— The archetype's tagline in promotional material[1]

"Centurion" (センチュリオン Senchurion) is an archetype introduced in Deck Build Pack: Valiant Smashers.

Design

The archetype's design seems to be inspired from various mecha anime produced by Gainax and its successor Studio Trigger. In particular Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and Darling in the Franxx.

Etymology

The name of the theme likely derives from those of real-life Roman centurions, or commanders of a group of 100 men known as a "century". Each "Centurion" monsters have the key katagana applied over their individual kanji names, which denote their "rank" within the theme.

Playing style

"Centurion" is a Synchro theme focused on placing monsters in the Spell & Trap Zone as Continuous Trap Cards and quickly Synchro Summoning various Level 8 and 12 Synchro Monsters, including their Level 12 Synchro Monster, "Centurion Legatia".

All Main Deck monsters can Special Summon themselves while in the Spell & Trap Zone. Since their effects treat them as Continuous Traps, they can also Summon themselves during the opponent's turn. Combined with "Stand-Up Centurion!", the archetype's Field Spell, they can perform Synchro Summons to interrupt the opponent's plays during their own turn.
