The underspire drop rate for sentinels is so poor I haven’t gotten a sentinel in over 6 months and some haven’t gotten any at all maybe the decimal in the drop rate was messed up instead of being a 0.10% it was accidentally made as 0.01% because at this point it doesn’t exist like hoard mimic and hoard mimic needs a change too because hardly anyone does explore anymore with so much to do now

Same here.. Spending gems and doing all the needed but no luck. Very disappointing and beyond acceptable.

I would genuinely continue to complete underspire every week even once i had all the guardians and I’m sure I’m not alone. It’s the rewards the boss dragons give that are the real prizes down there. No reason for the guardian drop rate to be so extremely low.

The number crunching done by those who collected the data in other threads suggests the drop rate is somewhere around 1.5%. Assuming full completion of the Underspire each week and maximum Sentinel battles – that’s 3 per area / 18 total per week, a number you effectively never see even if you spend the necessary resources to explore everything – statistics suggests you should only see one Sentinel drop per month. And it only gets worse if you don’t spend to complete everything or when you run into Underspire sections that don’t have 3 attempts per region.
It’s awful for the completionist, especially the completionist who tries to get by “on the cheap”, but this is one of those grinds that the developers clearly intend to keep certain types of player invested, spending time and other resources on a weekly basis.
I would consider this a greater “sin” if those Sentinel troops were necessary for things like kingdom progression. But they no longer are, because a large majority of kingdoms can get to maximum power without having to collect all the available troops. (At least until such time as the developers go back and add another tier of “challenges” and “accomplishments” to push it beyond Power Level 30.)
I’m still chasing the last Sentinel – I’ve had five of the six for quite some time now. I also haven’t seen very many Sentinel drops recently; I’ve only unearthed one (a duplicate) in the past several months and I am one of those people who completes the entire thing and explores half-or-more of the dead ends after that each week.
But like @redtoadstool above me, I prioritize the rewards from the other boss dragons, the ones that are pretty certain. And I look upon the Sentinel troop cards as a bonus if and when they show up, all the more because there are very few circumstances for which I’d even use the dumb things.

I finally completed the Sentinel set this week, with Monstrous Sentinel dropping from a common Undead Sentinel room.
I have 2 or 3 each of the other five.
I’ve been clearing pretty much every room since Sentinels were introduced. I’ll still be completing the boss rooms every week. I just won’t be clearing every side path any more.

…and put potions in Underspire. I’m tired of these slow battles with slow teams.
