Centaur warrior

Useful Info

Centaur warriors fight using the same tactics as standard centaurs, but are an order of magnitude more dangerous. They have enough HP to take a few hits, and can easily deal over 30 damage per shot. They can be found in the mid-late Dungeon (usually accompanied by lesser centaurs) and the Vaults (in large packs of warriors).

As an enemy with the archer flag, centaurs warriors deal up to 13 extra damage with ranged weapons.

Tips & Tricks

• They're gruesome at range, so lure them into melee to remove their biggest advantage. Take advantage of corners, confuse them, or use other tricks to make this less suicidal.
• Repulsion can be a lifesaver for fragile characters here, if you have it.

History

• Prior to 0.27, centaur warriors did not have a kick attack in melee.

Unlike regular centaurs, their ranged damage wasn't reduced between versions. So due to the removal of monster weapon penalties in 0.27, centaur warriors became more dangerous.
