    Tier 2 Arena Challenges

    Tier 2 is a little harder, and you face more specialised gladiators. depending on your build, you may cruise past, or struggle with certain opponents. Credit goes to Riggen for collecting all this data post update.

    Grawk Headripper

    Specialty: Rage
    Race: Trug
    HP: 904
    Endurance: 61

    76 Strength
    63 Intellect
    63 Agility
    101 Stamina
    85 Size
    79 Presence
    67 Chi

    Gear:
    He wields a green Two-Handed axe and wears a green Helm, green Weapon Arm, green Front leg, blue Chest, white Shield Arm and white Back Leg, all of his armor is, of course, light.

    Fighting Style:
    Probably set to Kill Shot, as he's really, REALLY slow.

    Beating him:
    Beating this guy is no hard feat, mostly anyone should be able to. For best results, target back leg or shield arm. Skills like Create Distance, Gratuitous Violence help. Being a fast attacker helps even more :P His low endurance makes exhausting him an option too.

    Narcissus

    Specialty: Theatrics
    Race: Human
    HP: 814
    Endurance: 96

    75 Strength
    80 Intellect
    76 Agility
    96 Stamina
    90 Size
    85 Presence
    66 Chi

    Gear:
    This guys wields a single, One-Handed blue quality axe, wears an Medium Armor Helm, Light Armor on his arms, chest and front legs (back leg is white armour)

    Fighting Style:
    He's a very defensive gladiator, probably set to parry or counter-attack. He uses Signature Move, Hamstring, Feint and Strength of the Crowd.

    Beating him:
    Very similar to nightmare, just a lot worse. For best results, target his back leg, since it has the lowest armor. Trains in Brute Force and Feint help get past his defences. Gratuitous Violence would help here too. Rage is going to have a tough time though.

    Slavagus

    Specialty: War
    Race: Human
    HP: 845
    Endurance: 95

    89 Strength
    52 Intellect
    72 Agility
    95 Stamina
    90 Size
    67 Presence
    85 Chi

    Gear:
    He wields a green bastard sword and a blue kite shield. He wears a white heavy armor helm, green light armor hands, blue light armor chest, green heavy armor legs.

    Fighting Style:
    This guy is likely set to Parry, he's very defensive. He spams Create Distance, he also uses Feint.

    Beating Him:
    Rage glads have it easy here, and theatrics can get there with Gratuitous Violence. Other war gladiators can smack him around, to put it simply, his light armor isn't very impressive. For everyone, simply target his arms or torso.

    Ragnar Three Hits

    Specialty: Rage
    Race: Human
    HP: 898
    Endurance: 102

    95 Strength
    54 Intellect
    67 Agility
    102 Stamina
    91 Size
    70 Presence
    70 Chi

    Gear:
    He wields an epic two-handed axe. He wears a blue head, green weapon arm, white shield arm, green chest, green front leg and white back leg. All of his armour is light.

    Fighting Style:
    Very slow and probably set to killshot.

    Beating him:
    Just swing away like crazy and hope he drops before he lands a bomb. Gratuitous Violence helps a lot. Target his back leg or shield arm and smack him around!

    Tiny Avenger

    Specialty: War
    Race: Spite
    HP: 936
    Endurance: 102

    75 Strength
    70 Intellect
    96 Agility
    102 Stamina
    98 Size
    54 Presence
    60 Chi

    Gear:
    He wields an epic 2 handed greatsword. He wears a blue medium armour helmet, white medium armour weapon arm, blue light armour chest, white light armour shield arm, green light armour front leg and white light armour back leg.

    Fighting Style:
    Seems to be on a parry based strategy, however his attack rate is decent and he uses feint. his damage isnt great though.

    Beating him:
    Easy fight, go for the back leg or shield arm and smack away.

    The Beast

    Specialty: Rage
    Race: Urk
    HP: 927
    Endurance: 113

    86 Strength
    63 Intellect
    64 Agility
    98 Stamina
    90 Size
    59 Presence
    75 Chi

    Gear:
    He wields a green battle axe and a green francisca. He wears a blue helm, green chest, green arms and green legs. All of his armour is light.

    Fighting Style:
    This guy hits pretty slow and pretty weak.

    Beating Him:
    Just swing away. He shouldnt pose much trouble

    Thorgrin The Wall

    Specialty: War
    Race: Dunder
    HP: 962
    Endurance: 96

    82 Strength
    72 Intellect
    59 Agility
    96 Stamina
    95 Size
    91 Presence
    65 Chi

    Gear:
    He wields a blue one handed flail and a blue tower shield. He wears a green helm, blue chest, green weapon arm, white shield arm, green front leg and white back leg. All of his armour is heavy.

