Some of you may enjoy warden how he is now, but I think ubisoft could of done so much more for him. These are my thoughts on the matter and thank you all for watching.

I agree I feel like they could have done more for Warden but they didn't I think it's pretty hypocritical how every other rework character got some cool tweets and their movesets but all Warden gets is just a shoulder Bash and no adjustments and no increase for his hyper armor and I hate how he struggles against characters like Pirates still though I planned because he's fun and I'm just a warded man LOL after all have a duty to Serve and Protect the people of Asheville

For anyone wondering about the TV clip, the guy who was arrested apparently went on some schizophrenic rampage in Quebec city with a sword and didn't know what he was doing, and the jury blamed it on multiple things, including video games...

[@animationsfromtheabyss7649]

I feel they should add more of the "proper swordsmanship" and half swording to Warden, they advertise a classic, disciplined knight character with high oaths yet he just swings the sword around like a stick. Maybe even get a pommel stun bash like Kensei, like in the trailer when the Warden smashed his pommel on the head of the Orochi. But to make it distinct from Warmonger Ubi should probably make Warmonger's attacks seem more "violent" or chaotic, as Warmonger is advertised as an Apollyon follower, and Apollyon uses one-handed swings and things that aren't "civilized", making a clear distinction of an honorable knight and to put it simply a warmonger.

[@thisdude9363]

If you think anyone at Ubisoft has a single iota of an idea of what actually using a sword looks like, lol. Most games devs dont, and most consumers don't. Hell most normies still think medieval armor and swords weighed hundreds of pounds a piece, and that you can cut through steel plate if you're "strong enough."

[@Kunk_Manjeroon]

Honestly. “Master swordsman” but his special ability is a shoulder bash. I didn’t realize a shoulder is a sword? Warmonger should’ve been an appearance option for Wardens, and her attacks should’ve been what Warden gets. Also, why are his swings so slow? Every other Vanguard gets speedy lights. Warden acts like he has to swing a whole billboard. I just wish his bash was replaced with a halfswording ability and that he could have attack dodges.

[@SPARTON0Weezy]

I keep coming back to Warden because he has some of the best executions, The best fashion, the coolest voice actor (voice of Gaara from Naruto), best animations, and he just is the embodiment of the game. All intangible things lol

[@umbraoni4550]

Finally some recognition for my main Warden. Dude is so basic and his moves are so telegraphed. Been saying it since his rework. His combo and bashes are insanely punishable considering how all the other heroes have maybe only one move where if they whiff they'll get punished. But this guy's whole kit can be punished if he whiffs. I just pray that on his next rework, Ubi doesn't get lazy and just give him a side step light or heavy...

[@shmillbe3390]

That's what I've been saying

[@DarcleChorf]

I have about 12 reps with Warden my most played character, I’d say the worst part about warden is when the only time you will play warden for an extended time is when you’re trying to rep him up. Anything else is just monotony. What I would do for warden is to allow him to have crushing counters on all his lights (and speed the up the non-double tap). And make his 3rd stage bash knock people down, and add a ground chain finisher. Like Jorm and Cent because you’re not changing the fundamentals but you’re adding spice to the character that makes his more menacing.

[@Twick_Stick]

Yeah like when the enemy is knocked down allow him to half sword them in their chest, as my most played hero too and my first rep 8 it sucks to rely on shoulder bashing and he’s also the only vanguard without a dodge attack

[@cetus835]

I want to see the pre-release CONCEPT of half-swording to make a return and add to his kit maybe in the form of an alternate stance similar to HL. Be nice to see him actually utilize his cross-guard for striking (maybe similar to Valks 3rd chain light finisher) where it stuns and knocks the opponent straight back. Sadly it won't happen For Honor devs have proven pretty incompetent so I doubt they could incorporate, plus thiese changes would piss off current Warden players. But to this day the fact that Warden, the dude with a LONGSWORD, doesn't utilize half-swording just really irks me as a HEMA enthusiast.

