Tips & Tricks
- Vault sentinels are too durable for most characters to one-shot at a distance, unfortunately, so expect to have to deal with their abilities. Most of the time, the reinforcements that arrive are less dangerous than those teleported in by ironbrand convokers, usually amounting to one or two more bands of enemies arriving before the mark wears off. If you find yourself marked and near some stairs to the floor above you, feel free to wait out the effect up there. Just don't be surprised if you need to stairdance a little when you decide to go back down.
- If marked on Vault:5, go back upstairs immediately. This floor can become incredibly deadly if a sentinel tags you.
- Most debilitating effects work very well against vault sentinels. Their low hit dice and magic resistance makes it easy to hit them with Mephitic Cloud or Ensorcelled Hibernation, and you can't go wrong with Silence.
History
Vault sentinels will be added in 0.12.
