Centurioin is the worst joke hero at high lvls... | Forums

[The_B0G_]

He needs more moves, after seeing that new female warrior for the new faction I had an idea for Centurion, the same way she traps weapons, maybe he could too, but it would lead to melee moves and take downs, but he would lose his cut scene and charged punch, and take downs would be quick and last no longer than most heroes parry punishes, a quick leg sweep takedown or hip toss followed by light damage punish with stamina drain.

Have something like, trap weapon leads to elbow in the face that wall splats to one side (remember that with this idea his cutscene combo is gone, so wall splats only get a heavy) or have another punish that comes from weapon trap that you hip toss followed by a jab, you could even make one with a headbutt that stuns.

I think playing with that idea, they might be able to make him viable again.

They could start by giving him a proper sword instead of that fish slice and what's with that hat? Does he clean toilets in his spare time or something?

Lol The gladius was the sword Roman soldiers used, it only seems ridiculous because it was meant for short stabbing motions from behind a large shield while in formation, where longer swords would be encumbering and hard to use.

I agree used alone it's not effective though, besides the fact he has pretty heavy armor compared to everyone else which would make him a handful in real life.

...BECAUSE HE'S SO SLOW.

You really think Cent is slow? This is a guy whose heavies come out fast enough to interrupt many attacks, whose heavies are quick enough to output on a heavy parry. His kick and charged attacks are slower yes, but with good reason. Cent is already a stamina vampire, he doesn't need anymore help in that regard. While he may not have the greatest range, he is anything but slow.

Its actually a longish sword for its day... its just you know... older than the bible.

Easiest is to remove knockdown from bash, make it feint able but only guarantee a light, and then give him a 'next light after a blocked heavy is unblock-able' to allows him to maintain pressure without the risk of that silly amount of wallspat combo damage

Well there you go then. No wonder he sucks! I bet it's as blunt as a hammer. Somebody buy him a new sword already, jeez.

I looked up Roman Cavalry swords for something a little longer and found the Spatha, which actually did replace the Gladius for everyone besides light infantry from the start of the 1st century up until the 6th.

I could never see them changing a characters weapon but from the looks of it, it's the same besides the length of the blade. I still think the Gladius suits his play style better though.

[DefiledDragon]

That looks like Warlord's sword.

I'm fine with his Gladius and I'm aware of its historical significance. I was just trying to be funny.

[yfkutfui]

its funny how people perceive things so differently isn't it? I guess I'm not high level as the Centurion is a total nightmare for me, I absolutely hate fighting them and always struggle against them and usually end up getting beat, this feint into GB/wall splat wrecking thing gets me every time, I've literally let myself get cut down by consecutive lights as I'm just waiting to counter guard break,so frightened by wall splat am I?

[johansans]

One thing I would like to see added to Cent's moveset is the ability for charged jab to track or cancel into GB like Warden's SB, but reduce the stamina drain as it would make him too dangerous. The leaping stab shouldn't be removed as the damage is still less than Warden's top heavy which he gets after a successful charged SB. Cent's feints are also way too slow, it would be nice if it was more in line with other heroes.

I still can't let Season 2 go.
The tears of a Centurion, main or not, are the greatest elixir.
I bottle them, because I know the weeping won't last forever... unfortunately.
