Highguard launches with eight playable wardens: Atticus, Condor, Kai, Mara, Redmane, Scarlet, Slade, and Una. You choose from these characters, each designed with a distinct role and a set of abilities that shape how you approach combat.
As you explore the roster, you see how each warden supports different playstyles and team strategies. Understanding their skills helps you make better decisions when forming a squad and adapting to fast-paced matches.
All Highguard wardens
You can choose from eight launch wardens, each built around a tactical skill, a passive trait, and an ultimate ability. The roster includes Atticus, Condor, Kai, Mara, Redmane, Scarlet, Slade, and Una, with short lore notes that hint at motives and combat roles. You match them to your preferred playstyle and team needs.
Highguard Atticus
You channel lightning through a legacy shaped by warfare and ritual. Born into an old lineage, you trained early and earned recognition as a battlefield leader. Your father’s final act left you with a strange key and a directive to seek a concealed site linked to a long-sealed threat.
Atticus Combat Kit
You apply steady pressure with electricity-based tools that reward sustained damage and vertical control.
| Ability Type | Name | What You Do |
|---|---|---|
| Tactical | Shockspear | You hurl an energized spear that stuns nearby foes and builds charge through ongoing hits. |
| Passive | Charged Axe | You trigger a short-range electrical blast that harms nearby resource points. |
| Ultimate | Supercell | You lift off and launch multiple lightning spears that hit players and structures hard. |
Highguard Condor
You play Condor as a driven explorer who relies on heightened perception and a bonded avian companion. You hunt targets through awareness rather than raw force. Your reputation as a treasure seeker pushes you to probe Highguard’s hidden zones and contested routes.
Condor Ability Kit
| Ability Type | Name | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Tactical | Aerial Watch | You deploy your bird to scan areas and mark moving enemies. |
| Passive | Predator Sense | Your companion alerts you when hostile players draw close. |
| Ultimate | Guardian Descent | You release three smoke paths that expose enemies caught within them. |
Kai in Highguard
You play Kai as a disciplined defender shaped by harsh, frozen terrain. You channel ice through careful control, balancing calm focus with the presence of Rime, the frost entity bound to your soul. You prioritize protection over aggression, using terrain control to shield allies and secure objectives. Your path centers on understanding why your spirit and Rime’s essence merged, and how that bond strengthens your resolve in battle.
Kai’s Defensive Skill Set
| Ability Type | Name | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Tactical | Ice Wall | You raise a solid barrier to block damage and sightlines. |
| Passive | Frozen Repair | You rebuild damaged base walls over time. |
| Ultimate | Frost Giant | You assume Rime’s form to gain immense size and power. |
Highguard Mara
You play Mara as a shadow-focused conjurer who turns fallen souls into protection for your squad. You channel magic tied to life and death, using it to sustain allies rather than chase kills. You chose service with the Iron Vigil by choice, while your motives and the source of your power remain unclear.
Mara’s Ability Kit
| Type | Ability | What You Do |
|---|---|---|
| Tactical | Soul Armor | You grant nearby allies a temporary shield that soaks incoming damage. |
| Passive | Sacrifice | You consume downed enemies to refill your tactical charge faster. |
| Ultimate | Immortal Coil | You place a team respawn anchor at a chosen location. |
You focus on timing, positioning, and team survival.
Highguard Redmane
You control Redmane as a ruthless frontline enforcer who channels animal traits to overwhelm opponents. His power comes from raw physical force and instinct-driven combat. You feel his motivation through aggressive play that favors breaking defenses and forcing close-range fights. His presence suits players who push objectives and disrupt enemy positioning.

| Passive | Predatory Rush | You gain faster movement and reload speed after securing eliminations. |
| Ultimate | Beast Roar | You unleash a roar that shatters obstacles ahead and harms nearby enemies. |
You apply constant pressure by chaining mobility with environmental destruction.
Highguard Scarlet
You operate as a precision-focused assassin who relies on mobility and deception. You once ruled a desert realm, but you abandoned royal duty to serve the Iron Vigil. Your missions center on protecting vulnerable targets while tracking the mentor you lost. You favor flanks, quick entries, and sudden exits, using environmental control to stay unpredictable.
Scarlet’s Combat Kit
| Ability Type | Name (Reworded) | What You Do |
|---|---|---|
| Tactical | Sand Veil | You slip into concealment, staying unseen by enemies at longer distances. |
| Passive | Eroding Passage | You turn a breakable wall into sand, letting you move through it for a short time. |
| Ultimate | Cyclone Daggers | You hurl up to six blades, and each elimination refreshes your ability timers. |
You thrive when you disrupt defenses and strike isolated opponents.
Slade in Highguard
You wield fire as a practical tool, not a symbol. You learned to survive on the streets, using any method that kept you alive. That mindset carried you into work with crime lords and pirate captains, where your control over magma and firestorms proved useful.
You join Highguard as a Warden for pay, not prestige. In combat, you pressure enemies from below with molten force and from above with falling fire. You stand apart from the launch roster because you operate with two passive traits, giving you added momentum during extended fights.
Slade’s Combat Abilities
| Ability Type | Name | What You Do |
|---|---|---|
| Tactical | Heatwave | You release a forward surge of molten fire. |
| Passive | Firebomb | You trigger an explosion that spreads magma across an area. |
| Passive | Hot Streak | You gain faster cooldowns and stronger output while securing kills. |
| Ultimate | Firestorm | You call down sustained fire on a targeted zone. |
Highguard Una
You play Una as a spirit binder tied to the Wildwood and its unseen forces. You channel themes of life, death, and memory through a close bond with lingering spirits. Exile forced you to leave your fading forest, yet you continue searching for a way to preserve what remains. That history shapes a supportive, disruptive role built around summoning allies from the spirit realm.
Una’s combat kit and spirit powers
| Ability Type | Name | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Tactical | Forest Wisps | You call playful spirits that hurl concussive charges at nearby enemies. |
| Passive | Helping Hand | Friendly spirits periodically appear and deliver useful loot to you. |
| Ultimate | Tree Walker | You summon a massive forest entity that launches smaller explosive spirits at foes. |
You control space through pressure rather than direct fire.
