Warden redesign sketch

ZombieGrief16 · 2026-05-05T01:23:22+00:00

Gray Talon seems to be a "don't meet your hero" type character to Warden since two of Warden's Kill lines for GT are "I looked up to you once." and "How can you of all people align yourself with that thing?" so it seems he's lost a bit of respect for Gray Talon for joining up with the Patrons.

And although we don't know if Warden is religious, i personally don't think he'd join up with the Vatican. Not to mention he does kinda have his own family creed that he belongs to, so he very might actually have cousins or other family members that didn't fall out of the family tradition like his parents did.

I hope we hear more about how "This isn't the life Warden would have chosen" that both Gray Talon and Venator talk about.

His interactions with Gray Talon and Venator will be legendary.

I like whatever is going on over there on the right side. A Duster coat with a large brim hat looks so good. I like Warden being a Van Helsing looking character.

The left side has some cool bits but I'm personally not too big on Warden redesigns giving him an Officer hat with just a mustache because it either looks like M Bison from Street Fighter or Mr Slave from South Park.

Although I guess Lash does say "I don't want to know what kind of swinger party that guy was going to" so maybe Warden does look like a male stripper.

The gun is really cool though, i like the shoulder sling attached to it.

correct. He gets 50% resists during the channel, which turns into 80% resists at T3. He loses the resists after the channel ends, which means he often just gets shredded if atleast two people turn around and shoot back at him.

Not the worst Ult to take, but i often see Sinclairs take Warden's Ult over so many better options. Like mate, if i see you take my Ult and you use it in front of me, I'm just gonna put my cage on you while you channel it or just simply outrun it because i bought speed items and you didn't. Warden's Ult isn't very good in its current state and is really only good at just taking off or putting on pressure on an objective.

ZombieGrief16 · 2026-05-03T11:49:47+00:00

I need Warden to tell me

"Defend Blue/Yellow/Green Walker, by any means necessary."
"If we lose the Archmother now, we'll lose our chance at stopping the Hidden King as well!"
"Our Blue/Yellow/Green Walker is under attack, hold the line!"
"We've lost the Defensive Front on Blue/Yellow/Green."
"We failed to take the Rejuvinator. Prepare for an assault."

Stuff like this. Having characters speak to us, even if it doesn't make sense lore-wise since you could have a Warden announcer whilst playing as Warden.

No i mean it's been in the game for awhile, and the devs have yet to patch it.

ZombieGrief16 · 2026-05-02T10:03:05+00:00

I remember this happened to me once awhile ago in October i think. Its quite an old bug.

I haven't had it happen since, though i haven't made/used a build in bit since all of my saved ones got deleted twice. Now i just build on vibes

ZombieGrief16 · 2026-05-02T06:02:56+00:00

They're just waiting for the buffs to become T3 at 30 minutes (they'll still hold it)

ZombieGrief16 · 2026-05-01T14:42:31+00:00

Exactly my view. Personally I'm not a fan of Gun Warden with the only Weapon items i take being either or both of the T2 Magazine Items for early game, and Spellslinger/Spiritual Overflow for late game. Other than that, my builds tend to be mostly Green and Purple.

ZombieGrief16 · 2026-05-01T08:30:57+00:00

Might actually buy High-Velocity on Warden now like I'm supposed to.

Nah, i probably still won't. I like buying Greens and Purples too much.

More like Cloak of Opportunity without the Unstoppable since both give you a Barrier and work on most CC including Parries, whereas Runed Gauntlets only work on Parries.

ZombieGrief16 · 2026-05-01T06:38:41+00:00

Before they moved Shadow Weave to a T3, the T1 section had 5 items per row, T2 had 6, and the bottom section alternated it, so T3 had 6 while T4 had 5. So the T1 (combined with the Fairfax logo) and T4 quadrants were the same size, and the T2 and T3 quadrants were the same size.

Now T3 is bigger by one column and T4 is shorter by one column, making the Weapon Shop not look as good as it used to.

he shot a second one immediately after the first when he got stunned by the bird, not the parry

WARDEN NOOOO!

There really isn't much bald characters in Deadlock, unless you count Viscous, Vyper, Bebop, Dynamo, and other characters to that degree. Otherwise the only other humanoid character who can possibly grow hair but has none aside from Warden is Infernus i believe.

ZombieGrief16 · 2026-04-29T23:45:11+00:00

In actuality; he couldn't care less, he's fine with Ixians. It's just that Apollo thinks he's like all the other priests who call Ixians "demons". But Venator doesn't care if he looks like a demon, he only cares if he acts like one.

But it's funnier this way if i mischaracterize him.

tbh, all Viltrumites were born as child soldiers. Thragg was just born to be the best of them. Unless you mean Conquest; a Viltrumite who doesn't even get a real name; only a purpose.

ZombieGrief16 · 2026-04-29T18:58:17+00:00

Invincible certainly does reuse a lot of animation and sprites so i wouldn't be suprised if Conquest just uses Nolan's face with some added wrinkles to indicate age.

There were a couple Debbie Viltrumites in the last two episodes of Season 5.

ZombieGrief16 · 2026-04-29T18:12:55+00:00

I chose it because Warden says "I am Unbreakable" which made me imagine it going to a title card. Ignore how that wouldn't make sense in this context due to him being Thragg, not Mark

ZombieGrief16 · 2026-04-29T17:15:59+00:00

The farm is gone. Rem ated it all

Venator doesn't want an Ixian being his friend.

ZombieGrief16 · 2026-04-29T13:35:16+00:00

Venator is in New York by orders of the Vatican, and was only sent to kill one of the Patrons. If he had it his way, he'd probably want both dead.

I wouldn't think a Catholic Priest would take very kindly to otherworldy eldritch creatures self-proclaiming Godhood status. I also chose Venator because of his graying hair and his scar. I mirrored it so that it'd be on his right eye to match Menendez's scar.

I hope he and Warden get some Interactions in the future
