Baba vs Warden

Mystic vs Brawler

Kite and zone. Your spells punish brawlers who walk straight at you.

Your game plan as Baba

A chaotic hex-caster who turns fights into a mess of silences, slows and stolen Spirit.

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 ~29.4 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.

  Max first

  Early point

  Warden wins the farm: an early point into Baba's Brew clears waves and keeps you in lane.

• Baba averages 1.02 kills per death against Warden.
• Baba finishes 797 souls behind Warden on average — play for teamfights and scaling rather than lane kills.
