A character requires mastering both the [[Warrior]] and [[Martial Artist]] vocations to become a Gladiator. A unique trait of gladiators is their ability to brush-off an attack, essentially being an additional evasion boost that goes up along with their rank. The formula is: 1 = 1/256, 2 = 1/64, 3 = 1/48, 4 = 1/32, 5 = 1/16, 6 = 1/16, 7=1/16, 8 = 1/8 | ||

Gladiators can wield [[Sword]]s, [[Axe]]s, and [[Hammer]]s as weapons. The main selling point of Gladiators is their extremely high [[Attack]], allowing for powerful strikes. However, their [[Defense]] is lower than that of the other melee classes, and many of their best abilities will either lower their Defense further or deal recoil damage. Fortunately, they can equip the heavier armor that [[Warrior]]s and [[Paladin]]s wear, but are unable to equip a shield without investing 100 skill points into the Shield skill line while in another vocation. | Gladiators can wield [[Sword]]s, [[Axe]]s, and [[Hammer]]s as weapons.

This is balanced by the fact that Gladiators suffer from comparatively lower HP, MP, and Resilience. However, Gladiators also have more Agility and Deftness, as well as a negligible lead in Charm (only a single point; Warriors have a base 89 Charm at level 99 while Gladiators have 90). | ||
In battle, Gladiators will usually be the target of initial Attack-boosting spells such as [[Oomph]], and will typically attack every turn if able. For maximum damage, Gladiators can equip the [[Über Falcon Blade]] and repeatedly use [[Falcon Slash]] to deal immense single-target damage, which makes sword-wielding Gladiators highly valuable in boss battles. | In battle, Gladiators will usually be the target of initial Attack-boosting spells such as [[Oomph]], and will typically attack every turn if able.
