'''Sentinel Bloon''' is a classless [[Bloon (BCS)|Bloon]] [[card]] in ''[[Bloons Card Storm]]'', introduced in {{BCS version|5.0}}. Sentinel Bloon is only created by [[Mountain Obyn (BCS)|Mountain Obyn]]'s Summon Sentinel ability. Opposing [[Monkey (BCS)|Monkey]]s that manually target [[Must Pop|must pop]] this Bloon first. If popped, it does 30 damage to the opponent's Hero, but it deals no Hero damage if it leaks. It is not available in the Collection.

==Tips==

{{Research|Verify if leaking Sentinel to a Corv AoA triggers it or Heroprot, and re-word the tips there.}}

*~~If used wisely~~, Sentinel Bloon can slow down the opponent's attacks on other stronger Bloons. The opponent may need to either not let manually targeted Monkeys attack this Bloon or face the unavoidable 30 damage.

*Sentinel Bloons work best in any situation where you want to chip the opponent's health. With the right timing, Sentinel Bloon can slow down the opponent's attacks on other stronger Bloons. The opponent may need to either not let manually targeted Monkeys attack this Bloon or face the unavoidable 30 damage.

*~~Sentinel Bloon needs two~~ [[~~Spike Storm!|Spike Storm~~]]s ~~to be popped. Other board clears to stop early Sentinel Bloons include~~ [[~~Firestorm~~ (BCS)|~~Firestorm~~]] (~~Gwen only~~) or [[~~Quincy (BCS)|Quincy~~]]~~'s Flurry of Arrows~~. ~~Alternatively, use~~ [[~~Striker Jones~~ (BCS)|~~Striker Jones~~]]~~'s Concussive Shell~~.

**Players can skip using manually targeted Monkeys if they are not threatened with other one-delay Bloons. Mortars, [[Defender]]s, and [[Adora (BCS)|Adora]] (including Sun Shield) can make it difficult to simply tank the Sentinel Bloons.

*Sentinel Bloons can intercept the damage against [[Corvus Academy of Arts]]~~. Two of~~ them ~~neutralize it if this Bloon is popped but not leaked~~.

*Popping friendly Sentinel Bloons with things like [[Bloon Melter]] can be done to punish the opponent for trying to leak Sentinel Bloons.

*[[Booster Bloon]] and [[Improved Fortification]] can increase Sentinel Bloon's health and keep it on the board for more turns, allowing it to fill a similar role to [[Target Practice Blimp]] without the weakness of being a Large Bloon. These cards are generally better used on attacking Bloons, however.

*[[Grand Saboteur (BCS)|Grand Saboteur]] users can bypass the [[Must Pop]] aspect of Sentinels but face unavoidable damage.

*Summoning a Sentinel counts for an enemy [[Striker Jones (BCS)|Striker Jones]]'s passive, ~~however~~ this shouldn't be a problem unless he was almost unlocking Ammo Stores.

*Sentinel Bloons can intercept the damage against [[Corvus Academy of Arts]], which can only be circumvented via a Bloon removal or tanking them.

*[[Booster Bloon]] and [[Improved Fortification]] can increase Sentinel Bloon's health and keep it on the board for more turns, allowing it to fill a similar role to [[Target Practice Blimp]] without the weakness of being a Large Bloon. These cards are generally better used on attacking Bloons, however, as cards like [[Return to Sender]] can negate this strategy.

*Summoning a Sentinel counts for an enemy [[Striker Jones (BCS)|Striker Jones]]'s passive; however, this shouldn't be a problem unless he was almost unlocking Ammo Stores.
