as soon as possible!
1250
The extra stun duration really sets up your heavy melees post charge and post ult.
1250
1250
1750
Look to time picking this up while running urn through the tunnels to secret shop!
1250
Only pick up if needed, against heavy bullet damage like Haze, McGinnis, Ivy, Wraith, otherwise hold off until you have flex slots
1250
I usually pick up just one armor early, and spirit is almost always the best choice.
3500
Get ready to turn into One Punch man
3000
Helps enable assassinating enemy squishies. Look to ult a singled off grey talon or vindicta!

Really helps add more mobility in the late game, potentially pick up before upgraded armor if you think you can get away w it.
Situational
Usually get one active to counter the best player on the enemy team, reactive barrier is good vs Stakes or Hooks
6200
Look to pick this up early to shut down hard to catch enemies and shut down the enemy carry.
1750
Useful again heroes like Pocket to prevent them from getting away
3000
A good budget item to shut down things like Seven ult, or help with chasing down heroes that tend to get away.
1250
Consider picking up against enemies with high bullet damage that are a problem
3000

Useful against Wraith ult, Warden cage, Seven stun etc.
Late Game / Luxury
After you complete your core items, feel free to add any of these luxury items. In order of my favorite, Superior CD + Kevlar is a good combo if you want to lean into always having your Ult late game.
6200
6200
6200
Combos nicely w/ superior cooldown to build towards your ult
4250
A potential pick up in games that go late, your ult becomes much more important to initiating fights and this lets you do it more.
3000
6200
Big scary abams
6200
Useful if you find yourself getting heavily CC'd post ult, if your ult is max'd pop 3s after ulting

Upgrades a core item, really isn't needed but if you have money and no flex spots consider this on your 1

Reduces enemy heal reduction, look to pickup against heal bane.

Laning Phase
Start with resto shot, prioritize healing when off CD by shooting enemy heroes. Add extra regen if needed and getting harrased heavily (a lot of times I will be 300 HP and just sit in hard cover waiting for my 3 and Extra Regen to heal me) Ideally shoot creeps low enough to melee to secure last hits. Dip in and out of cover to minimize early damage. Once you have your ult, look to kill your opponent or possibly gank a nearby lane. Abrams can easily dive the enemies underneath their guardian with support.
Mid Game
Once you kill your your tower, look to start ganking and helping teammates kill their tower, while farming neutrals in between. Melee charge + Pulse lets you farm any creep camps you want, make sure you utilize melee charge heavy to reload your gun. Convince your team to run urn, or run it yourself with enduring speed, try to farm neutrals aggresively stealing enemy neutrals when possible. Look to ult enemies who just used their movement ability (for example an vindicta that just landed). Don't forget your combo! Ult -> Heavy -> Charge -> Heavy (duration extended helps gurantee this)
Late Game
Once you complete your Core items you should be fairly hard to kill. However you do start to fall off against certain enemy carries. Make sure you buy the correct situational items into the late game to shut down whatever the enemy team is doing right. For example Slowing hex for vindicta / grey talon / pocket. Curse for enemy Seven, Haze, Infernus etc.
