When to Pick Sentry Mode
Sentry Mode is a 2-cost power card for the Necrobinder. Powers offer lasting value across the entire fight. Pick this when your deck needs scaling.
When to Skip
Powers require a setup turn. If your deck lacks defense or needs to act immediately, skip until you have the energy to spare. This card provides no direct damage, block, or draw. It is a situational pick — prioritize basic needs first.
Upgrade Value

How to play Sentry Mode
- Play it early so you start collecting Sweeping Gazes. The card is a long-fight engine, not a burst tool.
- Use the generated attacks to trigger on-attack effects. They are free cards, so they fit naturally into decks that reward playing many cards.
- Upgrade it when the deck is stable. Two energy to one makes it much easier to fit into a turn.
Common mistakes
- Expecting immediate damage. Sentry Mode needs several turns to pay for itself.
- Playing it when your hand is already full. The generated card can be wasted.
Cards that work with Sentry Mode
Sentry Mode wants a deck that can use extra cards every turn. Spirit of Ash turns the Ethereal density into block, and Soul Storm benefits from the extra Souls in the exhaust pile.
Where to get Sentry Mode
Sentry Mode is in the Necrobinder rare pool. It can appear in card rewards after combat, in shops, and in events that generate cards. Elites and bosses do not guarantee it, but they usually improve your odds of seeing higher-rarity cards.
