Sentry Champion is a very weak tower without external buffs, however it's effective in the presence of them. Champion Sentries attack extremely fast with many projectiles, but have very low damage and pierce. They also inherit speed buffs from the Sentry Champion, effectively multiplying the effect of the buff by increasing both sentry attack speed and deployment rate. Thus, pairing it with at least a [[Call to Arms (BTD6)|Call to Arms]] and [[Jungle Drums (BTD6)|Jungle Drums]] is mandatory for it to be a viable DPS option.

[[Homeland Defense (BTD6)|Homeland Defense]] pairs similarly as a strong synergy, as the sentries get placed twice as quickly and each sentry gets the double attack speed and extra pierce buffs.


Sentry Champion also benefits from damage buffs and blimp debuffs. Despite a moderate tier 5 cost, it's one of the cheaper tier 5s when accounting for previous tiers, allowing more cash to be spent on the necessary buffs and debuffs.
