the top half of my build page looks like this now

my 1600 green is usually enduring speed

it just feels nice on warden

i mean you are a tank already

you disable enemy abilities and like

you uh

the flask

you flask

flask does so much shit

so being tanky-ish on top of slinging flask constantly makes you insanely hard to kill

a general outline of my gameplan looks like this

my first buy is close quarters or sprint boots, extra regen if i'm getting my ass beat then i just buy whatever color i didn't buy at first buy (close quarters if i got sprint boots and vice versa) if the lane is looking to be particularly boring then i get monster rounds instead of close quarters for the slightly higher farming efficiency save up for quicksilver reload mystic expansion after quicksilver titanic mag/enduring speed after that then i save for like burst fire or hunter's aura and get my gun 4.8 then buy greater expansion for spirit 4.8 then i just buy whatever kind of resist will be more immediately valuable

the through line is just having all three attributes at 4.8k alongside stacking some important mid-game items that warden likes

by 20 minutes in the game

i max flask first and then binding word

i've been experimenting with putting 2 tiers into the shield before i max binding word

but that's a little more selfish

i don't really have a self as it concerns my playstyle in this game

i want to be a team core

all of this is flexible and will definitely change per each unique game but that's an overview of what the build does

after i have all my 4.8ks my next buy is mercurial magnum and then spellslinger, those are my late core items

and then honestly my other tier 4s depend on the state of the game

frenzy, inhibitor, crippling headshot, lightning scroll, vortex web, leech

oh i also like to get superior cooldown as well

it has been working pretty well at least for today

@Polar_ that's my synopsis on the warden experience so far

oh also i guess i could go bullet resist shredder and mystic slow alongside quicksilver for my spirit 4.8 but i've yet to conceive of a scenario in which that would be better than just having a binding word with 30% more cast range and 30% harder to escape from

i have not even though it would be funny

yeah i tend towards close quarters usually

yeah but im trying to win

yeah i dont mean it like

building for ult is trolling

i'm just too far stuck in on the idea of maxing flask first

it's just so good

so early on

yes

that's correct

i did mention that in my big wall of text

but usually its not needed until later

it's usually my first lategame big purchase though

infuser would go crazy on a warden ult build

five thousand percent spirit lifesteal

I get this dark dream sometimes where I want to ruin someone's day and build vortex web with echo shard binding word

but I've yet to actually act on it

i've not tried him before

i tried some lash today

i enjoy him

I had an awesome game of billy today

I was laning into mirage and victor with my buddy on kelvin and we just turned that shit into a meat grinder
