Warden

Class Overview

Wardens are psionically gifted scouts. However, they have not received traditional training in psionics, and the way they use it differs from what we've seen before. Instead of using a Psi Amp to amplify their mind's power, they make their body act as a conduit for the dormant psionic energy around the battlefield. They affect it in various ways as the energy passes through them.

Weapons

Primary: Rifles, SMGs, Shotguns.

Secondary: Sword
