Gladiator Build Guide

Kill-Streak DPS Tank (Glory-unlocked)

The Gladiator blends Warrior survivability with kill-triggered offensive scaling. Crowd's Favour grants +35% ATK after each kill, refreshing with additional kills. Kill streaks compound rapidly. Base STR 16 and TOU 15 maintain frontline durability. Unlocked via Glory from the Colosseum.

Ability Score Allocation Priority

Strength (ATK amplified by Crowd's Favour), Toughness (DEF), Vitality (HP to survive until the first kill triggers the buff). AGI 8 already hits the 3-second tier — minimal AGI investment needed.

See the Ability Scores & Stats reference for the full conversion formulas.

Base Ability: Crowd's Favour

Rallies the crowd — grants +35% ATK for 6 ticks. Kills refresh the buff for an additional 4 ticks.

Subclass Comparison

Pit Fighter for aggressive DPS — reuses Crowd's Favour with passive combat augmentation. Iron Titan as a tank — Iron Stance taunts all enemies AND reduces every incoming hit by 5 flat damage.

SubclassStat BonusAbilityIdentity
Pit Fighter +2 Toughness, +1 Vitality Base ability Thorns fighter — reflects 30% of incoming damage back at the attacker.
Iron Titan +3 Toughness Iron Stance Immovable wall — stance taunts all enemies and a passive reduces all incoming damage.

Skill Tree Routing

Offense cluster (Berserker's Resolve, Executioner, War Machine) for DPS Gladiator. Defense cluster (Living Fortress, Iron Wall) for Iron Titan tank variant. Vitality (Juggernaut) universally useful.

See the full Skill Tree reference for prerequisites and exact node descriptions.

Farming Recommendation

Blood Colosseum (thematically fitting + top-tier physical gear); Eternal Warfront for variety.
