Quick Thoughts on Omega Sentinel

For anyone who wants to see the deep dive, here's the link:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_KuE4MUU-8

Upon first look, she looks like she's mostly a utility champion. The auto-block is very annoying and will make her a very tough defender. Combined with the immunity to Nullify, Stagger, and Fateseal, there's not a super reliable way to deal with her armor up buffs. Plus, you can basically place all 3 debuffs and keep throwing specials and heavying to pause them indefinitely. But the thing that stands out to me about her kit is the regeneration ability. I'll copy and paste it from the deep dive:

"Omega Sentinel's nanotech reduces the potency of incoming Bleed and Poison effects by 100% and grants her immunity to the regen reduction from poison."

That ability right there is amazing. It means that she's going to be getting willpower healing from suicides and other other bleed or poison that gets placed on her. Plus, the poison does nothing to her healing factor. But that's not even the best part.

"When inflicted with a Bleed or Poison effect, Omega Sentinel gains a Self-Repair Buff healing 20% of missing health over 10 seconds. This ability does not stack and ends early if Omega Sentinel is Stunned."

I mean WHAT. You basically regen 20% at the start of the fight in 10 seconds if you have suicides on. Additionally, if you're doing a fight like biohazard, you're essentially going to be regening 2% per second for the whole fight. Throw this onto the ability where she can't get her buffs taken away, there's not a great way to deal with this ability. It could prove to be one of her most useful abilities on offense

I think you're forgetting the most obvious way of countering armour ups - armour break. Knull gonna feast.

Willpower doesn't work if she's labeled a robot. Not sure if she is yet but I assume she will be labeled as such. So there goes alot of the healing you are talking about . Also way they worded inflicted with I am not completly convinced she will get the 20% healing for the bleed/poison from suicides (as she starts the fight with those debuffs) at the begining of the fight.

i imagine she'll also be a nice 2 corvus charges. just hit her a few times, get the auto-block, then parry heavy and you're off

Panchulon21

Magneto should work too. He won’t reverse it but he’ll stop it. But yeah this is pretty legit. She’ll go high in arena

She definitely has all the makings of a new top tier Tech champ.

The Bleed/Poison thing is amazing obviously, and the nullify immunity is super useful, especially on a non-science champ

Anti-miss and heal that is so easily accessible is incredible. The only stickler here might be that she needs all 3 debuffs up for damage, and that might limit her practicality. I really hope not, but we have to see on that

Not to mention the armour ups seem to have slightly nutty potency. I’m assuming it was R4 6* abilities we were looking at and they were 974 each. And you can get 10. Even on a 5/65 that’s going to be at least 600, so up to 6k Armour rating that you just build up naturally. For comparison, a R4 Colossus’ armour ups are 200 each and cap at 20

If she’s practical and has at least a decent damage output level I think we’re looking at a top champ here

Please let her release second this month so she isn’t in the 6* featured crystals with mostly duds

i think she's tagged robot so no healing from willpower...

Will his bleed on sp3 still tick properly?
Aren't they shrapnel bleeds?

the normal bleeds will not, but the end is a burst of physical damage, so it will

i don't think she is. every single robot is immune to bleed and poison, and she is not. omega red and her are very similar, and omega red isn't tagged as a robot and heals from willpower

Sachhyam257

I'm not looking forward to fighting her in this month's eq. Angela is pretty much the only counter I have at a decent level. They'll probably slap on aggression armor on her fight, it's gonna be an absolute fiesta with autoblocks I tell ya...

She could always be the unique one. Every single robot was tech until Dragon man. She may be the one that breaks the mould.

kabam logic: she's a robot, but she has blood. the blood doesn't matter. also, go ahead and poison her. she loves poison

would love her but she's probably going to get "balanced". I made a thread that said please don't balance here because we've been waiting for her for so long since the vote and it would be a bad play to nerf her. my thread was deleted in like 5 minutes with no warning lol. Thanks Kabam
This balance program has three different sides remember. And we don’t know at all how they’ll present themselves.

Champions can be improved, tuned down or left alone. I think it’s a bit pessimistic and premature to focus on only the tuning down. The tuning down may only be reserved for the rarest of rare cases. I think it’s better to wait and see, rather than ask for champs not to be nerfed a couple hours after the deep dive is released

lol I'm pretty negative rn tho. Taking a thread down after less than 10 minutes and no response why is odd. The only thing I said was please leave her be and asking everyone else what their thoughts were.

Very sad.

Why is Karatemike inside the contest?

CosmicGuardian

I’m curious to see how much impact pairing her with Nimrod will have on her rotation since it seems to revolve around launching specials once she gets her debuffs going. The synergy she has with him will allow her to inflict shocks on the opponent for each hit of their special that doesn’t connect. Combine that with Nimrod’s “New Wave” synergy, which gives robots increased combat power rate for each shock on the opponent, and I feel like you’ll be able to see her damage a lot quicker. Actually come to think of it, it’d also be nice to test out with Nebula as well.

Look like the costume design is based on House of M story arc. Is it correct?

It's confirmed......she's a robot
That's why they gave her that regen buff to compensate for loss of willpower regen

It’s also worth considering that if and when they do decide to tune down some part of a champion’s kit, they may at the same time bring up another part. Like for example “this champion’s power control is too potent and can keep an opponent locked down for an entire fight with little to no effort/skill. Let’s dial that back, but add in a bit more damage along the way.”

Wholly hypothetical situation there, but I could absolutely see Devs doing that when they look back at champion data.

I think she’s great. Best champ of 2021 so far. I even looked on aunt mai. She is 3rd highest in prestige, the #1 attack champ beating doom and Claire, however, terrible hp. However, with her self-repair, suicide masteries, and a nimrod synergy called resistance is futile, I think she might be up their with Diablo as another regen god. So to sum it up, she is great. And I will do my best to get a good star of her when the arena comes out.
