Hey there! So you're diving into Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel and want to know about the Warden? Awesome choice! This hero is a real tank, a noble guardian turned vanguard, and honestly, a bit of a last-of-his-kind type. They're all about defense and holding the line, which is super useful when the hordes are coming for you. Let's break down what makes the Warden tick. ## Class Traits These are the core abilities that define the Warden. You get them right off the bat and they really shape how you play. * Ground Smash: This replaces your regular Dash. Instead of just zipping around, you'll do a heavy shield smash. It deals 20 damage and has a Medium knockback, so it's great for creating some breathing room. * Tower Shield: This is your bread and butter for defense. It gives you a +25% Block Chance, meaning you'll be ignoring a lot of incoming damage. Super important for survivability! * Iron Within: Dwarves are naturally tough, right? This trait gives you +200 Maximum Health and makes you immune to Slow effects. So yeah, you're a walking fortress. ## Subclasses Once you start progressing, you'll unlock subclasses that let you specialize the Warden even further. Each one offers a different flavor: * Adventurer: If you're all about finding loot and getting that sweet, sweet experience, this is your pick. You get a 25% Bonus Skill or Reward Chance, +15% Experience Gained, and some other goodies like increased Collecting Range and Healing Power. It even has a 'Gold Rush' effect when you pick up gold! * Shieldbearer: Leaning even harder into the tank role? The Shieldbearer is for you. It gives you +2 HP Regeneration per second and an extra +10% Block Chance. Plus, it has an ability called 'Iron Wall' that gives you a shield equal to 50% of your max Health on a 70-second cooldown. Talk about sturdy! * Weapon Master: This subclass is for those who want to dish out some serious pain while still being tough. You get +15% Critical Hit Chance and a special 'Weapon Skill Critical Hit Chance' of +100%! It also has a 'Demolition' effect that deals 50 damage and a 25% chance to reset your Weapon Skill cooldown on an attack kill (with a 5-second cooldown). ## Weapons The Warden can use a variety of hammers and scepters, each with its own passive bonus and unique Weapon Skill. Here are a few to look out for: * Craftsman's Hammer: Comes with -8% Cooldown reduction on its passive. Its Weapon Skill, 'Gear Wheel', is a tricky projectile that splits and changes direction, dealing 30 damage and applying Bleed for 4 seconds. * Heavy Scepter: Offers +20% Critical Hit Damage. Its 'War Machine' skill summons a ballista that shoots arrows with various effects for 7.5 seconds, costing 5 Soulstones. * Warhammer: Gives +8% Movement speed. The 'Throwing Mallet' skill bounces between up to 7 enemies, dealing 45 damage and costing 10 Soulstones. * Dwarven Hammer: Provides +50 Maximum Health. Its 'Maul Slam' skill is a powerful AoE attack that hits 3 times, with a 25% chance to stun for 2.5 seconds, costing 12 Soulstones. * Ceremonial Hammer: Boosts Healing Power by +15%. Its 'Njord Festival' skill buffs you and debuffs enemies with damage over time and a 100% Disease Chance, costing 15 Soulstones. * Clan Hammer: Grants +13% Experience Gained. Its 'Call of the Ancestors' skill summons spirits that deal 20 damage over 5 charges, costing 20 Soulstones. ## Autocast Skills These skills trigger automatically, so you don't have to worry about them. The Warden has Iron Fist as an autocast skill. At its base level, it deals 22 damage to 2 enemies in a 2m radius over 2 seconds, with a chance to stun at higher levels. It's a nice little bit of extra damage while you're busy doing other things. Keep an eye on these as you level up, as they can make a big difference in combat!
