Magicka Warden Solo

Welcome to my Magicka Warden Solo PVE Build for The Elder Scrolls Online. The Build is designed for players that prefer to play Solo, challenging themselves in any type of PVE content. You can use it to defeat Overworld Bosses, farm Public Dungeons, complete 4-man Dungeons in Normal or Veteran Difficulty and Solo Arenas like Maelstrom Arena and Vateshran Hollows.

The Warden is a Class with good Frost damage and powerful abilities. We can combine those to create a strong Solo Build and complete almost every PVE content alone!

If you are a new player, you can take a look at my Warden Beginner Guide. For an all around Magicka Warden PVE Build take a look at Ice Queen.

You can find more Builds in the Warden Builds page.
