Let us now learn all things about Blue Protocol Blade Warden!
Blue Protocol Blade Warden Class Summary
The Blue Protocol Blade Warden class has a strong defensive playstyle and specializes in close-quarters combat so if you want a close fight, the Blade Warden class is suitable for you. This class proves to be highly durable with abilities like self-healing, damage-reduction skills, and shield defense.
In addition, Blue Protocol Blade Warden can use crowd control techniques like stuns and restraints to stop opponents and can use provocation skills to provoke enemies into attacking while protecting fellow soldiers from damage. Because of the shield’s limited durability—it could become temporarily useless after taking a few hits—care must be taken. Its lack of firepower, however, makes it difficult for it to make a major damage contribution.
Since this class is not very tanky, it can be challenging to fight numerous foes at once. For this reason, it is important to give priority to strong opponents, particularly those with high attack power. This Blue Protocol Blade Warden Guide will teach you various builds to concentrate on later on!
- Shield Gauge
- As the shield absorbs enemy strikes, the Shield Gauge decreases, reflecting the shield’s durability. The shield will break when it hits zero, making shield-based abilities useless for a certain period. But when the shield isn’t being used, the Shield Gauge gradually refills over time.
- When successfully landing an evasion attack right after dodging an enemy attack, the shield gauge recovers a specific amount.

Gameplay
This Blue Protocol Blade Warden Guide can help you to have a clear knowledge of how to utilize this class to its maximum potential properly! There are different gameplay that you can use depending on the situation, so it is better to jot down notes.
- Changing of skills when playing solo or party
- It’s necessary to have your own weaponry and modify your abilities depending on what’s happening when playing as a Blue Protocol Blade Warden alone. For greater firepower, this can involve adding more offensive skills. Playing in a party group requires you to have supportive abilities in order to provide them with the necessary help.
- Fight while disrupting your enemies
- Blue Protocol Blade Warden possesses abilities that can disrupt enemy actions, including stuns and restraints, making it advisable to engage in combat while restricting the enemy’s movements. Initiating attacks with stuns and binding skills is highly recommended in group battles and when fighting alone, as this can establish a starting point for executing powerful combos.
- Hit the right timing
- Blue Protocol Blade Warden primarily relies on shield defenses to counter incoming attacks. When you counter well, you can do damage more safely and unleash a strong strike. But you can’t utilize the shield gauge for a specific amount of time if it totally empties, therefore it’s best to battle always conscious of how much gauge is left.
- Take the damage to protect your allies
- The Blue Protocol Blade Warden possesses a variety of abilities that increase their targetability and deflect enemy attention from their allies. Spellcasters and Twin Strikers in particular are easily targeted and can swiftly suffer a lot of damage. To maximize their effectiveness and complement the firepower buffs of other players, Blue Protocol Blade Warden must use their enemy targeting abilities. They may defend their team and utilize their offensive capabilities in this manner.
- You can take the enemy’s aggro by using your talents, such as Blow Beat and Taunt. This Blue Protocol Blade Warden Guide will help you to comprehend the significance of those two abilities.
