MajidePlaying this class
Gladiator is a starting class for physical units, adding +10 each to HP and Strength growth with no Speed bonus. To make early sword, axe, or gauntlet attacks hit harder, gain a few levels here before moving to your intended class.
Suitable characters
- Future physical units with low current Strength:
Dietrich can follow with 
Myrmidon, 
Leda with 
Brigand, and 
Jester can start here too. - Units developing swords, axes, or gauntlets first. Diviner's skill EXP favors magic; train weapons in Gladiator for a physical route.
For Dexterity and Speed, choose 
Hunter. Gladiator does not help those stats.
Training priorities
- Exam: level 5, Renown 1, and D in Axe, Gauntlet, or Sword. Train only the one your next class needs.
- Uses swords, axes, and gauntlets, but no spears or bows. A bow user cannot keep using bows after switching here.
- Growth bonuses apply through later level-ups. Reclassing does not immediately add 10 Strength.
When to move on
Mastery reward Attack Basics gives only Strength +1 and is not worth extending your stay for. Around level 20, once the next tier's skills are ready, move to Myrmidon, Brigand, or 
Pugilist for offense, then toward 
Shido or 
Warrior. Brigand gives Strength growth +15 and Speed +5, both better than Gladiator. Gladiator is a stepping stone.
