Destiny 2: all Titan Sentinel subclass skills and abilities
Destiny 2 goes all Captain America with a new, shield-bearing Titan subclass, the Sentinel.
Destiny 2 bids farewell to the old void subclass, Defender, and replaces it with the Sentinel, a new type of Titan. So you enjoyed throwing hammers around? You're gonna love this shield. As part of our Destiny 2 guide, we'll break down the subclass in full.
The Sentinel's Super, Sentinel Shield, is a versatile roaming ability. While it is active you can run around striking your enemies with melee blows, guarding against incoming damage from the front, and even throwing the shield - whatever you fancy. On base spec you can only throw the shield once, but it does ricochet meaning you can hit multiple targets at once.
The two Titan Sentinel passive skill trees are clearly divided between attack and defence. Code of the Protector is all about creating shields and restoring health, for you and your allies. That's one for tanks and paladin types, and should be great for raids and Nightfalls.
If you're more into blowing stuff up, Code of the Aggressor has abilities that allow you to do more damage more often with super and grenade, especially if you get in among the baddies.
You can learn more about all of this through Arekkz's video below, or scroll down past it to see the full Titan Sentinel skill tree in text form.
This page is part of our Destiny 2 class and subclass guides. Check it out for details on the Sunbreaker and Striker subclasses, as well as information on how to use your Super effectively and combining class powers to maximise DPS.
