Minecraft wiki entry for Warden, associated text: The warden's melee attack disables shields for 5 seconds, and deals an exceptional amount of damage, enough to instantly kill a player wearing unenchanted full netherite armor on Hard difficulty. If the target is still on its search radius and on high ground or hiding behind walls, a warden can charge up a powerful sonic boom. This guided attack can pass through blocks, and is visible with the formation of green-blue particles that are quickly projected out of the warden's chest. It deals the same amount of damage as its melee attack and also disables shields for 5 seconds on impact.