[@retroknightnotlive6929]

The warden in the campaign isn't the original warden, it was him after his initial massive nerf where they didn't let you cancel your level 3 bash. If I remember correctly he always had 3 levels of bash but that nerf stopped him from being able to cancel anything past level 1 bash. Most of the heroes in the campaign are unchanged from the original release. Warden was changed in the campaign because he still had the one shot bug, which Ubisoft didn't like being accessible. He originally didn't have an animation for the shoulder bash either, he kinda just slid across the ground, after his nerf they added an animation and also changed the crushing counter animation. As a Warden main since the beginning when I first played him in the alpha, he's been on a wild ride and could really use a rework that adds to his moveset and not just changes his shoulder bash. Sure the few additions were nice, but when is my boy gonna be able to half-sword properly? He's the perfect hero for it and it could easily add to his character. I say go as far and do what Mordhau did and let him switch it on the fly, we know Ubisoft is capable of that kind of thing as we see what they did with Medjay.

[@falcongamingproductions9938]

I think warden needs the shuriken feat, but instead of throwing ninja stars he throws a bunch of pommels at you

I put 1 rep into warden when I first got the game. Then, looking for a more fun knight hero, I bought gladiator, and got him to about rep 20 without getting bored once. Kensei was my go-to vanguard for 10 reps until I started having a couple of bad games. Now I'm looking at warden for my vanguard orders. He's a nice breath of fresh air, but his side lights always bugged me. Your suggestions are really cool, and it doesn't necessarily have to buff him up because he's already pretty good. He just needs more to make him feel like he's using his sword as a sword and not a baseball bat. Nice video, rant over :)

I feel like Warden needs a moveset more orientated to actually using his sword more than his shoulder. The shoulder bask should be an option, bot the vast majority of his pressure.

What really made me feel cool with Warden early on was the Crushing Counterstrike. Once I saw they gave that unique ability away to Highlander, in all directions btw, I sort of knew Warden was going to be shelved by the Ubi team. Edit: When comparing Warmonger to Warden, she's literally just 2.0. Better in essentially every regard besides cosmetics. You can literally compare Gryphon to Lawbringer and say the same thing.

Akright, here goes. My dream warden. Moveset... - New light-heavy-heavy chain so that using light-light-heavy without the guaranteed double light bop can be mixed in for parry bait and target switching. Second hit in 3-hit chains are undodgeable to catch rolls and peel for teammates. - New move from neutral from inputting a backstep light: a hilt strike to the face, Righteous Strike. It's a bash that deals 5 damage and stuns, chains into second hit of the new combos. Similar speeds to toe stab. Opponent gets a GB if it's dodged and not followed up, kind of like ring the bell. It exists to increase neutral pressure since his dodges into shoulder bash can be GB'd when done early enough. Possibly a ganking tool as well. - New parry riposte, an unblockable zone attack kind of like Lawbringer's but faster. Like almost every riposte, it has hyper armor too and costs much less stamina to use than a normal zone. Mostly a stalling tool. - Lengthen the hitboxes of heavies again, even if only a little. They're pretty mediocre for hitting anyone externally right now. Feats... TIER 1 Replace Body Count with Fast Recovery Replace Conqueror with Rush (Come At Me has got to stay for the memes. Everyone has at least 1 shitty never-use-this feat right?) TIER 2 Replace Fiat Lux with Righteous Deflection TIER 3 Replace Takedown with Heal On Block TIER 4 Buff the damn Catapult already. Otherwise fine. After these changes he'd fit nicely into a staller/ganker role in Dominion. Although I expect he'd still a mid tier pick, he'd have a kit that makes sense and is usable!

[@babyduv3241]

As a warden main since the beta i can tell you that warden always had the 3 level charged bash. What came with the first rework was valiant breakthrough and the top unblockable finisher. It also changed the bash but that was only the soft feint into guardbreak. The reason they changed it from soft feint to hard feint was so that people would use the fully charged level 3 bash more since people were barely using it. I remember watching videos, back when the game came out, of Mege using it and seeing him get free top heavies and I was freaking out since i didn't even realize it was a guaranteed top heavy (and warden's top heavy did like 40dmg before ccu) since i never used it before cause everybody used the soft feint into guardbreak. The second rework brought the unblockable finishers from all sides and removed back dodge shoulder bash.

