History of Warden's Favor

Overview

Warden's Favor is the positive stack state in Warden's Judgment for Contest of Elders. Completing bonus objectives earns Warden's Favor, up to three stacks in the Episode: Revenant version. It raises difficulty by increasing tougher combatant pressure and activating arena traps, while improving rewards. Holding Warden's Favor after a loop can skip the initial cryopod encounter and open the treasure chamber at the activity's end.

These details describe the 2024 launch-era activity and may not reflect later tuning or availability.
