Arboreal wardens are the rangers of arboreal society. These itinerant folk have an innate curiosity about the woodlands in which they dwell, and rarely stop to take root and rest in the same part of the forest twice. This wanderlust makes wardens ideal forest patrollers and scouts. While they are robust combatants, they know better than to confront dangerous foes on their own. Instead, they report any dangers to arboreal regents. In rare cases, large groups of arboreal wardens congregate to form

WORKS WELL WITH
SniperLANDA ranged attacker bypasses its bludgeoning and piercing resistances while it anchors the melee line.
SnareLANDA controller's positioning effects compound the forced repositioning from its shield push.
CrasherLANDA slashing-focused attacker exploits its axe vulnerability while it keeps enemy attention on itself.
PUNISHES
