i am new here.

[Apoca1ypse]

Welcome to the game.

If you have any questions, please ask :) we're always happy to help out new players :)

[jandra047]

Hi, I'm also new. I don't know where to ask so I will try here.
I made a Theatric gladiator and it's now level 7. In the beginning I was winning all the time but now it seems like I'm worse than everyone. I don't know why is that. How to choose the best fight strategy? What attacks to upgrade (do I upgrade war and rage attacks also)? Also, why do I always loose from exhaustion. I would be very grateful for any tip that helps me.
Thanks!

[Hypro]

dude the guide offers me no help against skull reaver the thing owns me everytime its currently the only arena challenge that has actually been a challenge any help i know its supposed to be difficult for 2H glads to kill the guy but any help will be appreciated

[kagewolfe]

Dose the progress for the Arena Challenge reset when the coast resets?

[Apoca1ypse]

no. once you beat an arena challenge, you have beaten it for good :)

[Apoca1ypse]

Updated to include Cyn's guide.

[HeMaTra]

what is the maximum lvl of glads?

[Narol]

Max Level is 50 currently, I don't know if there is plans to raise it in future updates.

D'oh, already answered, didn't see page 2...

[Apoca1ypse]

Updated to include Prinny's war guide. I've also added notes to indicate if a guide is up to date or not.

Edit: I like it :)

[Arx Fatalis]

Quick question that I'm sure will benefit others who are new to the game besides myself. First how viable is it to keep a gladiator out of arena fights and just do tavern missions to train them to a point were the owner is comfortable with their skills? Second ; Does training your gladiators base stats count toward the 100 skill point total limit?
Thank you for your time.

[Alba Kebab]

You can only do so many tavern missions before you have to fight in the arena, ie. you can't go on tavern missions forever without fighting in the arena.
Stat trains don't count towards total skills.

[Apoca1ypse]

Derp, just realised that I never added a link to SOTC's guide. That has been amended now.

Best of luck to all those aspiring theatrics glads :)

[Apoca1ypse]

Updated to include Adoede's guide
