So I recently pulled him as a 5*. R3ed him because he is supposed to be good for variants.
He doesn’t seem to hit well tho. Does he need to awakened? High sig?
Can someone give me the coles notes on his play style plz?

If awakened, he gains 20 analysis charges each the time the opponent throws the same special attack back to back. It’s increased to 40 against mutants and 10 against cosmics.
I’d recommend going for the sp2 and incinerates if you don’t need the heal block/armor break from the sp1. He ideally needs just one dupe somehow, be it gem or natural dupe.
(I'm surprised no one has invited him yet, lol)
in my head i misread as "picking up on"
If you have g2099 pretty sure you won't be using much of sentinel.
He's very easy to play. Hit block till 100 analysis charges. Personally I don't think he really changes much from the awakened ability bc if you're used to playing him you'll hit block till you reach 100 anyway. It does help a lot against cosmics though.
He's very tanky. He can take a fair amount of hits. His sp3 applies a passive armour effect, passive so he's bad for Havoks. But it can be removed by an armour break, watch out for crumbling armour/silver surfer etc if you're trying to get regen. Another sp3 and he'll eat this armour for regen that scales with lost health.
His sp1 inflicts heal block and armour break. As a tech champ, they'll work on Colossus. Sp2 does big incinerate damage. At 100 analysis they apply through block. I use this against Emma Frost, sp1 into block, armour break = bye immunity.
He can inflict shock with unstoppable heavy. Don't use against Nebula, 5 charges = 100% ability accuracy straight off. Actually Sentinel isn't a great matchup for her in general, you hit her block, she builds charges, you lose ability accuracy.
You can't spam this unstoppable heavy though, he's not unstoppable while the opponent is shocked.
After firing an sp2, I'm nearly back on an sp1. Every analysis charges reduces the amount of power used for specials by 0.25%.
I don't use any specials until I'm at full analysis charges. Without the charges they're very short.
He's a robot sooo granted bleed and poison immunity.
He's a big tin can with immunity, access to various debuffs, great damage, tanky, reduced power cost on specials and regeneration. He's also an XL champ = V2.
Here's my newly maxed big purple tin can.
@Riptide i highly recommend Sentinel as a r5 champ. He’s incredibly useful and not only in V3 (though he will steamroll that content). I use my 6* r3 in 99% of AW attacks and he is fantastic.
