Centaur's charge and her Point Blank shots are classified as a melee attacks so when set up correctly against gallant defense the attack should still hit. However when used again'st gallant the mechanic classifies it as neither ranged or melee for if it was ranged it would attack contessa but since it's not it should attack the target.
Me and my friends tested this out in a controlled environment and came to this conclusion. I have made a sepearate thread on central with a video showing us replicating this and showing how it works.
To Ratbeard can you confirm how this interaction is supposed to work? given how useful contessa is and the popularity of Nausica.
