Gladiator

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.

General Strategy
Much like the Hunter and Trapper, the Gladiator has a high Speed stat, often allowing for the 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 is also built with Strength and Awareness in mind. Due to this, the character is rather flexible when it comes to weaponry. Additionally, starting with both a set of Dual Wields and a Polearm and Shield allows for either an offensive or defensive equipment build from the very beginning of a campaign.
