How Warden beats Apollo
Brawler vs Assassin
You have the health; they have the burst. Make them fight you long — every second past their first combo is in your favour. Buy defensive items early and stay near allies.
Your game plan as Warden
A one-man army who walks into six and dares them to fight.
Lane
Alchemical Flask lowers weapon damage and slows.
Mid game
Binding Word punishes enemies who don’t move. Chain it with your team’s CC.
Late game
Last Stand pulses damage and heals you, so commit into the middle of their team.
How to beat Apollo
A fencer. Apollo wins duels by deflecting your best shot and riposting into you.
- 01Don’t throw your key ability into Riposte. Wait for it to expire, then commit.
- 02Spread out; Itani Lo Sahn is a long slash that rewards stacked teams.
- 03Hard CC before he lunges: Flawless Advance commits him forward.
