Sentinel Bloon is a classless Bloon card in Bloons Card Storm, introduced in version 5.0. Sentinel Bloon is only created by Mountain Obyn's Summon Sentinel ability. Opposing Monkeys that manually target 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. If Adora pops it via Ultimate Sacrifice, her life heal occurs before the Sentinel's On Popped effect. It is not available in the Collection.

The card artwork portrays Mountain Obyn summoning a Sentinel Bloon.

• 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.
  • Players can skip using manually targeted Monkeys if they are not threatened with other one-delay Bloons. Mortars, Defenders, and 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 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's passive; however, this shouldn't be a problem unless he was almost unlocking Ammo Stores.
