Why Choose It

Astral Sentinel is the right call when a town is preparing Astral Beacon, rally routing, or late ward projects. It rewards teams that can hold range, call targets, and react to repositioning.

  • Choose it when Beacon Lens, Rally Charge, or Astral Thread are blocking progress.
  • Bring ranged pressure and fast target calls.
  • Keep scouts and support players ready to reposition.

Mechanics

The Sentinel uses Phase Blink, Star Snare, Beacon Lance, Mirror Ring, and Astral Overclock to break predictable positioning.

  • Reacquire the boss quickly after Phase Blink.
  • Break or avoid Mirror Ring pressure before overcommitting.
  • Do not let Star Snare isolate healers, scouts, or miners.

Reward Route

Sentinel rewards are civic routing materials, not only combat loot.

  • Beacon Lens and Rally Charge feed Astral Beacon planning.
  • Astral Thread links ward, breach, and beacon supply chains.
  • Bank early Sentinel drops for shared infrastructure.
