Solving the "Obselete Gladiator"-problem.

[Dainoji]

I disagree. Thunder Lips is one of the oldest glads in the game, she's a non-HoL and her base stats are all in the 60s with a couple of high 50s. She probably cost somewhere in the 800 range. Terrible by any standard yet she consistently performs competitively in Blood Gods, usually winning around 55%-65% of her fights. She flirts with the top 10 from time to time and has placed within it a number of times. She'll likely never be #1 but she's still fun to manage and competitive and anything but "obsolete". I understand for some that won't be enough, for those who are interested in just having fun and being competitive, focus your energy more on your build and strategy and you'll be good.
