Heroes VI Sentinels also protect adjacent allies through Shielding. Deploy by recipients and the actual incoming damage type rather than adding protection percentages.
Watch for: Do not transfer this rule to the base Heroes VII Sentinel. Ranged protection, damage sharing and Might/Magic protection are separate effects.
Timing, specific abilities and the follow-up plan
Combat movement 5 and Initiative 20 are separate. Choose a reachable target by current order and the actual physical or magical attack type.
Shielding: Absorbs 35% of damage aimed at an adjacent ally, reducing the absorbed hit by 25%. The protector can therefore lose creatures without being directly attacked.
Shielded Sentinel: Sentinel and Praetorian take 25% less ranged damage. Their own protection is distinct from absorbing damage aimed at adjacent allies.

Reading this profile correctly
Read Might/Magic damage and protection separately. Protection percentages are not raw Defense attributes. Campaign forms, bosses and transformations do not establish separate ordinary recruitment.
The table separates Might and Magic damage, including the element. Protection percentages are not raw defense attributes; ability bonuses cannot simply be added to them. Growth belongs to the listed reference recruitment form and does not guarantee the same count in every town and patch. Ranged reach is not ammunition. Read separate conditions for bosses and Namtaru forms.
111 stat profiles from eight historical Acid Cave inventories: 86 faction forms, 12 neutrals and 13 bosses. The faction inventory covers 84 base and upgraded creatures, with additional separate humanoid and spider forms for Fate Spinner and Fate Weaver. A boss is not an ordinary recruit. Might and Magic damage are separate; protection percentages are not raw defense attributes. Values describe the cited reference tables rather than every patch and scenario.
