== Playing the Sentinel ==

The Sentinel's job is a frontline ranged caste that engage marines at a distance. To utilize the Sentinel, you must:

*Keeping your distance and suppress fire on marines'
*Denying areas and marines' push via spitting toxin
*Stacking Intoxication on marines for damage over time
*Poking around corners to shoot at marines
*Coordinating with other xenomorphs to wreck marines
*Melting flares

As a Sentinel, your '''Intoxication''' is your main ability. It causes damage over time. An icon will appear under a victim, indicating the level of Intoxication. A blinking icon means it has stacked to a critical level, which is important for the Drain Sting ability. The critical level is 20 stacks.

In general, you want to apply this offensively by focusing a single marine so that you can stack up Intoxication. The more you stack, the more damage over time you give the marine. Your '''Toxic Spit''' may be weak by itself, but when paired with any of the other melee castes, you can debuff down marines, and then have your partner completely put them out of commission. Your Toxic Spit can go through friendly xenomorphs! Because of this, the Sentinel can help support combat inside and out of the hive as long as you never walk alone.

If yourself being pursued, you can always use your spit to ward off your pursuers and hopefully lead them awayYour spit can also be used as a disengagement tool and can give you the chance you need to flee and recover. Remember, the longer you live as a Xeno, the stronger you become, so fleeing is not just tactical, it's smart.

Your small size allows you to crawl through vents. Alt Click a vent to begin entering it. If you get a message that the vents are disconnected, a-help, as it's a known issue and the sooner it's fixed the sooner the rest of the hive can benefit. Regardless, you should always be keeping yourself busy with melting tools, barricades, medical tools, supplies, and anything else you think could be used by the enemy. Lamps should be melted to deny marines light, and if you see any APCS, you should slash them until you get a message that sparks fly out. Be careful not to get caught alone, and pay attention to the hivemind so you aren't caught off-guard when the marines land. If you are the first person to see them, you should shout them out over the hivemind, and tell how many, where they are, and where they appear to be headed. 

One last ability you possess is your '''Corrosive Acid'''. Though you can't spit it at your foes, you can use it to melt anything of use to the marines. Your acid is generally weak and will take an excruciatingly long time to melt just about anything, but if you see a gun or a flare lying around, you might be prudent to melt it anyways.
