Warmaiden is a Rare Force affinity champion from the Barbarians faction. She plays the role of an Attack-type damage dealer and is especially well known for her ability to weaken enemies with defense debuffs.
While she may not look impressive at first glance, her skill set makes her a very useful champion during the early to mid stages of the game.
Warmaiden performs well in several PvE areas, especially in Arena, Dungeons like Dragon and Fire Knight, and in Faction Wars. Her value in early Arena teams is high because of her ability to place a strong Decrease DEF debuff on all enemies.
She can also help in Doom Tower and Cursed City, though her effectiveness there drops in the late game. She is not a strong pick for Clan Boss or Hydra since she lacks survivability and consistent damage over time effects.
Table of Contents
The main reason players use Warmaiden is her A3 skill, Crumbling Blast. It attacks all enemies and has a high chance of placing a 60% Decrease DEF debuff for two turns. This is one of the most important debuffs in the game because it helps your entire team deal more damage.
Her A2 also provides a self-boost with Increase ATK and can deal extra damage if it crits. Her A1 can apply a small Poison debuff, but this is not very reliable or strong compared to her other skills.
Compared to other champions who apply Decrease DEF, like Stag Knight or Madame Serris, Warmaiden is easier to obtain and build, but she is not as strong or versatile. She shines best in teams that need a solid debuffer early in the game.
Warmaiden pairs well with champions who can boost turn meter, apply crowd control, or deal strong AoE damage. Champions like High Khatun, Kael, or Athel can work well with her to form balanced and fast-clearing teams.

Warmaiden Best Gear
For gear, Warmaiden benefits most from Perception, Accuracy, and Speed artifact sets. Perception is a good all-round option because it boosts both Accuracy and Speed, helping her land debuffs and take her turns faster.
Accuracy sets are also helpful to make sure her Decrease DEF debuff doesn’t get resisted by enemies with high resistance.
Speed sets give her a 12% Speed boost, which is key in both Arena and Dungeon runs. The faster she is, the sooner she can land her debuff before your damage dealers attack.
When building her gear, aim for high Accuracy, Speed, and enough Crit Rate to trigger the extra hit on her A2.
Getting the right stats on her gear is more important than having high rarity artifacts. Focus on pieces with sub-stats that add Accuracy and Speed first. Once she consistently lands her debuff before enemies move, your team’s damage will improve.

Warmaiden Masteries
For PvE content, the best mastery setup for Warmaiden uses Offense and Support trees. In Offense, choose Deadly Precision and Keen Strike to boost her damage. Then take skills like Life Drinker and Warmaster to improve her survivability and boss damage.
In the Support tree, use Pinpoint Accuracy, Charged Focus, and Master Hexer to increase her debuff chance and duration. Lore of Steel also helps by increasing stats from artifact sets, especially Perception and Speed.
For PvP, a Defense and Support tree setup works better. Defense masteries like Tough Skin, Delay Death, and Cycle of Revenge help her survive longer. In Support, take Pinpoint Accuracy, Evil Eye to reduce enemy turn meter, and Eagle-Eye to increase her base Accuracy.

Warmaiden Blessings
Phantom Touch is the best blessing for Warmaiden. It gives her a chance to deal bonus damage when she hits an enemy. This works well with her AoE skill and adds some extra damage output without needing special setups.
The bonus damage applies to one enemy only and has a short cooldown, but it adds up during waves and boss fights. Since Warmaiden hits all enemies with her A3, there’s a good chance the bonus damage will help finish off weak targets.
Phantom Touch is especially helpful when you use her in fast-clearing teams in Arena or Campaign farming, where every bit of damage helps clear waves quicker.
How to Get Warmaiden
Warmaiden is one of the few Rare champions that you can farm from the Campaign. She is available in Stage 9: The Deadlands. You will need to farm Stage 9 repeatedly until she drops.
Since she’s farmable, players can get her without using shards. However, she can also be pulled from Mystery Shards, Ancient Shards, and Primal Shards. This gives players a few different ways to obtain her and makes it easier to get duplicates for leveling up her skills.
Keep in mind that the drop rate is not guaranteed, so it may take many runs to get her from the Campaign. But since she is so useful, especially for early Arena and Dungeon content, the effort is usually worth it.
Once you get her, make sure to invest in her skills, especially the A3, Crumbling Blast. Using books or duplicate Warmaidens to upgrade this skill will make her much more effective at helping your team succeed.
