Sentinel (Final Fantasy XIII-2)

Sentinel is a role in Final Fantasy XIII-2. The role's main function is to shield allies from enemy attacks with enhanced defense.

Role Bonus: Damage/Wound Reduction
The Enhanced Role ability adds 1 rank; if the wearer has no boosts they would instead be treated as having Bonus Boost I and so forth.

Command Abilities
All Sentinel abilities are considered to be physical-based, thus Sentinels will be unable to act if they are afflicted with the Pain status effect.

Knight
The Knight is role exclusive to Lightning in the Requiem of the Goddess downloadable content scenario. It's unique ability, Immortality, renders Lightning invincible for each ATB gauge segment used.
