For what I believe to have been the first time for me, I have defeated the triple Warden round 5 spawn on Urban. Using what data I gathered from that encounter, I’ve come up with a stratagem to beating this round in time.
1. Beat the first wave quickly. For the encounter on Urban, 4 heavily armed soldiers will spot on top of the center structure. They are surrounded by dozens of lesser Prometheans. Best way to take them is to use tanks, wraiths, and snipers.
2. Know where the fodder spawns. I’ve seen countless people rush headfirst at the triple Warden spawn, only to be obliterated with Prometheans spawning right on them. Hang back until everything spawns, then clear a path to the main bosses.
3. Go where you are needed. Do not try to cram half-a-dozen tanks into the base just to attack one Warden. If you see 3 or more people/vehicles attacking a yellow Warden, then just make your way over to the one that’s being ignored. If done right, Both yellow Wardens will be taken down at nearly the same time.
4. Bait out Big Red. The Super Warden that spawns in the back of the base is nearly impossible to hit with vehicles in his spawning position. That said, he’ll happily leave his post to chase down a lone Spartan. If you’re on foot, then get his attention and steer him over to one of the side flanks. This will give vehicles a good angle to lay into him.
5. Power weapons work too. Having 8 tanks firing on Warden isn’t very practical. Only about 4 to 5 will actually have a clear shot. Fortunately, Warden has a beaming weak spot on his back that is highly susceptible to weapons fire. From what I’ve noticed, Promethean weapons do the most damage to Warden. So grab a suppressor or binary rifle and light him up when his back is turned.
If you do all these things, odds are you’ll come out victorious with ~30 seconds to spare.
Side Note: Who’s idea was this? How are a bunch of randoms suppose to pull this off 50% of the time?! I’ve done this play dozens of times and only beat it once!
