First 5 star awakening gem. Starky or sentinel?

Keenmonkey_5

Should I use my tech awakening gem from the Intel event on rank 4 starky or soon to be rank 3 sentinel?

Starky

That all depends. I know most people will say Sparky, but Sentinel is highly useful too. Are you looking for Attack or Defense?

Keenmonkey_5

I have 18 5 stars atm. So I guess overall usefulness would be better. I know starky is no good for defense but use him in AW attack every war. Such a difficult decision.

Sentinel

Sentinel benefits tremendously however, if you have no plans to rank 4 or rank 5 him, don’t bother using the gem on sentinel

Starky

Stark spidey starts getting crits pretty much every hit if he’s awakened at 10 poise. The taunt extension is also nice. However, sentinel is a lot more annoying to play without the sig ability, so you could argue it needs it more, plus you don’t really need any sig stones for sentinel

Sentinel is underrated but I'd use it on Sparky

Sentinel

sparky is awesome, but i think sentinel might benefit more.

Stark Spidey all day. Every day.

Starky

If you're more proficient with Sparky, I'd say him. You say you use him a great deal, so that would likely be your go-to. However, I'd also encourage you to consider Ranking Sentinel in the future. He's very useful as well. Sentinel can still be used Unawakened. It just takes a bit longer to build Analysis.

Starky does so much damage but Sentinels awakening ability helps him alot

Thanks for everybody's input and votes. I went with spidey!

Sentinel

I'm one of those people who personally finds sparky's playstyle really stressful. And I'm horrible at building poise properly. So I'd probably find Sentinel to be more useful for me. I can understand how much damage Sparky can do though, so yeah.
(please Kabam give me a 4* sentinel I want a good tech champ to use my gem on...)
