sentry

This more like a general discussion but oh well. what is this 'spell presence' from Sentry ability? this ability does what exactly?

 

Sentry = +2 Spell Presence
Standard = 5
Champion with Sentry is thus 7

 

so...having increased Spell presence does what?

 

Gives you more range to use spells (and equipment I think).

 

It allows you to cast spells from a longer distance.

 

ahh...i see. thanks guys

 

My original change for the mnt sentry gave him Sentry rank 3 (only one other champ in the game that has it... in FS I think)... but it got scrubbed.

 

If you select a champion and press "P" you'll see his spell presence, that represents the places where you are allowed to cast spells and equip champions. Summons, illusions and relics have no spell presence.
Abilities that affect spell presence are:
faithless: this champion has 0 spell presence
sentry 1,2,3: this champion's spell presence is increased by 1,2,3, flight grants sentry 2
mystic push: friendly spell presence is increased by 1 and opposing is reduced by 1, this stacks, 2 means that you cannot use AoEs without damaging your champions

there are some spells too.

The most crazy spell presence champion is puppet master, with sentry 3 and mystic push it has 9! spell presence and it's a real lot, when you deploy another is 10 and your enemy 3, and if you deploy a couple battle mystics also is 12-1

 

Interesting point Gab. If you split KF and UD (other synergies there too), and rank two PMs, two Mystics and two Mirrors you could have some fun being annoying to your enemy. Flying would have 1 spell presence, grounded -1, or 0.
