Warwick
View on Wiki
Warwick is a highly capable champion with massive scaling potential, however, he lacks a good way of permanently removing many threats that presented in the nightmares-level adventures.
This page was revised thanks to /u/HPDARKEAGLE.
Provides Overwhelm and Impact and provides damage pings that help trigger his passive scaling. In addition, him being damaged allows him to heal to trigger the rally from Celestial Staff.
Creates a rally effect that can be triggered multiple times in single turn to end the game quickly. Although it only works once per turn normally, once Warwick levels up, he can use it again.
Discounts Warwick's cost, allowing for greater mana efficiency. Each instance of damage to his own units counts towards his constellation bonuses and level up condition.
Strategy
This build focuses on maximizing the number of damage pings from Warwick to level him up and boost stats from his constellation as quickly as possible. Celestial Staff synergizes with his 6 star power to create a free rally effect everytime he kills a unit. Then, properly timing his blood hunt to damage him while he levels up up lets you use the rally from celestial staff once more, likely ending the game.
Allows Warwick to strike the weakest enemy immediately upon summon, clearing threats and rapidly progressing his scaling.
Provides a second immediate strike, ensuring high burst damage and board control the moment he is played.
Provides a crucial revive, ensuring he maintains board presence and continues to apply pressure even against removal-heavy encounters.
Strategy
This build is designed for aggressive board control and survivability in difficult Monthly Challenges. Dual Stalker's Blades allow Warwick to immediately impact the board upon summon, clearing enemy units while simultaneously buffing his own stats through his inherent combat scaling.
Guardian Angel acts as a safety net against powerful enemy removal or overwhelming strikes, allowing Warwick to revive and continue his aggressive game plan without losing momentum.
Provides a powerful board clear upon play, which synergizes perfectly with Succubus's Brand to instantly generate multiple Husks.
Generates additional Husks upon securing kills, providing a continuous stream of stats and keywords for the board.
Grants Overwhelm and Impact to your board, allowing you to bypass chump blockers and deliver massive Nexus damage.
Strategy
This build is exceptionally strong for the 10-star Zoe adventure. Wicked Harvest clears the board of small enemy units (like Poros), which immediately triggers Succubus's Brand to flood your board with Husks that benefits from your star power, allowing the next unit you play to accumulate a massive attack stat.
Beside scaling your powers,Cruel Experiments ensures that your massive units have the Overwhelm to push damage through any remaining blockers, resulting in a highly consistent and overwhelming victory.

Since Warwick wants many keywords and units on both sides consistently dies when playing him, this is a very good way to concentrate their keywords onto a tall Warwick.
Allows generated Husks to attack, turning them into active threats that scale rapidly with Warwick's inherent buffs.
Spells are generally very good for Warwick, making them better through Searing Brilliance is a good way to increase their potency.
Warwick's constellation path provides massive scaling potential, but his base deck is notably weak, making these upgrades highly recommended for higher-difficulty adventures. The Star of Bounty node is particularly useful for many ping-heavy adventures, granting him a massive +8 Regeneration to sustain himself.

The Star of Discovery causes acquired adventure spells to deal 3 damage to the enemy Nexus. Note that this only applies to drafted spells. Star of Blessings and Wonder both provide very critical items on Warwick's starting spell (-1 cost to Blood Hunt and double cast to Caustic Riff)
Wounded Prey
When an enemy with 2+ Health is summoned, deal 1 to it.Review
The 'Wounded Prey' power deals 1 damage to enemy units with 2 or more health when they are summoned. This effect checks health sequentially, meaning multiple instances will not stack to instantly kill a 2-health unit, as the first ping reduces them to 1 health.

This upgrade significantly accelerates his scaling, increase his survivability, and provides a full heal. This upgrade open him up to many strong builds that were previously not possible.
- Embrace the Spellslinger Role
Despite his appearance as a melee brawler, Warwick excels when played as a spellcaster. Prioritize drafting spells that deal damage to multiple targets and discount or control powers to accelerate his scaling and control the board. Once the enemy is exhausted of units, any of your disposable units can be an immediately threat due to his scaling being tied to a Nexus aura.
- Leverage the Perfection Power
The 'Perfection' adventure power sets all skill and spell damage to a minimum of 4. This creates a devastating synergy with Warwick's inherent low-damage pings, allowing him to effortlessly clear even the most challenging enemy boards.
- Optimize the Base Deck
Warwick's starting deck contains several suboptimal cards. Prioritize cutting expensive or counter-synergistic cards like 'Get Jinxed!' and 'Chempunk Shredder' at the Healer nodes to improve consistency.
- Strategic Self-Harm
Warwick's champion spell, Blood Hunt, can also target your own units. This provides a controlled method to intentionally lower your damage your units to increase your scaling when the enemy lacks a board present or when you require a self-healing trigger like Celestial Staff.
