Introduction
In Teamfight Tactics (TFT) Set 13, the Sentinel trait is a powerful choice for players seeking a resilient, defensive strategy. This trait provides a boost in Armor and Magic Resist to the entire team, with Sentinels themselves gaining triple the effect. At two Sentinels, your team receives 10 Armor and Magic Resist, increasing to 25 at four Sentinels, and an impressive 50 at six Sentinels. This extra durability allows your champions to withstand both physical and magical damage, making Sentinel a strong foundation for teams aiming to survive extended battles and wear down opponents.

Early game:
- Play with 2 Sentinels in the front line and 2 Visionaries in the back line.
- Team: Vex - Morgana - Irelia - Singed

- Finish carry items for Vex first
Mid game:

- Team: Play with 4 Sentinels and 2 Visionaries.
Late game:
- Please play and arrange the units as shown in the table above.
- If you level up to 9, you can add Viktor or Mel, and Morgana can be replaced with Malzahar depending on what you have.
