Don't you read the forums? Duh. Black is useful, but you don't need it as long as the AI doesn't match (or transform) your Sacrifice strike tile. Plus you need 9 Black AP to make use of it - that's at least one extra match. 5 Blue on the other hand is far more useful both with and without Sentry shield hopping. The debate is whether 5 Black or 5 Yellow are more important. 5 Blue is a given.

The advantage of Hood + Sentry is that Hood might steal enough AP to save you a match, and that can save precious time. The advantage of Lazy Daken + Sentry is that you might get enough strike tiles from matching green that you don't have to match yellow, and that can save precious time. Hood can be better on defense because he can steal enemy AP, plus he tends to go down first, and the other people may be able to get some skills off as a result. Lazy Daken can be better on defense because he has more hit points, tends to get taken out last, and can fill the board with strike tiles while regenerating damage. Personally, I prefer Hood, but they both have advantages.
