Warden Tips & Tricks
Here are some of the ways you can use the Warden in combat effectively:- Their strongest single attack is the top heavy.
- Their heavy attacks have good range – you can use them to keep enemies at bay.
- You can chain together light attacks with shoulder bashes to stunlock an unsuspecting enemy.
- Use the shoulder bash to hurt enemies using the environment – shove them into a bonfire, or off a cliff.
- If you bash an enemy into the wall, they will be stunned for longer.
All the level 2 stuff are the ones you unlock from the start
A lot of these directions are wrong
Can anyone explain how to punter basic attacks? I know the warden has a devastating counter to an overhand attack but I mean can you parry attacks on general? Is there a timing element? A specific button press? Anything other than just a simple block? Thanks all.
Hey there Nick.
When an enemy attacks you the arrow will turn red and flash white ones right before it hits you. All you need to do to parry is press heavy attack at that white flash. You will then parry it. Patty also works against attacks that are unlockable!
One small mistake in this guide though:
To do the crushing counterstrike as a warden, you need to parry an overhead attack with a LIGHT attack instead of a heavy. If you do it with a heavy you’ll do a normal parry. You can’t parry any other direction with a light attack though, so watch out for that.
Can you only crushing counterstrike against heavy attacks? or also light ones?
Any overheard.
