Bradwarden, the Centaur Warrunner[edit]
It's said that a centaur's road is paved with the corpses of the fallen. For the one called Warrunner, it has been a long road indeed. To outsiders, the four-legged clans of Druud are often mistaken for simple, brutish creatures. Their language has no written form; their culture lacks pictographic traditions, structured music, formalized religion. For centaurs, combat is the perfect articulation of thought, the highest expression of self. If killing is an art among centaurs, then Bradwarden the Warrunner is their greatest artist. He rose to dominance on the proving grounds of Omexe, an ancient arena where centaur clans have for millennia gathered to perform their gladiatorial rights. As his fame spread, spectators came from far and wide to see the great centaur in action. Always the first to step into the arena, and the last to leave, he composes a masterpiece in each guttering spray, each thrust of blood-slickened blade-length. It is the poetry of blood on steel, flung in complex patterns across the pale sands of the killing floor.
Warrunner defeated warrior after warrior, until the arena boomed with the cheering of his name, and he found himself alone, the uncontested champion of his kind. The great belt of Omexe was bestowed, wrapped around his broad torso, but in his victory, the death-artist found only emptiness. For what is a warrior without a challenge? The great centaur galloped out of Omexe that day with a new goal. To his people, Warrunner is the greatest warrior to ever step into the arena. Now he has set out to prove he is the greatest fighter who has ever lived.
Abilities[edit]
Hoof Stomp
Centaur slams the ground with his mighty hooves, stunning and damaging nearby enemy units.
| Stun Duration: | 2/2.25/2.5/2.75 (4.25 ) |
|---|
When the mighty hoof of the Warrunner touches soil, the tremors are felt far and wide.
Double Edge
The Centaur summons a tremendous amount of inner strength and releases a powerful attack. Can only be done at melee range, and damages both Centaur and the enemy units around the target.
| Enemy/Self Damage: | 175/250/325/400 (700 ) |
|---|
In the spurs of combat, Bradwarden's vicious strikes sometimes cause self-inflicted collateral damage.
Return
Affects
Enemy Units
Buildings
Centaur Warrunner immediately counters every attack against him with a swift strike, damaging the attacker with bonus damage based on a percentage of Centaur's strength.
Grants Return to allied heroes nearby. | Bonus Strength Damage: | 30%/45%/60%/75% (45%/60%/75%/90% ) |
|---|
Bradwarden has no need to parry his opponent's attacks; his armor-like hide does it for him.
Notes
- Bonus damage is based on Centaur's strength.
- Return Aura can be carried by illusions, but illusions do not gain the effect themselves.
- Disabled by Break.
Stampede
Grants you and all allied player units on the map maximum movement speed and zero unit collision for a short duration. Any enemy units you or your allies come into collision with take some damage and get slowed. Enemies can only be affected by stampede impact once per cast.
The great belt of Omexe, which labels Bradwarden as the greatest warrior of his kind, incites his fellow gladiators to follow him into barbarous combat.
Notes
- Damage is based on Centaur's strength.
With Aghanim's Scepter, this spell destroys
trees in its path.
- Blocked by Spell Immunity.
- The buff cannot be dispelled, but the slow can.

General Strategy[edit]
Centaur Warrunner is a master of both inflicting and absorbing damage. Leading the charge into battle, he stomps to stun his enemies, and instantly counters their every attack. His stampede speeds his allies in both fight and flight, quickening the pace of the carnage.
