*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 Storm of Arrows. Alternatively, use [[Striker Jones (BCS)|Striker Jones]]'s Concussive Shell.
*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 Bloons can intercept the damage against [[Corvus Academy of Arts]]. Two of them neutralize it if this Bloon is popped but not leaked.<!--does leaking really not trigger aoa-->
**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.
*Popping friendly Sentinel Bloons with things like [[Bloon Melter]] can be done to punish the opponent for trying to leak Sentinel Bloons.  
*[[Grand Saboteur (BCS)|Grand Saboteur]] users can bypass the [[Must Pop]] aspect of Sentinels but face unavoidable damage.
*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.
