Gladiator

WARNING! This article contains spoilers.

The is one of the Characters in For The King. She can be unlocked in the Lost Civilization DLC.

Description
From years of seeking glory and surviving Fahrul's deadly arenas, the Gladiator has learned that above all else, offense is the best defense. The Gladiator is a highly agile and strong melee warrior that has grown accustomed to entertaining the crowd.

Strategy

 * Much like the Hunter, the Gladiator has high speed, often allowing her initiative in battle. This can be used to quickly dispatch weaker enemies or to inflict debuffs on enemies before they can do anything in return.
 * The Gladiator is built with Strength and Awareness in mind. Due to this, they are rather flexible between spears, swords, hammers, and axes.


 * She starts with two weapons: dual wielded Pugios and a Worn Trident along with a Wooden Parma. This could be used to change out weapon builds before heading into encounters for more defense or more speed.

Unlocking the Gladiator
In the Lost Civilization game mode, players will encounter the Warrior's Arena during their main quest. After completing this arena, you must choose the Parched Waste route. Beating this arena also unlocks the Local Arena in your Lore Store for 8 Lore to fight arenas in other campaigns. The arena to unlock the Gladiator will spawn after visiting Hasta as part of your main quest. You must then fight through the arena and beat the Champion to unlock the Gladiator in the Lore Store. You can purchase her for 15 Lore and use her for future runs.



Trivia
The Pugios and Worn Trident that the Gladiator starts with implies that the Gladiator is a Retiarius. Despite this, she also starts with a Wooden Parma and as the Champion is shown with a distinctive Thracian helmet, equipment usually given to a Thraex.

The Local Arena in the Lore Store is unrelated and simply adds a random encounter.

The Gladiator was previously teased as a possible Dead Adventurer you could randomly encounter.
