FOR HONOR: Warden Guide


The Warden is the Vanguard class hero of the Knights faction. It’s classified as an easy to learn hero with an adaptable and straightforward playstyle that strikes a balance between Attack and Defense.

As a jack-of-all trades on the battlefield, Wardens are effective at just about everything that is needed while in battle. They can traverse the battlefield well and fight well with their two-handed swords. Their special abilities include an unblockable shoulder tackle, as well as a variety of strong interruption abilities and throws

Basic Tips

üThe Warden has three Attack Chains: Vanguards Advance is performed by using two consecutive Light Attacks followed by a Heavy Attack.

üGuardian’s Assault is performed by linking a Light Attack into a Heavy Attack.

üWarden’s Wrath links two consecutive Heavy Attacks. As with all Attack chains, be sure to switch Guard directions to confuse your opponent.

üWhen surrounded by enemies, press Light Attack and Heavy Attack simultaneously to perform a Zone Attack.

üWhile Sprinting, perform a Heavy Attack to initiate a Rushing Slash.

üPerform a Dodge combined with a Guardbreak to perform a Shoulder Bash.

üHold Guardbreak during a Shoulder Bash to push your enemy further over a greater range.

üWhen blocking Top Attacks from an enemy, follow up the block immediately with a Light Attack to counter your enemy with a Crushing Counterstrike.

Advanced Tips

üChain two Side Light attacks for a guaranteed Combo. Your enemy will be unable to block the second attack due to its speed.

üAfter a Light Attack, perform a Guardbreak to initiate a Shoulder Bash.
üHarass your enemy with combinations of Side Light Chain Attacks and
üShoulder Bashes.

üUse throws and Shoulder Bashes to knock enemies off environmental ledges and traps for easy, quick kills.

üKnocking enemies into walls with throws or Shoulder Bashes staggers them. Use this opening to counter Attack.

üUse your Top Heavy Attack to bait the enemy into a Parry.
üCanceling your Top Heavy Attack and block your opponent’s leaves them open to a Crush Counterstrike follow up

DOTA 2: Skin Creators Say Valve is Ripping Them Off

Designers who say they are able to make a living selling outfits and skins for Dota 2 say they may need to get new gigs now that they’ve noticed an unannounced change to the game’s economy affecting their bank accounts. In a post on the Dota 2 subreddit, a collective of anonymous artists alleged that Valve has not only been paying them less for items, but doing so without having properly notified them. We reached out to this collective, who agreed to discuss the issues on condition of anonymity because they fear Valve will retaliate against them.

Cosmetics are an attraction for any game, letting players customize their favorite character’s appearance for a small price. In Dota 2, custom content is a marketplace, where independent artists can create sets of cosmetics and sell them. Recent changes, however, have turned what was once a thriving economy into a ho...
