Tier 4 Arena Challenges

[Apoca1ypse]

This tier begins introducing you to opponents with thoroughly obscene health. if you have info that could help other, I'll add it in

Kudos go to Riggen who collected nearly all of this data post update (which had rendered the old info useless)

Grendle

Trug War Gladiator

104 Strength
85 Intellect
84 Agility
80 Stamina
125 Size
69 Presence
81 Chi

He's level 35 and has 1495 Health and 48 Endurance

Gear:
He wields a single one-handed epic battleaxe that seems to swing a lot. He wears light armor on his shield arm and back leg. medium armor on his head, chest and front leg, heavy armor on his weapon arm.

Fighting Style:
He attacks pretty often, quite hard too, I think he's simply set to Bash. I've only seen him use Feint.

Beating him:
Ragers can simply target his back leg and rip him apart, war gladiators can EASILY and I mean, REALLY easily scum him down, set to tank and just wait till he drops, his endurance is pathetic. Theatrics can probably exhaust him as well with a defensive tactic, otherwise, aim for the back leg and rely on Gratuitous Violence and Brute Force to really dig into him, If you rank up Called Shot, many of your hits will hit his back leg, making for an easier time.

Mystere

Elaar Theatrics Gladiator

85 Strength
81 Intellect
112 Agility
95 Stamina
90 Size
87 Presence
107 Chi

He's level 35 and has 924 Health and 95 Endurance

Gear:
He wields a blue trident and a tower shield. All of his armor is medium but arms are the weakest point.

Fighting Style:
He's most likely a defensive fighter, I've seen him use Signature Move. I assume he's set to counter-attack or perhaps parry, as his damage is pretty low.

Beating Him:
For a defensive gladiator, he's got pretty low health, being an elaar and all. War gladiators should have no problem whatsoever with this one. Ragers can simply overpower him. Other theatrics might be in a tight spot, however, simply aiming for his arms and relying on outdamaging him can definitely work. Overall he's pretty easy.

Gorin The Drunk

Dunder Rage Gladiator

98 Strength
54 Intellect
74 Agility
91 Stamina
92 Size
82 Presence
68 Chi

He's level 36 and has 1120 Health and 91 Endurance

Gear:
He wields a blue one handed battle axe and an epic one handed morning star. He wears a white helm, epic chest, white shield arm, blue weapon arm, blue front leg and green back leg, all of his armor is light, of course.

Fighting Style
He's likely set to berserk, he hits REALLY. FREAKING. HARD. and uses Feint and Sunder Armor. He's also pretty damned fast for a drunk dunder.

Beating him:
Aim for his head or back leg. Only chance for ragers is to outswing the bearded monster, which may prove easier for dual wielders. War gladiators may get heavily boned in here as well, I assume Create Distance, Warcry and Hamstring are great assets here. Theatrics has the better chance as they can pretty much faceroll this guy with high speed weapons and grat. violence

The Snivler

Snivler Theatrics Gladiator

85 Strength
65 Intellect
127 Agility
69 Stamina
80 Size
100 Presence
87 Chi

He's level 36 and has 693 Health and 69 Endurance.

Gear:
He dual-wields a pair of blue falchions and wears a blue head, green chest, epic weapon arm, green shield arm, white back leg and green front leg. All of his armor is light.

Fighting Style:
He's not as fast as you'd expect, and his damage is actually kinda low. He deals a decent amount of bleed, but most people should have no trouble with him (ress sickness two hand rager beat him with his fists). I've only seen him use Strength of the Crowd.

Beating him:
I believe ANYTHING should be able to beat him. His damage is low, his health is abysmall, he wears light armor and has low endurance. You can scum him out easily with a tank or just break him in half with any kind of offensive glad.

Styx

Unknown Rage Gladiator

140 Strength
62 Intellect
71 Agility
91 Stamina
200 Size (what the actual fuck?)
96 Presence
80 Chi

He's level 37 and has 1868 Health and 91 Endurance

Gear:
He dual wields a pair of blue one-handed axes. He wears a blue helm, epic chest, epic arms, blue legs. All of his armor is light.

Fighting Style:
He attacks really fast and REALLY. FUCKING. HARD. He uses Feint and Sunder Armor.

Beating Him:
Pray to your favourite gods to smite him. He hits hard and has stupid HP. theatrics can try and bleed the bejesus out of him. rage will just have to out swing him and hope for some bombs, and wars will be unable to tank against this monster. Most of the tier will seem easy once your past him.

Sidewinder



Tribal

Human Rage Gladiator

109 Strength
75 Intellect
112 Agility
92 Stamina
85 Size
79 Presence
99 Chi

Gear:
He wields an epic one handed sword and a green rapier. He wears a blue helm, blue chest, blue shield arm, blue back leg, epic weapon arm and epic front leg. All of it light, of course.

Fighting Style:
He's not a very fast attacker, he uses Barreling Attack and Death from Above. He also seems to be a fan of wimpy damage.

Beating him:
This guy should be food for mostly anything, weak overall, target shield arm or back leg for best results.

Snitch The Rat

Snivler Theatrics Gladiator

76 Strength
61 Intellect
144 Agility
99 Stamina
72 Size
101 Presence
67 Chi

He's level 38 and has 845 Health and 99 Endurance.

Gear:
He wields a blue one handed falchion and a blue kriss. He wears an epic helm, epic chest, epic back leg, blue front leg and blue arms, all of his armour is medium.

Fighting Style:
I haven't seen him proc any skills and he was quite slow for a snivler theatrics. His damage was decent.

Beating him:
His low health paired with his rather slow initiative should make him an easy target for most gladiators. Target his arms and swing away. If you have a 2H rage, see if you can 1-shot him with rampage

Necropolis

Human War Gladiator

100 Strength
70 Intellect
93 Agility
85 Stamina
95 Size
75 Presence
73 Chi

He's level 39 and has 1186 Health and 85 Endurance.

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

Fighting Style:
Set to tank and then parry or bash once you're tired. This thing is a defensive monster.
He uses Create Distance and Never Say Die.

Beating him:
Any defensive war should outlast him by stacking stamina. His endurance isn't THAT great. Theatrics can try to slowly bleed him if they can sneak in attacks. Berserking against him just won't work though unless you get lucky. low activity killshot may be your ticket though. just make sure to aim for the legs.

Stonez

Human War Gladiator

119 Strength
81 Intellect
94 Agility
107 Stamina
135 Size
67 Presence
89 Chi

He's level 40 and has 1617 Health and 107 Endurance

Gear:
He wields an epic two handed battle flail. He wears a blue helmet, an epic chest, epic weapon arm, blue shield arm, epic front leg and blue back leg. All of his armour is heavy.

Fighting Style:
I can't tell a whole lot about his style from the fight I just had. I haven't seen him proc any skills. His initiative is quite low and so is his speed. His hits are pretty strong however and he is quite tanky. I believe he may be set to a simple bash strategy o.O

Beating Him:
For rage gladiators he is rather easy. just set to berserk and swing away. Theatrics and other wars MAY have issues with him, as he's very tanky, and has high endurance. I believe being defensive against him might be very hard, unless you stack mountains of stamina, wear heavy armour and are great at scumming people overall. For offensive warriors I guess Never Say Die and Create Distance will help, as he attacks very rarely (considering these skills proc when you're offensive). For theatrics, I can only hope they can get there with bleeds, otherwise this guy might be kinda hard.
