Max Stats Level 80
Special Ability
Eternal Tome
The Grand Warden opens the Eternal Tome — making all nearby troops and heroes completely invincible for several seconds. Arguably the most game-changing ability in Clash of Clans, capable of saving an entire army from certain death and securing three-star victories that would otherwise be impossible.
Best Equipment
Launches a giant fireball on ability activation — devastating area damage that wipes out entire base sections. Meta-defining equipment.
Adds a Rage effect to Eternal Tome — troops deal boosted damage while invincible. The current meta pairing with Fireball.
Increases the Warden’s Aura — troops within range gain bonus HP, making the entire army significantly tougher.
Summons Lava Hounds and Balloons on ability activation — turns the Warden into an army spawner mid-battle.

Recommended Pets
Reduces damage taken — pairs with Warden’s support role to keep him and nearby troops alive longer under heavy fire.
Smashes through Walls — helps the Warden stay close to the main army even across wall compartments.
Burrows underground and pops up near defenses — provides distraction so the Warden can reach optimal aura position.
Pro Tips & Strategy
Don’t activate prematurely. Wait until your army is under maximum fire — ideally entering the core — then trigger for a guaranteed window of total destruction.
The Fireball triggers during Eternal Tome — troops are invincible while the explosion occurs. This combo can single-handedly 3-star most bases.
Switch to Air mode when running Dragon, Lava Loon, or Electro Dragon armies — his aura benefits flying troops equally.
The Warden’s Life Aura only affects nearby troops — always deploy him in the middle of your main force, never alone or ahead of the army.
The Warden uses Elixir, not Dark Elixir — upgrade him simultaneously with your DE heroes without any resource competition.
On defense, the Warden’s aura buff applies to defending troops too — making your base significantly harder to three-star.
