Centurion

  • ️Tue Nov 10 2015

A centurion

The centurion is a type of Nerazim warrior. They are a zealot variant available in the campaign of Legacy of the Void.[1]

It is voiced by Jamieson Price.[2]

Overview[]

Centurions serve as the backbone of the Nerazim Shadow Guard, and joined the Golden Armada for their campaign to retake Aiur.[1]

Game Unit[]

Legacy of the Void[]

The centurion's stats are identical to the base zealot, making them function as powerful melee attackers. Their key difference over the Aiur zealot and sentinel is their abilities, Shadow Charge and Darkcoil. Shadow Charge allows them to phase through enemies when charging, while Darkcoil stuns enemies around them when they attack. This makes the centurion an effective supporter in larger armies, rushing forward to stun enemies while the rest of the player's forces engage. They also benefit from being able to phase through other units to reach their targets, allowing them to quickly engage enemies even if initially caught up in a crowd.

Trivia[]

  • Historically, centurions were officers in the army of the Roman Empire.
  • Lore-wise, warp blades are more powerful than psi blades. However, despite possessing warp blades, the centurion deals the same amount of damage as the base zealot's, who has psi blades.