    Fighting Style:
    I believe he is strictly set to tank, however, his tanking is very very effective.

    Beating Him:
    He is very defensive, so the best way to beat him down will be either to lower your activity settings by a lot and hope to get through his defense with something like Killshot or Gratuitous Violence, or to try and outlast him by stacking stamina and going defensive as well. If you're a high enough level, Annihilate will help Ragers.

    Body Snatcher

    Specialty: Rage
    Race: Human
    HP: 1007
    Endurance: 99

    88 Strength
    96 Intellect
    62 Agility
    99 Stamina
    96 Size
    90 Presence
    75 Chi

    Gear:
    This guy wields a blue 2h maul and wears blue head, arms and chest, green front leg and white back leg. All of them are light armour.

    Fighting Style:
    He's slow as heck, but deals decent damage, meaning he is probably set to killshot or low activity bash. He uses Sunder Armour.

    Beating Him:
    Target his back leg, smack away and enjoy the free trophy. Not a hard fight at all.

    Captain Jack

    Specialty: Theatrics
    Race: Human
    HP: 1021
    Endurance: 99

    79 Strength
    74 Intellect
    95 Agility
    99 Stamina
    95 Size
    76 Presence
    73 Chi

    Gear:
    He wields a blue Falchion in his main hand and a blue Kriss in his offhand. Wears a green helm, green weapon arm, green front leg, white back leg, white shield-arm and epic chest. All of his armor is light.

    Fighting Style:
    He's a very fast attacker, he uses Signature Move and Strength of the Crowd.

    Beating Him:
    For best results, target his back leg or shield arm and simply overpower him. His damage is rather wimpy. Nonetheless, his fast strikes and high defensive power may surprise some. To counter this having one of Brute Force, Create Distance or Hamstring will help your gladiator out.

    Byrd of Prey

    Specialty: Rage
    Race: Human
    HP: 993
    Endurance: 97

    77 Strength
    61 Intellect
    110 Agility
    97 Stamina
    85 Size
    65 Presence
    89 Chi

    Gear:
    He dual-wields a pair of blue Daggers, wears a blue Helm, arms and legs, and an epic Chest. All Light Armor of course.

    Fighting Style:
    He's unbelievably fast, most likely berserking and hits rather hard, even though he wields daggers. He uses Rampage and Feint. He also appears to be hard to hit, thus, might have high defensive power.

    Beating Him:
    Speed or power rage builds have a chance to outswing him or atleast out damage him per hit as the daggers do little damage each swing. 2H rage will need to get a good rampage hit in to stand a chance. Warriors might be able to go defensive on him, and theatrics can counter-attack or such. Create Distance and hamstring will do wonders against him. Just make sure to target something other than his torso.

    Got any information on how 'The Beast' fights? He usually defeats me in 35-55 seconds with 2/3 of his health remaining.

    Hmm, I run a full offensive stable (mainly because I can't manage a defensive glad lol) and none of my glads had -too- much difficulty, he did hold them back for a few days each but if I remember correctly he wasn't too quick so I beat him with speed... With a 2H War it might take longer but just look for that lucky first round stun or knockdown.

    defensing 2H war is going to struggle againt him as it's part of the scissor/paper/rock nature of the game

    what skills do you have trained, and what strategies are you using?

    just did a bunch of fights and am up to him now. DW power rage is tough for 2H war, especially early on against a foe with Sunder Armor plus Last Stand. your best bet is to have a good Create Distance, and maybe try experimenting with Parry-X (probably bash) but I'm not sure how well that is going to help you with that build. Crow may know.

    Updated btw.

    My Skills (War tree):
    2Handed Weapon Skill X10
    Create Distance Skill X10
    Feint Skill X3
    I wear full Heavy Armour, and I have around 54000 health, with a decent green 2H mace. I use a normal strategy of aiming for his weapon arm, and defending my torso with around 4 bloodlust and 4 activity. Im level 27 now, and each day he regularly deals me a serious wound, if he fails to kill me outright in under 30 seconds, usually my character has failed to achieve more than 2 hits (scoring around 225 in total).

    Increase you activity and try to land more hits that way.
    Barreling Strike is a good skill for an offensive War and could also help.

    There is also the possibility that he is set to defend his weapon arm so that might effect your attacks as well.

    I like your skill selection kudos for going WS and CD to lvl 10 straight away

    increase activity to 5 or 6 and aim for his torso/back arm. head may also be an option to get a lucky stun.
