Understand Centaur
Useful when…
- Normal attacks with a majority Slash damage.
- A balanced critical profile among the listed basic Arch-Melee comparison candidates.
Normal attack and defense-related properties
The normal attack deals 376 total damage: 263.2 Slash, 75.2 Puncture and 37.6 Impact. It has 25% critical chance, a 2× multiplier and 20% status chance, at a listed speed of about 1.08. Blocking angle is 90 degrees, range 2.5, follow-through 0.7 and combo duration 5 seconds. The sword-and-shield description says it excels at charging into enemy fire, but no damage reduction or other shield effect is specified.
Investment and fit
Centaur requires mastery rank 8, reaches rank 30 and has one Madurai polarity. Components include a blueprint, blade, handle and aegis, with a listed build price and time; those inputs do not say where to acquire the parts.
Alternatives
Veritux and Agkuza each list 5% critical chance and a 1.5× multiplier, below Centaur's listed 25% and 2×. These are stat comparisons, not complete performance rankings.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The listed shield theme does not come with a specified defensive effect in these details.
- Mastery requirement 8 is higher than the listed Veritux and Agkuza requirements.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not assume the shield description grants damage reduction; no such value or effect is supplied.
- Do not treat the 376 total normal-attack damage as entirely Slash.
