Epic Relics
Paid Relics
Warwick is a highly capable champion with massive scaling potential, though his base deck is widely considered weak and requires significant constellation investment to reach his full potential.
C6 Rally Engine
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. 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.
Monthly Challenger
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.
Zoe Cheese
Zoe Specialized
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.
Cruel Experiments ensures that your scaled units have the Overwhelm and Impact necessary to push damage through any remaining blockers, resulting in a highly consistent and overwhelming victory.
Aggressive Overwhelm
Provides the necessary Overwhelm keyword to the entire board, allowing Warwick to convert his massive attack scaling into direct Nexus damage.
Discounts Warwick's cost when Plunder is triggered, enabling a much faster deployment.
Triggers Plunder immediately at the start of the game, ensuring Packed Powder is always active for an early summon.
Strategy
Designed to close out games quickly, this setup compensates for Warwick's lack of innate Overwhelm. By deploying Warwick early and granting Overwhelm to his scaled units, this build bypasses enemy blockers to deliver lethal Nexus damage.
Other Relic Options
- Creates a powerful loop at 6-stars, leveraging his built-in healing to trigger multiple rallies and end games in a single turn.
Highly effective for duplicating key followers like Chempunk Shredder, maintaining a persistent board presence that scales with his powers.
Synergizes with his frequent damage instances to plant numerous puffcaps, though battles often end before the traps become lethal.
Allows generated Husks to attack, turning them into active threats that scale rapidly with Warwick's inherent buffs.
Constellation
Warwick's constellation path provides massive scaling potential, but his base deck is notably weak, making these upgrades mandatory for higher-difficulty adventures. The Shadow Isles regeneration node is particularly valuable, granting him up to 20 Regeneration to sustain his aggressive playstyle.
Eternal Hunger
Allies Have +1|+0 for every 7 times you've dealt damage this game.
Primal Howl
+1 Starting Mana. Round Start: Create a Blood Hunt, or if you already have one, reduce its cost by 1.
Eternal Hunger II
Allies Have +1|+0 for every 5 times you've dealt damage this game.Review
The 'Star of Discovery' power causes acquired adventure spells to deal 3 damage to the enemy Nexus. Note that this only applies to drafted spells, not his inherent Blood Hunt.
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.
Manaflow
Game Start: Get a mana gem.
Eternal Hunger III
Allies Have +1|+0 for every 3 times you've dealt damage this game. When an ally kills a unit, heal it fully and grant it +0|+3 and ImpactReview
This upgrade significantly accelerates his scaling, reduces his cost, and provides a full heal. While mechanically exceptionally strong and capable of clearing the hardest content, it is considered a straightforward stat enhancement rather than a complex mechanical shift.
Gameplay Tips
- Embrace the Spellslinger Role
Despite his appearance as a melee brawler, Warwick excels when played as a spellcaster. Prioritize drafting spells and powers that deal direct damage to accelerate his scaling and control the board before committing to a final attack.
- 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 uniquely target your own Nexus. This provides a controlled method to intentionally lower your health, which is highly useful for completing specific quests that require winning a game at 3 Health or less.