[@pioneershuffler]

as someone that’s played this game since launch n mained warden first n was the first hero I rep to 70. warden fell off for me when they they added more stamina costs bc of the side unblockable heavies (at least for me it feels like I can’t do much mix ups as before). everything feels slow n outdated in this state of the game. the tracking to me kinda sucks sometimes when target switching. antiganking with him doesn’t feel that great as before n I don’t really make much comebacks as before in those situations. his feats are a lil bit lacking nothing amazing jus alright. I really was obsessed with warden but rn it’s so hard to want to play him (literally haven’t played him in months) it’s jus not fun of course that’s jus my take, he needs a real rework to make him exciting again. w that being said I agree on the last segment of ur video cheers sol 🍻

[@NordicJarl27]

Loving the thumbnail

[@kommanderkermit4874]

I think crushing counters on all sides would be a fun and simple way to improve warden. Gives him some presure to faint his unblockable into same side light to try and catch people's parry attempts.

[@doubletheblack]

Wow, thanks for playing this game now I don't have to.

[@LeFloof]

Okay! So I have a few little things that I think would make him feel more alive as a whole: 1. Keep the chains that you mentioned, though it would likely require some new animations to be put in, it would be worthwhile 2. I’d say to keep any kind of top light warden preforms to be a crushing counter strike. He already maneuvers his blade in a manner that could essentially “deflect” a blade when he does it, and it would give more use to the crushing counter as a whole, considering that at the moment it boils down to “haha this is harder to punish than if I just tried to parry” 3. As for the parry riposte, I think that you make a very good point when you say that it doesn’t have to be useful, just has to give the character some…well, “character”. For the parry, it would be interesting to have him preform a hilt strike to the opponent’s face, and then be able to follow up with a light to continue the chain. His parry animation already displays the Warden half-swording his blade to counter the attack, so a quick smack with the hilt coming from the same direction of the attack, and then a follow-up light that is guaranteed to hit (only on the countered opponent of course) coming from the opposite side. For a top parry, it could either have a guaranteed side-light come from the left or right, OR include a pseudo-throw that features warden kicking the enemy to create a small amount of distance. The kick can be the same animation as his forward throw, but just knock them less distance so it isn’t entirely overpowered. For uniqueness from the other parry ripostes, the parry ripostes that come from the side can perhaps maneuver the warden toward the side the parry is on (though I’m not sure if this would create more or less issues, as positioning is important.) So for example, if the Warden parries from the right, he could preform a hilt strike going from right to left, and then regrip his sword and preform a follow-up light (like his current double sidelight). For the left it would be the same thing, just flipped. For the top parry, he smashes his hilt down on them as he takes a small step forward with his back foot, and then kicks with whichever foot is behind him after that. I don’t give specifics on which foot, because that depends on whether the warden guarded left or right last. If you’re feeling extra boring on the parries, it can just be a hilt strike followed with the good ol fashioned shoulder bash. Easiest option to animate, less to learn, and stays in line with how he is at the moment. I apologize for the mouthful, I just would like to see Warden become the swordsman he should’ve been. Any of these things can be tweaked, and I’d be happy to discuss this with anyone if they’d like.

[@CthulhusHeir]

YES!!! A pommel bash after successful parry would be beautiful. Having crushing counter on mid combo lights, even if it was just top, would be overpowered and, not to mention, not fit the actual combat style. Like how would you control your oppents blade when you're swinging your sword wilder than your light opener? Another comment said give a downed opponent punish like Jorm or Cent but that once again doesn't fit the style of an "honourable knight". He defo needs more combo options, like law lawbringer but they shouldn't be as constrained because warden is supposed to be extremely versatile. The biggest thing that Ubi could do is rework all of his animations as they just don't truly follow historical combat techniques, especially his top combos.

