Sentinel's new abilities in Marvel Strike Force

Sentinel's special ability is known as Neutralize Target. During the latest adjustments, Sentinel's protection is boosted by extending his Defense Up and Deflect to all allies' abilities, making it more versatile for non-Orchis team setups. Here's the breakdown of the new abilities:

• Summons 1 random Sentinel Reinforcement ally.
• Attacks the primary target for 250% damage and bonus attacks three times for 100% damage.
• Applies Defense Up for 2 turns and 2 Deflect to self and all allies (not just Orchis allies).
• Possible Summons: Sentinel Reinforcement (Gun) and Sentinel Reinforcement (Sword)

On the other hand, Sentinel's passive ability in Marvel Strike Force is called Mutant Hunter. The recent upgrade adds a strategic Immunity boost to the ability and prevents enemies from gaining key defensive buffs like Deflect, making Sentinel a tougher target. Here's a breakdown of the abilities:

• On spawn and revive, summons 1 random Sentinel Reinforcement ally.
• On spawn, if Sentinel has 2 or more Orchis allies, the summoned ally gains Taunt.
• Applies Immunity to self and all Orchis allies on spawn.
• Possible Summons: Sentinel Reinforcement (Gun) and Sentinel Reinforcement (Sword).
• On the first turn, Sentinel gains Taunt and applies Safeguard for 2 turns to self and all Orchis allies.
• If Sentinel has 3 or more Orchis allies, enemies cannot gain Deathproof or Deflect.
