The Sentry protects the bank by dealing with blockers.
IME, it’s the most neglected role and, when players do pay attention to it, it’s the one they often get wrong.

IMO, here are some things to consider:
The information at the top of the screen is crucial, specifically any motes the opposition team is holding and any blockers you have at the other team’s bank.
That information allows you to judge when you can help your team clearing adds and collecting motes, and when you need to focus on defending your bank. If you’re standing around doing nothing, or if your bank’s getting drained, you timed it wrong.
You can usually tell when the opposition team is going to send blockers by how many motes they’re holding.
If your team has sent blockers to the other team’s bank, you can also see when those blockers start disappearing (they’ll often bank immediately after the last blocker’s gone).
You only need one player with the right weapon to quickly defeat blockers (I’m currently using the lightsaber). If someone else is already taking care of it, you don’t need to get involved (unless there’s really nothing else you can do in that moment).

There ends the lesson. I’m not claiming to be a god tier player or anything like that - it’s just some tactical stuff I’ve noticed a lot of players don’t think about.
Anyone got any other tips for the Sentry role?

1 返信Good post. Reminds me of when we had specific armour for each role. I naturally became the defender of the bank with a long range weapon to help the collectors out.

7 通の返信currently a Dredgen 15 play fast and furious, always bank after the second area is cleared the "Sentry" should be the invader, I use SG with trench barrel also if your invading use Truth or MG, the Sentry should help clear the first two zones since you dont lose progress until your team has banked something. If someone on your team invades before you always bank something right then even if its a small one. use instant supers for DPS. If your invaded during DPS, hunt the invader, take them off the board, then continue DPS, always collect Heavy, hunting the HVT is optional if you the invader steal any motes you can of those you kill, when you return you can bank them, that's a special moment right there
