'''Sentinels''' guard treasure like [[resources]], [[ingredients]], [[runes]], [[items]] and [[artefacts]].
There are 9 regular types of sentinels, their strength indicated by a number: sentinels level 1 to 9.

Additionally, for each [[league]] there are three exemplars of the special [[Sentinels A|sentinels type A]]. These sentinels stand guard over a unique treasure, one of the mysterious [[artefacts]] [[Image:Artefact-yellow.png|25px]]. A sentinel A has the same strength as a sentinel 2 and has the same amount of [[resources]], but gives no [[items]].

== Locating ==
The locations of the sentinels are marked as coloured dragon heads in the [[Mad Eye]]. The colour corresponds to the sentinel's level. In the search bar at the right you can choose which level of sentinel you want to see (1-9, A or all)

== Strategy ==



It is possible to [[spy]] on a sentinel before attacking to estimate the strength of its defence.

=== Attacking a sentinel ===
An attack on a sentinel does not yield experience points for the sentinel units that are killed. Experience points are rewarded only for the own losses. Therefore, a fight against a sentinel yields only half the experience points compared to a fight against another [[magician]]. This changes if you attack a sentinel defended by a magician. Then the awarded experience points depend on the sentinel's and the defender's strength.

Sentinel have different levels with different strength. You can see the level of a particular sentinel in your [[Mad Eye]]. The higher the level of a sentinel, the more [[resources]] and [[ingredients]] can be looted.

As a rule of thumb, you should take an army as strong as a 4 with as many "0"s as the sentinel's level to attack (Sentinel 1: 40, Sentinel 2: 400, Sentinel 3: 4000,...).



===Defending a sentinel===
Sentinels of level 2 or higher can be [[defence|defended]] by a hero and his horde, so you have to be cautious when attacking a sentinel.
If you want to defend a sentinel, your hero has to be in the same [[valley]] as the sentinel. The status of the hero has to be [[valley defence]]. If the status is [[area defence]], only allied units are defended, not the neutral sentinels.

==Outcome of an attack==
===Victory===
If you win against a sentinel, its remaining units disappear and some time later a new sentinel will spawn somewhere in the world. Looted [[ingredients]] are credited to your profile immediately. [[Artefacts]] are transferred to your main [[palace]] and [[items]] are put into your item box. Only transporting the looted [[resources]] is your own responsibility.

{{Important|If you did not bring enough [[Unicorn Carts]], excess loot will be left in the valley!}}

===Defeat===
If you are defeated by the sentinel, its remaining units guard the treasure until the sentinel is beaten.
