Warden vs Vyper

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.

How to beat Vyper

A slippery gunner who slides into your backline with a dagger and a bola.

• 01Stay above half health; Lethal Venom scales with missing health.
• 02Dodge Petrifying Bola’s direct hit.
• 03CC her before she slides away.

1. 01Warden out-farms Vyper by ~5.9 last hits per match. Contest every orb and punish them for walking up to last-hit.
2. 02Vyper looks for burst windows. Don’t sit in lane at low health, and ping the moment they disappear — they’re hunting.
3. 03Your own sustain (Last Stand) wins extended lanes — stay longer than they can.