[@connorstasulli4217]

Don't apologize for having ideas friend! I especially like the idea of the parry bash riposte, and I think for the guaranteed light after the bash could just reuse highlanders' light animation to make it easy, or if they wanted to put some work in, they could do a half sword stab of some sort

[@LeFloof]

@@connorstasulli4217 I’d imagine if they did a half sword stab, it would look too similar to warmonger’s thing. HOWEVER, what about enabling Warden to follow up with a bash or unblockable heavy? The parry bash doesn’t have to stun, it can just do some minor damage, but the main utility would be allowing the warden to flow into the rest of his chain. Animation wise it would look pretty smooth too, regardless of the side the warden preforms his riposte on. Since he’s already half swording on the parry, and then striking with the pommel in a motion with the shoulder already facing the opponent, the shoulder bash would look natural, like it came from the for honor trailer. For the unblockable heavy, all he really has to do is regrip the sword handle and follow through.

As a Warden main the reason I Main Warden is because he’s the same ole same old though honestly here recently I’ve been in playing Warlord a lot maybe I just enjoy the back to the basics style move sets

[@sincerelybemore4446]

Love your vids, do u have one of these on lawbringer

[@alexandersheil906]

One key area that can be improved is Warden's double side lights. Warden's stamina can be drained pretty fast utilizing this technique given that Warden pays a hefty 15 stamina to utilize it, only to net them an extra 5 damage. (The first light requiring 9 stamina and the second requiring 6 stamina.) Knowing that this chains into a bash costing 22 stamina that does no damage, brings the total stamina cost of one attack cycle up to 37. At full stamina Warden may only land 3 attack cycles, while other characters get to be more aggressive by comparison. Centurion get's to perform the same light bash combo up to 6 times before running low, and Hitokiri with 5 attack cycles. Another crucial area that can help improve Warden's balance, is the colossal stamina cost of their bash. With their bash costing 22 stamina, it's very important to note that this is higher than most other characters with the exception of Nobushi. Characters that can utilize similar mechanics like Centurion, and Hitokiri have their bash stamina cost set to 15. By comparison Warden is consuming a lot more stamina to deal out only 15 damage with their double side lights which consume additional stamina. As stated previously, that brings the cost of one attack cycle, 22 stamina to bash, 15 stamina to land the double side lights to a staggering 37. That's almost one-third of Warden's total stamina.

Tbh I was kind of shooketh when u said Valiant Breakthrough came with his second rework, feels like it always was there

[@choosinkien268]

I thought the same I thought he was wrong

[@vinniemanpants2051]

Hey, do you have a link or more information on the French dude who was saying Warmonger lines? Thanks.

[@tempesttengu1114]

How do i get the male version of the warden and orichi?

[@jaystar6357]

“This warden only knows shoulder bash” Yeah that’s Warden lol

[@constantine7249]

Tier 4 - Pommel Toss: end thy enemy rightly. Basically, Hito's one shot but ranged and without the execution opportunity. Ubi has been embracing the memes somewhat, so why not this? XD And I do agree that there should be more swordsmanship in Warden, cause at the moment he's just throwing his weight around while swinging a baseball bat. Making the blades of his swords thinner and the crossguards less bulky could help as well.

[@hosshydraa1181]

Rep 70 Warden here and I love throwing out 2 heavies and being out of Stam.

[@TowerdefenseRules]

warden with a second stance like half swording would be awesome

[@FRSPK]

I think another thing they should do is add crushing counters on all sides

[@DayDream339]

You should do a berserk video like this. LOVE you vids keep it up!

[@rowansmith2599]

My opinion on a warden change would be a parry punish, based on what SolidSol said, on top of all the changes he mentioned maybe something similar to law-bringers punish, on a parry he shoves his hilt into the opponents eye and does a temp blind and small damage, leaving an opening for a new chain like law bringers and making him feel more smooth to play and makes parries more worth it rather than dodge bash lights. I love warden and he was my favourite character for a long time but his move set is just slow and can’t keep up with the new characters, a new chain like the one solid said and a parry punish for the amount of dodge heavy characters there are, i feel like would make him fun to play again.

