Standing on the Pitchfork – Sentinel, MOA, or Hound?

Sentinels – The Reliable Utility Drones

Why players love them:

• Offer consistent support: ammo, energy orbs, repairs, and status application.

• Examples:

  • Carrier provides ammo and weapon autosupply.

  • Helios excels in scanning and enemy tracking.

  • Taxon specializes in shield restoration and crowd control.

• Revivable through support mods, and highly customizable with bonding mods.

MOAs – Utility in Motion

Why they stand out:

• Combine utility and offense; can carry sentinel weapons and equip vital mods like Link Health/Armor.

• Unique precepts such as:

  • Oloro MOA: Auto-hack consoles and grant movement buffs.

  • Tractor beam and anti-gravity options offer creative mobility tools.

• Effective as both support and portable utility platforms.

Hounds – Modular Canine Support

Why they’re gaining traction:

• Access to Sentinel weapons plus Link mods, amplifying durability and offensive output.

• Self-healing resists, and solid damage potential—excellent balance of support and combat.

• Especially useful with high-investment builds like those featuring Lavos (benefitting from Pack Leader synergies).

Community Voices

“Sentinels are good at gear support—primers, loot vacuum, ammo.”
“MOAs are amazing crowd controllers, with freeze orbs, hacking, and a personality all their own.”
“Sentinels and MOAs remain top-tier—thanks to bond-mod access and utility.”

Final Recommendation

For most playstyles—especially high-end missions, solo, or farming—Sentinels and MOAs take the crown due to their synergy with bonding mods and versatile utility. Hounds offer a robust alternative, especially when mod synergy mirrors beast companions but with added robotic flexibility.
