==Behavior==
Gladiators often choose to wait instead of acting immediately when it's their turn. They will use [[Footwork (Skill)|Footwork]] to get close to someone vulnerable and attack him.

==Tips==
* In the early game the arena offers you a fight with two Gladiators. Don't take it unless you know what you are doing. They are not early game enemies.
* [[Nimble]] make them quite tough, but its value drops with heavier armor.
* They can have a wide variety of equipment. Be ready for everything.
** With two-handed weapons they can deal high damage, and with a [[Shields|shield]] can be hard to hit.
** Head can be well-protected or unprotected.
** [[Nimble]] value varies depending on their armor weight.
** They can carry [[Throwing Net|nets]] and [[Throwing Weapons|throwing weapons]].
* They will [[Overwhelm]] you, unless you are faster, use [[Adrenaline (20 fatigue)|Adrenaline]], [[Throwing Net|nets]], [[Dazed (Status Effect)|daze]] or [[Staggered (Status Effect)|stagger]].
* [[Throwing Net|Nets]] make them easier to hit, but [[Taunt (Skill)|Taunt]] is required to prevent them from breaking free. Also they can't remove a net and attack with a 6 AP weapon on the same turn. Nets also let you strike first and do not let them [[Overwhelm]] you.
* You need good offense because they have [[Dodge]] and Overwhelm and their [[Fast Adaptation]] punishes defensive strategies.
* You need good defense to not die quickly.
* Prioritize better armed and less protected ones.
* Use [[flails]] to hit their unprotected heads.
* Helmet and medium armor may require armor piercing or anti-armor weapons to penetrate.
* They lack [[Resilient]], so poisons can be useful.
