Snow – Sentinel Crystarium

Character Snow
Role Sentinel
Snow is the prototypical Sentinel, gaining every Ability except Elude. Snow's job is to stand there and take punishment. While he has the same Ability list as Fang, Snow is a bit better as a Sentinel because of his high HP total and access to Weapons with the Improved Guard and Improved Ward abilities.

Fang – Sentinel Crystarium

Character Fang
Role Sentinel
Like Snow, Fang has access to every standard Sentinel Ability (i.e., except Elude), though her lower HP total and relative lack of defensive Weapons makes her a bit less effective than him. She does get Mediguard first, so I guess that's something.

Hope – Sentinel Crystarium

Character Hope
Role Sentinel
Despite having the lowest HP in the game, Hope makes for a fairly interesting Sentinel. Like Lightning, he doesn't get Challenge and favors Elude over Mediguard and Steelguard, but Hope also gets the counterattack Abilities, Entrench and Vendetta. He's fun to play around with, but not much use against truly powerful enemies.

Lightning – Sentinel Crystarium

Character Lightning
Role Sentinel
Lightning is an interesting Sentinel, relying on the Elude Ability rather than Mediguard or Steelguard. This Ability (the only one she can use besides Provoke) allows her to dodge attacks with a very high rate of success. However, it only works on Physical attacks, making Lightning a sitting duck against Magic-wielding foes. Still, when it works, it's very effective and requires very little healing.

Sazh – Sentinel Crystarium

Character Sazh
Role Sentinel
Sazh is all about defense as a Sentinel. That may seem to go without saying, but he doesn't get any evasion Abilities, and while he does get Vendetta he does not get Entrench or the Counter auto Ability. He also doesn't get Mediguard, so if Sazh is your defender, you'll need to keep an eye on his HP. He does have the second-highest HP total in the game, though, and is the only non-primary Sentinel with Challenge.

Snow – Commando Crystarium

Character Snow
Role Commando
As Commandos go, Snow is pretty effective, lacking only the Lifesiphon and Faultsiphon Abilities. It can be difficult to actually use him as a Commando much earlier in the game, since he's so effective as a Sentinel, but he'll get the job done. His Sovereign Fist Ability clears the chain gauge and deals massive damage, so it's best used near the end of an enemy's stagger period (and preferably with a Genji Glove equipped).

Snow – Medic Crystarium

Character Snow
Role Medic
Snow has the same strengths and weaknesses as a Medic as Sazh—no Raise (which is no big deal) and eventual access to Curasa (which is very important when dealing with the most dangerous enemies). If you're actually going to use the Salvation paradigm (MED/MED/MED), make sure you're Characters who can at least cast Curasa.

Snow – Ravager Crystarium

Character Snow
Role Ravager
Snow is the complementary Ravager to Sazh, gaining access to all tiers of Blizzard and Water spells but lacking Fire and Thunder (including the related -strike Abilities). Snow does get Vigor, but lacks Aeroga, which is a powerful crowd control spell. By having access to only two Elements (and the first two tiers of Aero), you have to pay attention to an enemy's weakness before using Snow as a Ravager.

Snow – Saboteur Crystarium

Character Snow
Role Saboteur
Snow's Saboteur is the complement to Lightning's, as he lacks the defense-lowering debuffs Deprotect, Deshell, Poison, and Imperil, but has full access to single- and multi-target versions of Slow, Curse, Daze, Fog, and Pain. Also like Lightning, he lacks access to Dispel. If you're fighting an enemy with powerful offensive abilities, Snow can be very effective, but he won't help you deal much damage against them.

Snow – Synergist Crystarium

Character Snow
Role Synergist
Snow is a decent Synergist as long as you don't care about elemental buffs—he doesn't get any Bar-spells or En-spells, nor does he get Veil. He does have the standard Protect/Shell and Bravery/Faith pairs, though, so he's a useful enough Synergist in a pinch.

Vanille – Sentinel Crystarium

Character Vanille
Role Sentinel
Vanille as a Sentinel? Surely not! And truth be told, she's not very good at it. She has Mediguard at least, but not much else, including Challenge. She does have more HP than Lightning or Hope, but both of them are evasion Sentinels anyway. Basically, you don't want Vanille to be your main Sentinel. She's fine in the Tortoise (SEN/SEN/SEN) paradigm, but not much else.
