Choose a coherent path
The reviewed default is chase bruiser. An alternative is last stand sustain caster. These are tactical interpretations of the kit, not official roles or measured win-rate rankings.
Last Stand grants substantial resists and heals from its damage. A pure glass-cannon gun template is not his only coherent path.

Ability targets
The default target for eligible single-target imbues is ability 3, Binding Word. Item eligibility still takes precedence: Echo Shard cannot reset an ultimate, charge items apply automatically, and global upgrades affect all eligible abilities.
Item direction
Use these as candidates for the stated path. The planner chooses compatible upgrades, accounts for owned components and reserves room for the lineup response.
Playing against Warden
Leave the binding zone, kite the ultimate and reduce healing; time hard control around its wind-up.
A partial enemy lineup cannot establish lane assignments, enemy purchases or who is ahead. Supply those details in the planner where supported, and reconsider the plan as the match changes.