[@ivankyselov2030]

When characters like Afeera, BP, Aramusha and Shinobi came out, lives of Warden mains (including me) were torn apart again(((

[@TylerSmith-om1cr]

As a new player, rep 5, I played mostly samurai but once I started playing warden I actually had a lot more fun than I expected, the drip mixed in with easy yet sorta effective moves is actually pretty entertaining

[@prosketch95]

Back dodge shoulder bash R.I.P

[@kylerawdin6838]

Better feat selection or more options available would be really tight

[@katsuragipapi3191]

Warden feels like the only hero in the game without a dodge attack these days

[@AlarchyGaming]

Warden is the type of knight i want in a game its why i use him and i dont have warmonger yet but when i do they will be my main

[@BAMBI661]

Your vids is a W I enjoy them a lot, keep it up man 🫶🏽

[@halilozansevindik2876]

so i started play yesterday , can someone tell me how can i block the man with poseidon weapon he is killing me everytime

[@MotivationPurification]

Warden needs his zone's stamina cost reduced from 60 to 30 and it needs to become undodgable to catch ballarina dancers. He also needs his valiant breakthrough to be feintable. Finally, he needs 3 lights not just 2.

[@Zuna.R6]

Can somebody pls tell mewhats the song at 11:33 called? 😂 I herad it so many times but i forgot the name...

[@aheemakesgames2914]

Warden has an amazing move set of bash light light repeat

[@SNIPEZisGood]

“I played Warmonger so you don’t have too” I predicted the future, yes I know

[@dedethedeadbeatdemon4902]

to be honest i play Warden to remind myself of the older times the more simpler days of for honor and i have fun playing him. but i agree with this video 100% Warden buff baby!

[@nontiinterssa]

What's the name of the piano composition played as background all over the video??

[@SolidSol69]

Chopin nocturn 9 op 2

[@lukaalborne40]

I live warden so much my account name is literally Chef Warden (I changed my name when the apron fashion dropped). When hits dropped I stopped playing but recently came back. Seeing the hero that has a stance change has me thinking that warden could have that same thing but a half sword stance instead. This was an awesome video and I’m loving that there’s new content for my boy after coming back.

[@mariosampana7810]

Virgin Warden Main and For Honor player but after watching this, I want my boy to get some love by getting some actual changes and I rely so much with his bashes and it does get boring. I really love him too.

[@mr.memes0w053]

Love the content Keep it up

[@Avaricosity]

What would I do about feats? Give each hero feats unique to them (for those that don't already have feats unique to them) for each tier. Heroes default to these feats when bought (like the DLC heroes). The second change I would make is to have every "common" feat (feats not unique to a character) available to every hero or maybe have grouped feats so every assassin could pick Fiat Lux for example and every vanguard could take morale booster. This would allow every character to choose from a plethora of feats and therefore, each character can have some viability in Dominion (No more bad picks). - If this change makes the lore monkies mad then separated feats by faction could work, it doesn't matter how to me. I just want more feat options. The upside to this, other than the obvious, is that it would allow Ubi to give us more progression systems. Each rep in a hero is a new feat unlock from a list, you can choose what to unlock per rep level. The third change I would make is to rebalance every feat to fit this new standard :pain: Side note: I'm still hoping for a change to the perk system. It doesn't feel fair that for assassins to get max health they need to execute each person on the enemy team but heavies get extra health just for leveling up in a match. Alongside *many* perks being downright useless (I'm looking at you, survival instinct). Side side note: I don't expect Ubi to do any of this anytime soon either because the interns aren't the fastest at pushing content and this would be a major change to the game.

[@SolidSol69]

I'd also like a feat revamp as well. Good feats are what make a hero viable to a huge degree. If there was more flexibility, there would be fun build variety even if not optimal, but this wouldn't happen in the near future sadly :/

[@evandutro7702]

The skin is supposed to be Griffith from Berserk. There's a little discription in the page where you can select it that's like " drank the blood of a beast and gave up his humanity to achieve peace".
