Sentinel Overview for Last Epoch (Patch 1.0)
Strong in honor and fearsome in combat, the Sentinel stands stalwart against what is unjust even at the end of the world.
Introduction to Sentinel
"Strong in honor and fearsome in combat, the Sentinel stands stalwart against what is unjust, even at the end of the world."
Sentinel takes the role of a knight class in Last Epoch. This class is highly versatile, capable of being a master of minions, commanding weapons and posessed armor, a dark knight who controls the energy of the Void itself, or a holy warrior, bringing down the wrath of heaven unto their enemies. Sentinel also comes jam-packed with an abundant amount of support skills, capable of buffing and healing allies and themselves. Once you unlock the ability to choose a Mastery, Sentinel can branch off into one of the following sub-classes, all specializing in their own unique gameplay:
Sentinel Skills
