Village Grand Warden upgrade cost, time and max level
The Grand Warden is the only home-village hero paid with Elixir instead of Dark Elixir, which makes him the easiest hero to keep upgrading. His ability (Eternal Tome) protects your whole army at the key moment.
This guide lists the Grand Warden max level at every Town Hall, the total Elixir and time needed to get there, and the cost of each new level at Town Hall 18. All figures come from the game's data files.
