Apollo vs Warden

Assassin vs Brawler

Don’t take an even fight; brawlers out-last you. Burst them when their big cooldown is down, then leave.

Your game plan as Apollo

A fencer. Apollo wins duels by deflecting your best shot and riposting into you.

How to beat Warden

A one-man army who walks into six and dares them to fight.

• 01Move when Binding Word is cast; it only immobilises if you stay.
• 02Interrupt Last Stand during its 2-second charge.
• 03Kite him; Willpower is his only escape.

1. 01Warden wins the farm by ~22.6 last hits per match. Prioritise safe last hits and denies over trades, and let your lane partner zone.
2. 02Warden wants close range. Keep troopers between you, save stamina for a dash out, and punish them when they over-commit.
3. 03Warden has sustain (Last Stand). Short, sharp trades beat long ones — buy anti-heal early.
