Warden (unreleased)

Unreleased

The Warden is a series of unreleased skill icons found in Risk of Rain 2's files, which depict a possible scrapped melee Survivor wielding a weapon/s resembling an electrical plug. In the code, these icons are paired with warden or "ward" for short. The Survivor can be seen in great detail in the 5th icon, giving us a good look at their design and weapons. The red weapon cannot be seen in the 4th icon, however.

It is possible that these icons were made for a scrapped Survivor before the was decided on, as this data only existed in the game's files after the release of Survivors of the Void.

The first skill could be a basic slash, but since it is a a different color than the other skills it could have had some special effect.

The second skill seems to be a ranged attack using a similar weapon.

The third skill seems to be a utility move. It appears that it might have buffed the player or had some other beneficial effect.

The fourth skill depicts the character dashing upwards, which may have been a movement-related and/or damaging skill.

The fifth skill depicts the character enveloped in a ball of electricity.

The sixth skill shows a red beam hitting a box that looks similar to the Railgunner's backpack. The coloration is reminiscent of the icon for.
