Sandbox Warden is a gate-control skirmish: break sightlines at the choke, then rotate rupture pressure during the cooldown window.
Rupture still applies, but spacing matters more than raw DPS—overcommitting at the gate gets you boxed in.

One heavy punish per opening; the warden chains a fast swipe if you sprint in early.
Lean kit: one gap-closer, one AoE clear, and stamina-positive light attacks so you can kite back to the gate.
Check slow clears first; speedrun routes skip the gate reset and are easy to misread.
