The Gladiator is a tanky melee assassin that can quickly burst down enemies, leaving no room for retaliation.
The combo capabilities of the greatsword are enhanced by the spear, which adds a few extra moves in between while buffing the overall damage.
Coupled with high Health and an extremely high Hit chance, this allows weapon skill combos to hit seamlessly and provides enough margin for error if a fight goes awry.

Perception is taken next for more hit, and the leftover points are put into Dexterity for some criticals.

The deadly Greatsword burst combos are complemented by the spear's powerful buffs, and some other offensive skills are added to the mix.
Unyielding Sentinel also increases the chance of a heavy attack, ensuring that the highest damage skills, such as Guillotine Blade and Deathblow, have a higher chance of having a heavy attack damage modifier.
The leveling process can be a bit rough until level 15, as most damage-dealing skills are level-restricted until that point.
In the early game, prioritize Vicious Fury, Death Blow, and Cyclonic Fury first, and take the necessary specializations to speed up the leveling process.
The Greatsword and Spear passives are used to improve damage on burst windows and to stack some extra Hit and Health. Vital Force, Cold Warrior, and Malice Surge contribute heavily to this and should be prioritized.

The same concept applies to the greatsword mastery trees, so Destroy and Face Off are prioritized.

All defense +400. Deals damage over time equal to 0.6% of your Max Health every sec to hostile targets within a 2.5m radius. Restores Health by 20% of damage dealt to the targets. |
As a Gladiator, players often find themselves in the middle of the action and can be targeted by players to pull them away from important backline targets.
Pop this guardian to fight better, or as a deterrent while the player runs away to reset the fight.
Green Ranger Elowen is a good alternative if the player wants more CC options.

Note: If the skills icons are confusing, some of the skill icons indicated here are using their specialized variants.
These two important buffs are essential to ensuring that targets are taken down. With the attack speed buff and the heavy attack chance buff, it is imperative that these powerful buffs are cast before starting a rotation.

▶

After a target has been chosen, and the necessary buffs are applied, approach the target and start the rotation with Precision Dash to close the gap, while simultaneously binding the target.
Immediately follow with Abyssal Cleave to stun the target and cast Cyclonic Fury to get the maximum amount of Burst Stacks.
With enough attack speed, this gives the player enough time to use the 2nd cast of Precision Dash after Cyclonic Fury.
After the opponent is bound by the 2nd cast of Precision Dash, use Brutal Fury next. With enough Burst stacks, this allows the player to use Brutal Fury three times in quick succession.
It is natural for targets to flee at this point in the combo, and they are likely to have exhausted their escape skills by now. Use Devastating Smash to close the gap while stunning them, followed by a fully charged Death Blow.
Finish the rotation with the Stunning Blow, Ascending Slash, fully charged Guillotine Blade combo.

Ember stacks up to 5 times. 1 Ember stack is consumed on use.
(5x) |
This devastating combo can be used from a safe distance thanks to the long range of Death from Above.
If the player has both Archboss weapons, most backline targets are guaranteed to be taken down, as the damage is simply too much for them to take.
For lesser geared players, pulling this AoE combo off is still worth doing, as it still deals significant damage to multiple targets.
However, after Frost Cleaving, most enemies will start to heal, and this is where the combo will start to struggle as all CC options are exhausted.
Hopefully, allies will be ready to follow up with their own AoE CC skills so that all casts of Explosive Fury and Javelin Inferno can be used.
If not, adjust as needed and don't hesitate to retreat, as most important skills are on cooldown at this point.
