Sentinel is Armor break immune?

Edit: Nimrod reduces armor break potency by 100% but he isn't immune

Seems like his defensive ability has gone through the roof

szesh

it's not very. look at nimrod—he makes armor breaks useless

Pikolu

The real thing isn't that he is armor break immune, it is he is Medusa proof

He's also Scream proof as well

Can Medusa go straight to sp3 to apply armor shatter and get around this?

Probably, but that’s too slow and unreliable in time-sensitive modes like bgs, plus you’ll still be taking a big hit in damage without the accompanying armor break juicing your numbers.

Shattered will still work and reduce his abilities/power but you’re going to give him a lot of charges on your way there : (

Gladiator goes brrr

This is just sad, they basically reversed the Magneto buff - he really should be the only mutant that's favoured against the tech class

That’s a shame. She was mvp during my way to cav because i could shut down sentinel in 6.1.2 and 6.1.6.

Could probably still be find in .6 but i’d imagine people using alternative in 6.2 since you’ll die from the hazard node before you could even get to sp3

Then they must give out 7* Magneto for compensation

Why? Just why is Sentinel armor break immune now? So some Cosmics will now have 0 effect on them?? Is this part of Kabam's continued efforts to reduce class advantage benefits?

Yeah it doesn't make sense, that's why I made this post. First Nimgod then Sentinel

Yeah, I would have preferred a Colossus-type approach at least; where he's immune to Armour Break against non-Cosmic champions...

Tbh tech needed something to ignore vs cosmic as scream and dusa just went no armors for either no auto blocks so i like this also now u have to play around him more which be exciting

Then he should have been Reverse Control Immune since he's a robot and that will reduce Knull's effectiveness. Nimrod was already Armor Break immune, so that fullfilled the Tech class's "need" already.

I'm not going to stress it too much since it's just Sentinel, but if this starts to become a trend with the Tech class, that's going to be a problem.

Well his counter is already in game pulverise

Exactly.

LordSmasher

Don't worry, they'll soon introduce a new mechanic called "Armor Melt" which is like Armor Break but because it has a different name it will work.

Fantomaxop

it's not very. look at nimrod—he makes armor breaks useless

He cannot be oneshoted by cgr, and makes a lot of armor breakers like Knull very ineffective
Sentinel will straight up shut down all of them

altavista

Eh, it is just one thing to make him stand out, so I'm not worried. I personally don't have any affinity for Sentinel as a character, and the rest of his abilities doesn't really impress me compared to other Robots or other Tech champions. The armor break immunity is the one thing I see that makes me think, huh, I could see a use for this.

Besides, Lady Deathstrike has Armor Break immunity when her regen ability is active.

This already exists, it’s pulverize, and I know that at least Beta Ray Bill has it. It doesn’t reduce armor the way break does, but it removes the effect and maybe does something else? I dunno, I haven’t used Bill much.

But scream destroys nimrod as she doesnt care about armor break potency as her sp2 just does burst hits and she ignores armor ups as her sig and well if sentinel wasnt immune well this will also happen to sentinel of being just nuked by scream

Maybe kinda like Nullify and Destroy

Imagine give someone a buff that now she can fully counter robot just to have a robot is immune to that effect, not to mention they're in the same crystal. Kinna funny ngl

Sure he has some other very good abilities but armor break immunity is a very meh immunity very few meta champs get shut down cause of it

Yeah I get that. And I'm not concerned about Sentinel himself, it's the addition of another armor break immune Tech. Why keep going in that direction? Cosmic champs are beneficial for their powerful armor breaks against Techs. If this continues, that advantage will be obsolete.

It would be nice if Kabam also plans to give certain Cosmic champs who ifnflict armor breaks *ahem ahem* some type of armor-break immune countering buff then.

But cosmics are going away from armor breaks scream vs techs no armor ups if above 4 of her stacks beta pulverise they changing cosmics more and more just techs stay with just one thing armor ups no immunity to it to help there defensive capability like red skull well use scream and hes not effective because he cant gain armor ups

JhonST33

Why are you complaining about sentinel being armor break inmune, it's not like he is the hardest champ in the game, defensively talking, also there are several cosmic inmune to nullify or feat sealed, we have the leader the wich his debuffs can not be purified or cleaned, there a lot of class that work different as before.
