Who is the best tech defender?

With sentinel and arcade's buff, and the new cosmics countering redskull and Fam, I wonder who's the best tech defender now?

Ehh on this meta I found sentinel to be annoying af... Maybe i am not used to dexing him rooted...

I hate fighting Arcade and I don’t know why.

Red skull bc with bugged AI he holds his block for 3 minutes

Lost to all three in this meta.
Won in defense too. (I dont have senti).
Drafts define defenders. They are all great from what I experienced.

Red skull is a stall.
If arcade throws sp1, there's poison ticking.
Senti makes you alternate combo and specials another stall.

I think skull is annoying in some metas but he gets nuked easier than the other 2. It’s a toss up between Arcade and Sentinel for me

Honurable mention! Thronebreakers and new paragons, and even valiants occasionally rarely survive encounters with my viv, they haven't fought her much before and get hit by the unblockable sp1

I just hate this dude

As soon as you charge it you get smacked in the face 80% of the time

Pretty sure this was the one I saw 🤣

High sig shocker can still be annoying (not the best defender tho obv)

Sometimes you just gotta take the risk. 🤷‍♂️

Only if you don't intercept

...I'm supposed to intercept Shocker?

FAM?

Friendly001

Why is Sentinel even on the list? Lol.

He’s tanky, immune to armor break which slows down a lot of cosmics, makes you change your playstyle or deal with him ramped up, and his sig ability gives him some nasty armor and power gain before he dies.

Yes if you intercept shocker when he has above 50 charges, he'll lose charges and won't autoblock your specials. Or just use a autoblock counter

He’s a tankinel that’s why

Iron Patriot? :

FAM?

He's definitely near the top. What I don't get is how rarely I see people in BG use Red Magneto against him. He completely shuts FAM down.

Not a big fan of fighting Ant-Man Future

FAM?

He’s slow, you have to parry heavy till sp3. There are much faster options

If you parry heavy all the way to SP3 you'll be wasting prowesses.
You just have to build up your prowess once you get around 2 bars, and you don't have to parry, you can just throw a few heavies in the air and then cancel out of the last one into the SP3.
And of course if we're talking about the current GC node, a couple of SP1s will do the trick.

So tell us you haven't battled the buffed Sentinel without telling us you haven't. Lol

Has super high crit resistance and armor ups that cannot be removed

Debuffs trigger through block and he gains significant attack and armor when fully charged

Ganins 2.7 bars of power in ten seconds when armor ups expire when dropping below 20 percent health

You have to fight him TWICE every time because a new fully healthy Sentinel repaces the old one before he gets KOed.

Come on now.

@AOLOG everything is right but you don't have to fight him twice everytime. He get spare bot only if he uses sp3.

Wasy1

After his buff awakened Sentinel is a nightmare on defense

That's True but it's tough to stop him in BGs from an SP3 in unless you have him armor shattered with a Medusa SP3 when he gets to 20 percent health. At R3 and awakened , mine gains over 7K armor during that period and almost 3 full bars of power He is a definite ban for me.
