Mid Game

Mid game is Warden's strongest phase. Acquire Slowing Hex, Divine Barrier, Fleetfoot, Slowing Bullets, and Enduring Speed to prevent enemies from escaping. With Alchemical Flask (1) maxed, add Suppressor to duel any enemy. Focus on barriers instead of armor, choosing Combat Barrier and Enchanter’s Barrier. Once slots are filled, save for Veil Walker to maintain late-game effectiveness.
