CODEX

Part sword, part shield, the Centaur excels at charging headlong into enemy fire.

The Centaur is an Archwing based melee that also acts as a shield, which shares its own basic six-hit combo with Rathbone, but also possesses its own six-hit combo when used in quick melee.

Weapon Loadouts

Main article: Category:Centaur Build

See the user build section for builds using this weapon.

Tips

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

Bugs

• The Centaur is currently not indicated as an Archwing weapon in the Market.

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 Update 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.
