Centaur Warrunner
Start a reachable fight and use Stampede to bring allies in or take them out together.
First check
Can your teammates arrive after Hoof Stomp, and what is the exit if the catch fails?
Play as Centaur Warrunner
- Trade in lane around your health and wave position; standing in front is useful only if your partner can collect the space it creates.
- Coordinate a Hoof Stomp entry with the ally who supplies the next disable or damage rather than blinking into an empty formation.
- Name whether Stampede is for entry or retreat before the fight. A shared movement spell is strongest when teammates use the same window.
Play against Centaur Warrunner
- Watch the approach route of the front line and stay out of a single Hoof Stomp cluster before the fight begins.
- When Stampede is spent on entry, consider whether your team can survive the first contact and punish the missing retreat option.
- Clear the wave behind Centaur so his durability does not automatically become tower damage.
Make the lesson stick
For three Stampedes, note the call made before it, who actually moved with Centaur, and the position the team held afterward.
