|ability1 = '''{{WikiAb|Heartfelt Laser}}''' - The '''TemplarWarden''' fires out a laser from its exposed heart for 3.5 seconds, stunning towers for 2 seconds and dealing 8 damage to units every tick. Has an attack range of 20.

The '''Warden''', internally referred to as the '''Templar''', is an enemy that appears in [[Polluted Wasteland II]] and [[Challenge Trials]]. It also spawns once in [[Fallen Mode|Fallen]] mode during the [[Hidden Wave]]. It has very high health with high defense and average speed. It has an ability where it fires a glowing purple laser from its chest to stun every tower and damage every unit that comes in contact with it, making it very dangerous and a number-one priority.

The '''TemplarWarden''' is a large humanoid entity with a waist in its rig. It has a dark blue skin color and the ends of its limbs are covered in a cyan fluid. It has an energy pack on its back with an antenna that emits yellow sparks along with batteries connected to it. This energy pack has grey straps. The '''TemplarWarden''' also has metal plating on its body. Its chest has a gaping cavity, revealing its rib cage and a pink cube inside, which emits light blue particles. It has red wounds that span horizontally across the chest cavity.

*Like all other tanky enemies, high*High DPS towers like the [[Accelerator]] or [[Minigunner]] should be used to take the '''TemplarWarden''' down.

**The [[Engineer]] is recommended, as its sentries will continue firing even when the [[Engineer]] is stunned by the '''TemplarWarden's''' ''Heartfelt Laser'' ability.

**The [[Ranger]] and [[Pursuit]] cannot be stunned by the '''TemplarWarden's''' ''Heartfelt Laser'' ability.

**The [[Military Base]]'s [[units]] deal full collision damage to the '''TemplarWarden''', regardless of its defense, making them quite useful.

*It is recommended to place your towers away from the path to avoid getting stunned by the '''TemplarWarden's''' ''Heartfelt Laser'' ability.

*It may be viable to have a cheap distraction tower to distract the '''TemplarWarden's''' ''Heartfelt Laser'' from your main offensive towers.

*When the '''TemplarWarden''' spawns, it will not use its ''Heartfelt Laser'' ability for a few seconds. Use this period of time to defeat the '''TemplarWarden''' before it can stun any towers.

*The [[Medic]] can be used to healshield towers that, werepreventing them from being stunned by the '''TemplarWarden's''' ''Heartfelt Laser'' ability..

**Do note that this will be ineffective while the '''TemplarWarden''' is still using ''Heartfelt Laser'', as the towers will be continuously stunned until the ability is over.

*The [[Gladiator]]'s stun blocking is ineffective against the '''TemplarWarden''', since even after it successfully blocks ''Heartfelt Laser's'' initial stun, it will be stunned again because of how long the ability lasts.

*Slowing towers like the [[CryomancerSaboteur]], [[Electroshocker]], [[Warden]] or [[Freezer]] can be used to slow down the '''TemplarWarden'''.

**Do note that the '''TemplarWarden''' will not stop using its ability when frozen or stunned.

*Defense dropping towers like the [[Pyromancer]], [[Jester]] or [[Freezer]] can help to reduce the '''TemplarWarden's''' defense.
