Sentry Summon Items

Sentry Summon Items are summon weapons that spawn secondary characters that will aid the player during battle by automatically attacking enemies within range. Unlike minions, sentries do not follow the player, but remain stationary. A sentry costs mana to summon initially, but stay for a fixed duration of 10 minutes thereafter at no further cost. They cannot be hurt or killed. Unlike minions, sentries persist after the player dies. They do however disappear if the player summons a replacement sentry or exits the world.

Sentries sold by the Tavernkeep can only be summoned during the Old One's Army event and require 10 Etherian Mana to be summoned. After successfully completing the event at least once in a given world the player can use them freely outside of the event like normal sentries.

The best modifier for sentry summon items is Ruthless.

Notes

  • By default, a player can only have a single sentry summoned at once. Various boosts can raise the player's sentry capacity ("slots"), allowing multiple simultaneous sentries. With sentry cap boosts in effect, the same sentry can be summoned multiple times, or several different sentries can be summoned. Using the proper armor, accessories and buffs, the maximum number of sentries can be raised up to 5.

Tips

  • Since sentries do not suffer from Mana Sickness, repeatedly summoning sentries can be a viable way to deliver high damage constantly when using a sentry that attacks instantly after being summoned.
