Astral Sentinel

A column-shaped stone guardian that stands like a pillar on its pedestal until you walk into its range.

Version: 0.1.0-pre-alpha

Sentinels look like part of the architecture until they wake, unfolding and lifting off their pedestals. They fight from range: a single Resonance Bolt after a moment of aiming, a Tri-Shot of three aimed shots, and a glowing square on the ground that is struck a moment later. They never fire without a clear line of sight.

The trick is to send their bolts back. A shield or a well-timed hit reflects a Resonance Bolt, and a reflected bolt overloads the Sentinel: its core opens, it stops attacking and takes far more damage. It also overloads after three attack sequences. The rest of the time its armour swallows most of your blows.

Attacks

  • Resonance Bolt

    1 s of aiming, 5 damage; a shield or a hit sends it back.

  • Tri-Shot

    three aimed shots.

  • Ground Marker

    the marked square is hit after 1.8 s for 6 damage.

  • Overload

    5.5 s open core, 160 percent damage; otherwise armour lets only 30 percent through.
