Player guide
Prepare for the sand
You prepare the gladiator; the server simulates the fight. Players never issue attacks during battle. Victory starts with understanding what your equipment actually changes.
What every stat does
Displayed values use the same rules as combat. Percentages shown in the manager are your equipment-based values; the fixed combat stance is applied during the fight where noted.
Core attributes
The four foundations of every gladiator. Equipment can raise all of them.
Agility
Helps you connect with attacks while making you harder to hit and easier to dodge.
Each point adds 1.5% hit chance and 0.8% dodge chance, while reducing the enemy's hit chance by 1.2%.
Endurance
Raises the amount of punishment your gladiator can survive.
Each point adds 8 maximum health.
Defense
Reduces incoming physical damage before a block is applied.
Each point removes 0.75 damage from a hit before blocking.
Offense
These values decide how reliably and how heavily your gladiator threatens an opponent.
Attack Power
The damage of an ordinary non-critical hit before enemy mitigation.
Damage + (1.25 × Strength) + 1.5 from the fixed combat stance.
Damage
Flat weapon and item damage included directly in Attack Power.
Each point adds 1 Attack Power.
Critical Chance
The equipment-based chance for a successful hit to deal critical damage.
Critical hits deal 1.65× damage. The fixed combat stance adds 1% to the displayed equipment chance.
Survival
These values keep your gladiator standing through direct mitigation, blocks, and health.
Armor
Soaks physical damage from every successful enemy hit.
Each point removes 0.6 damage from a hit before blocking.
Block Chance
The equipment-based chance to soften a successful incoming hit.
A block reduces damage by 45%. The fixed combat stance adds 2.1% to the displayed equipment chance.
Max Health
The total health your gladiator brings into each battle.
50 + (5 × level) + (8 × Endurance).
Reading your equipment
Items combine a definition’s base values with four rolled modifiers. Item level and modifier budget describe different parts of the item.
Item level
Each item level above 1 raises that item's base Damage or Armor by 10% of the definition's base value. Modifiers do not scale with item level.
Modifier budget
Current items distribute 100 normalized budget points across four modifiers. The budget measures affix allocation, not total item strength.
Base stats and modifiers
Base Damage, Armor, and attributes come from the item definition. Four rolled modifiers add a separate mix of combat stats.
Compare equipment
Use Compare in the inventory to preview server-computed effective stats for that exact swap. It is more useful than a universal gear score.
Why there is no universal gear score
A point of offense and a point of survival solve different problems, and a shield cannot be judged like a weapon. Equal modifier budgets can also distribute their points very differently. Use Compare for the server-computed result of the exact swap.
Choose a hand style
Each legal hand setup spends its two hand slots differently. There is no single best answer for every opponent or modifier roll.
One-handed weapon
Flexible weapons that can sit in either hand and leave room for another choice.
Dual wield
The off-hand weapon contributes 50% of its base damage but keeps all of its attributes and modifiers.
Two-handed weapon
Locks both hands. Its attributes and modifiers count 2× because it consumes two slots, while its definition carries concentrated base damage.
Weapon and shield
Trades a second weapon's offense for shield Armor, Defense, block potential, and modifiers.
A starting direction
These are foundations, not rigid classes. Your actual modifier rolls and equipment comparison should decide the final loadout.
Offensive
Favor Attack Power, Strength, Damage, Agility, and Critical Chance. Two-handed or dual-wield loadouts lean into pressure.
Defensive
Favor Endurance, Defense, Armor, and Block Chance. A weapon and shield build is the clearest defensive foundation.
Balanced
Keep enough Attack Power to threaten opponents while adding survivability. Compare each swap instead of chasing one displayed number.
