__TOC__
==Description==
The '''Warden''' is an advanced ground [[Towers|tower]] with short range that can be purchased from the store for {{Coins|4,000}} after triumphing [[Pizza Party]]. Alternatively, it is obtainable through a [[Gamepasses|gamepass]] for {{Robux|450}} without having to triumph the map.

The '''Warden''' attacks enemies with its baton. The '''Warden''' does not deal damage when it fires, it instead deals damage when its weapon contacts the enemy. It also cannot change which enemy it is targeting while swinging it. Because of this, the '''Warden''' may sometimes miss the target, or hit an entirely different enemy. Every third swing is a crit, dealing more damage and stuns an enemy for a few seconds. From Level 3, the '''Warden''' stuns enemies with every hit. The stun time depends on how big the enemy is; the bigger the enemy is, the shorter the stun time is. Additionally, if an enemy has the [[Stun Immunity]], it is only slowed down by 40% instead of being completely stopped. It can only damage one enemy with each swing.

At Level 4, it gains a riot shield, which it uses to block stuns. The stun block has a 6 second cooldown and the parry itself lasts 1 second. After succesfully blocking a stun, the '''Warden''' will grant itself a temporary 100% [[Damage Buff]] and [[Stun Immunity]] for 6 seconds. When dealing crit damage, the [[Damage Buff]] will boost the crit damage by as much as regular damage. For example, for 80 damage and a crit multiplier of 3, an 100% [[Damage Buff]] boosts the [[Warden]]'s damage from 80 to 160, increasing it by 80. Because of this, the crit damage, which is 240, will also get increased by 80 to 320.

The '''Warden''' has a placement limit of 12 per player.

==Strategy==
*A few '''Wardens''' can be pretty effective in the mid-game.
**By late-game, its Level 4 can also be useful due to its parry effectively granting it permanent [[Stun Immunity]] through the parry itself and the actual immunity the parry gives.
*Due to '''Warden's''' short range, it should be placed at bends or turns on the map to make the most use of its range.
**The [[DJ Booth]] can be useful at increasing its range.
*The '''Warden''' will often struggle against large hordes of enemies, as it can only damage one enemy at a time. Therefore, placing multiple '''Wardens''' or using support towers like the [[Commander]] is recommended.
*As the '''Warden's''' Level 3 and 4 upgrades are quite expensive, the [[Farm]] or the [[DJ Booth]] can be used to afford them quicker.
*The '''Warden''' has lead detection at Level 2, making it fairly useful against [[Frost Invader]]s and [[Elite Lead]]s.
*The '''Warden''' can parry stuns at Level 4, as it unlocks Riot Shield, making it useful against enemies that can stun multiple towers, such as major bosses.
**It also very effective against major bosses, '''if''' they stun while in range of your Wardens, due to the 100% [[Damage Buff]].
**On a lot of waves, no enemies that stun spawn or only enemies that debuff towers appear, making its parry get triggered less. This can be corrected to some degree by activating [[Exploding Enemies]] in match, which will make every enemy stun towers on their death, making the parry trigger more often.
*Multiple Level 4 '''Wardens''' can quite effectively slow down enemies.
**This is very useful for towers with long firerates, cooldowns or spawnrates, as it gives them more time to attack an enemy.
**Larger enemies, like the [[Slow Boss]] will be stunned for a shorter period of time.
**Enemies with [[Stun Immunity]], like the [[Molten Titan]] will only be slowed down rather than stunned.
**The '''Warden's''' stun is very weak against major bosses, as they all have a significantly reduced stun time. Additionally, they are only slowed down instead of stunned.
*The '''Warden''' has a small placement footprint, meaning that it can squeeze in beside other towers quite easily.

==Trivia==
*The '''Warden''', [[Cowboy]] and [[Saboteur]] are the only towers that requires both a badge and coins to unlock.
*The '''Warden's''' Level 4 upgrade name, ''Class Foxtrot Defense Level'', is a reference to the [[Trailers#Halloween 2022 Trailer (Fourteen)|Halloween 2022 Trailer]], where the '''Warden''' opens a door with its equipment inside. This door has a note which says that it should only be opened in class foxtrot defense level.
**The term "foxtrot" may also derive from the titular final boss, [[Wox the Fox]]. 
*The '''Warden's''' Level 1 upgrade name, ''Night Shift'', is most likely a reference to ''[[w:c:freddy-fazbears-pizza:Five Nights at Freddy's_(Franchise)|Five Nights at Freddy's]]''.
**The tower as a whole seems to be very loosely based on the [[w:c:freddy-fazbears-pizza:Jeremy Fitzgerald|Night Guard]] from ''[[w:c:freddy-fazbears-pizza:Five Nights at Freddy's|Five Nights at Freddy's 2]]'', although he does not wield a baton.
*Oddly, the second version of '''Warden's''' inventory description was the same as the [[Gladiator]]'s.
*The '''Warden's''' ''Warden Job Interviews'' is a parody of a ''Five Nights at Freddy's Movie'' meme.
**A video of the TikTok can be found [https://www.tiktok.com/@heyitsarm/video/7297005554143104298 here].
*The Level 2 upgrade cost is a reference to the [[w:c:freddy-fazbears-pizza:The Bite of '87|The Bite of '87]] from ''Five Nights at Freddy's'', which in the franchise happened in 1987.
*The '''Warden''' was originally made to act as a permanent stand-in for the [[Sledger]] as part of a bigger plan to make new permanent towers based on existing event towers.<ref>[[File:PermanentTowerProof2.png|280px]]<br/>https://discord.com/channels/587355301083349002/600908514847883294/1203445488955953282 (Tower Defense Simulator Server)<br/>[[File:PermanentTowerProof.png|280px]]<br/>https://discord.com/channels/587355301083349002/600908514847883294/1385862447348453539 (Tower Defense Simulator Server)</ref>
**The '''Warden''' was the only tower ever finished from this plan, with the rest of the towers having little progress done on them.
***The only other known tower was a sawblade launcher tower that would've had a similar function to the [[Executioner]].
