Tips

• Centaur can utilize  Tempered Blade to greatly increase its critical chance up to 62.5%, providing an additional 30% overall DPS.
• Blocking with melee will grant knockdown protection against obstacles, allowing for smoother flight. Alternatively, performing a slide/dash attack will allow passage through obstacles without slowing down.

Trivia

The Centaur Leak during Update 15.6.1.

• A Centaur is a mythological creature that is half-human, half-horse.
  • Incidentally, there is a species of Rhinoceros beetle called the Centaurus beetle. The Centaur's blade resembles a Rhinoceros beetle's characteristic horn while the body of the weapon resembles the beetle's head.
• The Centaur (along with the  Fluctus and the Itzal) was accidentally leaked in Hotfix 15.6.1, where a bundle called the "Itzal Raider Pack" visually replaced the Stealth Pack in the Market. The Stealth Bundle still functioned as normal however.
