Start with a strong greatsword and the highest item-level armor you can use, then tune sub-stats around Attack, Critical, Damage Boost.
Gladiator should keep uptime high and save burst/control windows for priority targets instead of wasting cooldowns into downtime.
Inside the party, the Gladiator fills the DPS / Bruiser slot — your team relies on this kit for that responsibility.
Greatsword is the signature pick — most builds are designed around it.
No — there's no faction restriction. Pick this class as Elyos or as Asmodian, your call.
Around 35 skills in total: 25 actives you cast in combat and 10 passives that always run in the background.
The kit performs in both, but its identity tilts toward the role above — meta picks usually fit dungeons and raids with that focus.
It depends on how comfortable you are managing cooldowns and positioning. Players new to the role should expect a learning curve; the payoff is significant once it clicks.
Start from your gear, then layer upgrades, Soul Binding choices and account systems into one setup.
