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

Healing Nova, Divine Barrier, and Rescue Beam. You will almost ALWAYS be last in souls yet top the scoreboard for healing and assists. Pick a buddy and pray they can carry. Always make sure a teammate's in front of you.

Item Build
OH NO I AM BAD AT DEADLOCK

HA HA LOSER

item
Active
Healing Rite
500

I hope you feel sorry for yourself. Sell later to hide your shame, or upgrade to Healing Nova early.

Laning

Yep, even at the start, you're playing defensively.

item
Active
Divine Barrier
1250

This lets your lane buddy dive DEEP. Be proactive or reactive. A definite rush buy. Self-cast before your 4 for more speed!

item
Active
Rescue Beam
3000

You bet we're buying this ASAP. I can feel my jawline already getting sharper from the raw gigachad energy.

item
Rapid Rounds
500

Free speed!

item
Mystic Reach
500

It stretches and expands to almost any size.

item
Enduring Spirit
500

Mainly to upgrade to Slowing Hex, later. But hey, free health.

item
Enchanter's Barrier
1250

A shield and cooldown reduction. What's not to like?

item
Active
Slowing Hex
1750

This lets your team cheese early game kills! You should really look up what it silences.

Optional Goodies!

Items to make you squirrely. Not high priority, so use your judgement. Get at least one.

item
Sprint Boots
500

If you still need a flex slot by the time this item starts taking up space, I don't know what to tell you.

item
Restorative Shot
500

Free bullet shield!

item
Hollow Point Ward
500

Free spirit shield!

item
High-Velocity Mag
500

Even more bullet shield! Pair with Restorative Shot if it looks like a gun-heavy opposition.

item
Mystic Vulnerability
1250

VERY useful if your carry uses spirit damage. Don't pick this expecting yourself to benefit.

item
Bullet Resist Shredder
1250

VERY useful if your carry uses damage that isn't spirit damage.

item
Extra Charge
500

Meh. This early in the game, you don't hold onto your 1, and it only equates to 1 extra bomb every 5 minutes.

item
Duration Extender
1250

Not a game changer, here, but if you're steamrolling, then you might as well since you get its upgrade later.

Early Game

Always keep a friend in front of you!

item
Improved Cooldown
1250

Who wants spam for dinner?

item
Healing Booster
1250

mmm helf (Yes, this affects healing on other players.)

item
Superior Cooldown
4250

On your 1, but also lets your Rescue Beam cooldown faster, too!

item
Rapid Recharge
3500

Makes farming even easier!

Pick one.

Based on your teamplay, of course.

item
Active
Healing Nova
1750

The reliable option. Gives you extra range on everything, too!

item
Active
Decay
1250

The enemy can't just heal! That's your job!

item
Active
Silence Glyph
3000

For the more dive/flank oriented teammates. Sell Slowing Hex if you want both this and Healing Nova.

item
Active
Knockdown
3000

When those little boogers on the enemy team won't stop flying, ulting, or running.

PICK A DEFENSE OPTION, IDIOT

(Optionally, of course.)

item
Active
Warp Stone
3000

A safe pick. Your boosted range and cooldown makes you slippery. Works during your 4! Sell Slowing Hex and Enduring Spirit.

item
Spirit Armor
1250

NO LIKE SPIRIT

item
Improved Spirit Armor
4250

SPIRIT BAD ME HATE Hey, look, free Spirit Power.

item
Bullet Armor
1250

BULLET HURT

item
Improved Bullet Armor
4250

OW BULLET HURT MORE

DO YOU SUCK EVEN MORE THAN USUAL? THEN SNAG A COUNTER:

item
Active
Metal Skin
3000

STOP SHOOTING ME

item
Active
Debuff Remover
4250

STOP ULTING ME

item
Active
Return Fire
1750

I SAID STOP SHOOTING ME

Mid Game

Hang back or give some aerial support.

item
Mystic Reverb
6200

If for some reason the baddies don't hate you yet, this will convince them.

item
Mystic Slow
4250

Yeah, they ain't moving.

item
Superior Duration
4250

WAY more valuable on your 4. Silences foes for SIX SECONDS. They're effectively removed from the game.

item
Improved Reach
3500

You have every item which increases ability range, already. But you might as well upgrade it.

"Why Is This Still Going" Game

uuuggghhh

item
Active
Magic Carpet
6200

BEEG BOOMB Sell Divine Barrier.

item
Crippling Headshot
6200

Finally, a use for your gun!

item
Escalating Exposure
7450

Fine, you can do damage now. But don't get cocky.

item
Active
Curse
6200

Screw this person in particular. (Only get this if you're not getting Magic Carpet and really need Curse.)

item
Active
Silencer

Sell an active you don't like, I guess. Why is this game still going, again?

item
Soul Rebirth

I mean, whatever. If you're dying this late, you're probably losing anyway.

YOUR GAME PLAN

Stay around a teammate or in friendly territory, otherwise your game will end up like a hermit's life: you will die alone. Zigzag farming up in pushed lanes, then fly off when you're needed. You will generally have low soul value but high game impact, meaning dying at least doesn't reward the enemy too much. Understand the range of your Rescue Beam. Use your active items during your ult. Enjoy the warm fuzzies when people thank you. Your job is to control the map. Always be ready to fly off and join in on a team fight in between grabbing farm. Oh, I guess you have a gun or something.

IF YOU'RE REALLY BAD

I bet you were wondering where I tucked these away, huh?

item
Ammo Scavenger
500

Your gun is stupid fast, stupid loaded, and stupid accurate. I guess you're just stupid.

item
Enduring Speed
1750

If you're in a situation where you need this, you're pretty much dead, anyway.

item
Extra Stamina
500

See previous item.

item
Basic Magazine
500

Who do you think you're going to be shooting at?

item
Monster Rounds
500

I actually like these, I just put this here to make you read this.

item
Spiritual Overflow
6200

Silly support slave, your role is for OTHER people to have fun!

item
Boundless Spirit
9700

What build do you even think you're using?

item
Extra Health
500

Have you tried NOT getting into situations where you get magdumped?
