Hey guys, I was wondering what you all thought about the Grand Warden, whether it be you have him, you've been raided by someone with him, your clanmate has him, or you don't.
This guy is definitely one of a kid with his Life Aura and Eternal Tome. I'll give my honest thoughts about both his offensive and defensive sides.
Offense: In all of my GiWiXx or GoWiXx attacks that I do (as I'm mostly a heavy hitter kind of player), I've noticed that this guy aline made attacking well built TH10s much easier with the HP buff and additive DPS focus fire. I have to admit, as much as I admire the range that he's able to fire from, his DPS isn't that impressive; albeit he's the support type of hero after all.
What makes his offensive capabilities really nice is that when paired with healers and other heroes, it simply adds a lot of extended firepower. Grand Warden with the King and Queen demolishes TH9.5s and halfway TH10s quite easily with his Eternal Tome. 4 seconds worth of protection allows my troops to withstand damage from nasty infernos for a few more seconds to destroy those juicy storages and sometimes take out the infernos before they take out my troops.
Defense: I place this guy in between the outer layer and the core of my base. This guy zaps all of the barbs, archers, goblins, minions, and wall breakers to death in one hit.
My recommendations for improving him:
1) Give him a 25-30 dps boost. As of lvl 10, he hits almost as strong as a lvl 3 wizard. For a "veteran battle-scholar" with magical artifacts, he sure hits wimpy.
2) Increase the Max HP allowed for a boost. The 50% HP increase is perfect for very low HP based troops, but when it comes to the higher hp troops like dragons, Lava hounds, pekkas, heroes, and golems, 275 HP isn't much. I'd recommend boosting Max HP buff to 400 at GW lvl 20 so the effect is noticeable and that TH11 players have a better chance at an offense against each other.
3) Change his attack animation. I don't like how it just shoots onexplosive simple laser beam. It doesn't look clean. Perhaps change the animation to a skinnier fireball just like a lvl 6 wizard.
Mod, please change the title to "Peer Discussion About The Grand Warden" please. Also if this thread not be merged into the TH11 update feedback thread, that would be nice. I believe every person has the right to easily see and discuss what other people are talking about when it comes to our new hero friend.
