Assessment

Gladiator is a strong offensive class with a high double attack rate and powerful skills. Unique to the class is its ability to equip an auxiliary weaponA sabre or katana of the same element as the main weapon equipped in the top-left slot of the sub weapon section, which boosts certain skills, including damaging skills that could rival the Hermit and Sidewinder.

The following skills are assessed below:

•  Blade SwapGain Blade SwapNext charge attack switches to the auxiliary weapon's charge attack (Can't be removed)
  Duration: 1 turn and C.A. DMG Up (1 time)Charge attack DMG is boosted (1 time)
  Duration: 1 turn .
  (Can only be used when an auxiliary weaponA sabre or katana of the same element as the main weapon equipped in the top-left slot of the sub weapon section is equipped.): Perhaps the most situational class skill in the game, due to its requirements and lasting only for a single turn. Its main purpose is the ability to use the auxiliary weaponA sabre or katana of the same element as the main weapon equipped in the top-left slot of the sub weapon section's charge attack, which can potentially bring a different set of utility for the party.
•  Twin Coil2-hit, 200% elemental damage to all foes (Damage cap: ~415,000 per hit).: A fairly straightforward nuke. It has one of the highest damage cap among class skills, but its low base damage requires players to have an advanced weapon grid and a specific setup to reach it.
•  Decimate5-hit, 100% superior elemental damage to a foe (Damage cap: ~81,000 per hit).
  When an auxiliary weaponA sabre or katana of the same element as the main weapon equipped in the top-left slot of the sub weapon section is equipped: Number of hits doubles to 10.: Another fairly straightforward nuke which is prized for its ability to always hit foes with superior element. It becomes even more powerful with an auxiliary weaponA sabre or katana of the same element as the main weapon equipped in the top-left slot of the sub weapon section. Useful to bring against multiple enemies with different elements. However, note that by changing its element, it may not be affected by certain weapon skills or summon auras that affect only a particular element, such as Seraphic Weapons. Very useful for certain fights that require you to hit the enemy a certain amount of times in a single turn, and provides great value with Supplemental Damage.
