What the item does
01
Use: Plant
Places an invisible True Sight ward that reveals invisible enemy units and wards within a 1050 radius if they are in your vision. Lasts 7 minutes.
Does not provide ground vision. Hold Ctrl to give a single ward to an allied hero.
How I decide
«Sentry reveals invisibility, but I still need normal vision.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- Invisibility or an enemy ward prevents us crossing the area we need.
- 02 My decision
- I combine True Sight with vision and check the area the team intends to occupy.
- 03 What I avoid
- Assume one Sentry alone revealed every invisible unit beyond the terrain.
When I would buy it
Before an action made dangerous by invisible enemies or enemy vision.
Which heroes I would try it on
Examples based on mechanics. The role, opponents and team plan determine the final choice.
What to compare it with
Similar purposes do not make items interchangeable. I compare effect, price and timing.
