Is there anything a warden can do against gladiator? His dodge unblockable makes wardens sb useless, and that's the only thing warden really has. Glad is hard to react to , and warden is easy, so unless a warden is light years beyond the glad player in skill, it seems like the match is decided in hero select.

Go for baits and try to capitlize on it. Also, your attacks can catch a gladiator mid dodging (top light for example). Utilize your zone from time to time and punish them to the max with your shoulder bash mixup if you manage to corner them. You could also dodge shoulderbash their side dash attacks/ side dash unblockable and go for a decent punish there.Originally Posted by Arenaeus-88 Go to original post
The real task at hand for you is not to get caught into their rythm. Once you get into their mixup game it is hard to get out and the glad deals very good damage in quite a short amount of time. The best way to prevent that in my opinion is to go aggressive yourself, but basically at the right time, when you managed to get them into doing sth that you have foreseen.
From time to time you might wanna try to use throw some heavies from distance and let them rip to see if you either catch them mid dodge or whilst screwing up their block timings (out of distance because they tend to throw their quicker attacks at you to interrupt all you attack attempts if you were up close like pks)
But indeed against a decent player Warden and a lot of other slower characters struggle against the gladiator with his speed (+damage), mobility and arsenal of unblockables. So on paper you will always be at a disadvantage atm
