Review:

Finally, a character with more concise text and not 20.000 different effects and clauses.

Sentinel forms the third piece of the Bloodtithe quartet, and her main gimmick is providing the team with highly consistent self-damage to generate stacks of Bloodtithe.

She also has a bit of buffing, granting [Dread Bullet]s to the ally directly in front of her and buffing their Crit Rate, DMG Bonus and even allowing Sentinel to cycle Moxie whenever an ally uses one of her bullets.

Her main job, however, is applying [Fresh Wound], which she can stack on herself and causes her to take damage at the end of the round. In addition, this damage generates more Bloodtithe than usual. Sentinel generates this buff through effectively every action she takes, be it her skills or her Ultimate. So let’s talk about those.

“Night Watch” is the more complicated of the two and also the more important one. Sentinel enters her [Hour of Repentance] channel, granting stacks of [Locked On] to herself while also granting [Dread Bullets] to both herself and the ally in front of her. When an enemy takes an action or at the end of the turn, Sentinel consumes stacks of [Locked On] to cast instances of her first Incantation: “Expiation”.

“Expiation” is a simple 1-target attack whose damage scales with HP and grants Sentinel stacks of [Fresh Wound].

“Infernal Mercy”, her Ultimate, is a 1-target nuke that consumes stacks of [Fresh Wound] to deal additional damage.

Gameplay:

Part 3 of the Bloodtithe Exodia.

Sentinel is the team’s battery, stacking [Fresh Wound] for lots of self-damage for Bloodtithe generation.

Besides that she provides a slew of powerful things. For one, she does a very solid amount of personal damage through her constant “Expiation” casts and the damage buffs she gains from utilizing [Dread Bullet]s.

Supportively, beyond her very solid stacking of [Fresh Wound] on herself, she has [Dread Bullet] that she can share with the ally directly in front of her. This grants a considerable amount of DMG Bonus based on Max HP and, through Sentinel’s Insights, it also grants Crit Rate, DMG Bonus, Crit Conversion and at Insight 3 she also gains Moxie (or [Fresh Wound]) whenever [Dread Bullet]s are used.

Pros & Cons
Pros

  • Very consistent and effective generation of [Bloodtithe] through [Fresh Wound].

  • High personal damage through continuous “Expiation” and Ultimate casts.

  • Solid offensive support with additional Crit Rate, DMG Bonus and Crit Conversion.

Cons

  • Can only spread [Dread Bullet] to one ally.

Prioritizes HP and Critical Rate/DMG. Max HP is really important in Bloodtithe comps, even more so in Sentinel's case as [Retribution] and [Dread Bullet] incentivize HP investment.

Comments

Homecoming Lament is Sentinel's signature psychube, and it's her best option by a wide margin. High base HP, 16% HP substat, 8–16% DMG Dealt, and 18–36% Critical DMG is really hard to beat.

Into the Gentle Current is a fantastic alternative psychube. It has the exact same base stats and offers 12–24% Ultimate Might and 16–32% Critical DMG.

Family Mentor is an ult-based option with 16% HP. Her [Hour Repentance] attacks count as ripostes, so she can stack up to 12–24% Ultimate Might. Sadly, she isn't a Beast afflatus character, so she can't trigger the team-wide Critical DMG buff.

Beyond Wonderland provides 7–21% Critical DMG on top of its 16% HP substat. No debuff incantation means no Healing Bonus, but Sentinel doesn't care about that.

The Fighter's Best Wishes is a more defensive 16% HP option. [Fresh Wound] and other Bloodtithe effects mean she's almost always going to have the 10% DMG Taken Reduction active. The Genesis DMG Dealt is wasted on her, though.

The remaining 16% HP psychubes aren't particularly compelling. Embrace the Past is Nautika's signature, and you really shouldn't be using Sentinel without her. The Third Commitment is much better on Euphoria Semmelweis (who should be on the team with Sentinel). Tiny Wish is useless outside of A Series of Dusks, Aurora After Winter is completely useless (no buff incantation, no Star afflatus), and 5* psychubes generally aren't worth it because they have lower base stats.

About the team

Undeniably intensely powerful, the Bloodtithe team is something both safe and risky. Nautika and Semmelweis cause HP levels to bounce frequently, leveled out by Rubuska's healing, revive mechanics and Nautika's [Higge] and defensive buffs. It generates Bloodtithe quickly, allowing for 2 round "Divine Yoik" cycles that deal an absolutely ungodly amount of damage while under Semmelweis' Array and through Sentinel's powerful amping and consistent [Bloodtithe] generation. Flutterpage and Melania(E) can sometimes be used in place for Sentinel whereas Rubuska can be swapped out for Fatutu and Medicine Pocket(E) if needed.

About the team

JNZ's high frequency of FUAs in her channel easily builds [Gust] and keeps [Shell Beacon] at a high uptime and her damage is further facilitated through [Adieu! Mother Earth], stacked [Spirit Shell] and +FUA DMG Dealt. This combined with her how +Incan Might stacking and now easy access to [Liquor] makes this team the highest freq FUA team in the game. In addition, this makes it very sustainable through the ridiculous amount of [Spirit Shell] bounces. Lastly, Sentinel generates a bunch of Crit Rate for all allies which is never a bad thing, though she can be swapped out for characters like Pickles(E).
