Centurion

Description

The Centurion is an Act II monster who fights alongside the Mystic. Its moves include alternating between strong single attacks or defending depending on whether the Mystic is alive. If the Mystic is defeated, the Centurion shifts into a more aggressive form, replacing its defend move with a multi‑hit Fury. Strategic targeting (deciding whether to kill Mystic first) is its major decision point.

Tips

• Beware the Fury move once Mystic is gone; its multi‑hit damage can punish weak defenses.

Trivia

Centurion has more modest attacks when the Mystic is alive, using Slash & Defend. When the Mystic dies, Centurion shifts to using Fury (three attacks) instead of Defend. ([Slay the Spire Wiki]) :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
