Sentry also feels very safe now with the bulwarks increasing his block by a lot.

I only have a 5 star max sig ascended Sentry (yes I know that's a cardinal sin for me but I've been chasing him forever 😭😭😭) and from my limited testing in rol, I really like him.

First fight with class disadvantage and not knowing what to do was a bit rough but once ramped, I'm doing fights in a minute which is pretty good and throwing like 60k+ heavies if they crit. His regen is pretty nice and his indestructible remains a nice safety net. It's pretty easy to cycle through forms and once ramped, you can choose to permanently stay in his brilliant might form by not throwing sp1 and sp2 or only throwing sp3 and enjoying that regen.

Decent utility too, you can throw a sp1 and basically counter unstoppable the entire fight. Can tackle regen too now with the number of debuffs he inflicts.

"Sentry converts any Critical Damage Rating bonuses into Attack Rating, increasing his Attack by up to +3927"

What does this mean? Advantageous for that node where defender gains a buff if crit damage is more than a percentage of health, Drawback for Crit Me With Your Best Shot?

As well as what you said, it basically makes him good for incursions i think. 7 star stat focus will be good as well

7 stat focus crit damage will add to his attack rating

I fought a Sentinel in EQ and his Analysis charges sky-rocketed so quickly. Could be a strong defender now.

Getting cav is gonna be harder now, good luck to those players

I wanted to see how it was, so I took a peek at the Chronoversary fight.

Let’s just say that ain’t fun

Some initial thoughts:

Yeah DPX seems like a monster. A little light on utility, and honestly I think it’s a bit of a shame that his new design disincentivizes you from doing his actual heavy slap in favor of sp1, but his damage is great and has little counter play. Not much else to say, he’s pretty simple. I imagine I’ll be seeing him in a lot of bg decks soon.

Sentry’s damage is lower than I expected without ramping (in particular he really needs to hit 3 reality warps so he can refresh his debuffs in order to “feel good”) but once he does start ramping that damage really is good. He seems like he can hit 2 warps in his first fight reasonably, so if you’re okay with a slow start on the first fight in a quest he seems like he’s actually pretty competent in general questing, which is nice because I would not describe Aegon as being like that. The fact he loses a warp on defeat seems scary, but honestly the fact you gain them in fight seems like more than enough compensation; you shouldn’t be bleeding warps dry unless you’re just constantly losing fights in under a minute. I’ll have to play with him more but even if he never sees use in bgs or whatever, he looks quite good elsewhere.

Sentinel seems alright. I’m not liking him as much as I really want to yet, but he seems capable. Notably, the armor breaks on sp1 so actually seem like a decent damage source. Here’s a r3 unascended 6*, no boosts or synergies, medium sig level versus ROLverine:

I know some people were expressing concern that Sentinel would be too reliant on incinerates to be a good option against some mutants, but less than 90 seconds to take out 400k health using nothing but sp1 spam is solid (admittedly Wolverine wasn’t throwing specials a lot, it’d be longer if I had to actually bait, but I don’t think that’s a huge factor in the time here). It seems like that is a viable alternate damage strategy in those matchups. I’ll have to play with him more to decide fully how I feel about him, but I’m definitely not calling him a dud yet.
