Sentinel earns a 2.5/5.0 rating because he is the definition of 'average' with a steep fall-off in late-game utility. His core strength lies in his self-sustain; a passive 10% heal that can crit is rare for a unit of his rarity, giving him decent staying power in Faction Wars and early Arena. However, he is held back by the 'small' versions of his debuffs (25% Decrease ATK instead of 50%) and a reliance on critical hits to trigger his Provoke, which complicates his gearing. Compared to other Rare tanks like Gnarlhorn, who offers a 100% AOE Provoke, Sentinel feels underwhelming and inconsistent
