Sentry Ward

The Sentry Ward is an item purchasable at the Main Shop, under Consumables.

Additional information

 * Stacks with itself and with Observer Wards in inventory.
 * Sentry Wards are completely shareable.

Tips

 * Sentry Wards' detection radius is quite large, making them useful for keeping an eye out on invisible heroes in key areas, given one has vision over that area.
 * Sentry Wards are commonly used to de-ward enemy wards, as they are able to detect their wards.
 * When dewarding, the ward is best placed so that its true sight reaches multiple common ward spots, so that it is more likely to spot enemy wards.
 * If an enemy ward location is known, the sentry ward is best placed so that the enemy won't find it when they try to de-ward the sentry wards, like between some trees, but still so that their ward is within true sight range.
 * Similar to Observer Wards, Sentry Wards can also be used to block neutral creep camps.

Lore

 * Knowing how to craft a ward is an important skill for artificers of magical goods. Rylai showed great talent at crafting wards, and once considered becoming an artificer.
