The Arena – the heart of the game
The Arena in Gladiatus is set in Rome and is considered one of the main attractions of the game. Each country has its own arena, but they are all connected – so you face opponents from your league on both your own server and foreign servers.
Four arena modes for different playstyles
- Arena: Ranked 1v1 fights on your own server. Automatically unlocked from level 2.
- Provinciarum Arena: Random 1v1 fights across multiple servers. Optional from level 2.
- Circus Turma: Ranked team fights with 1–5 fighters per team on your own server. From level 10.
- Circus Provinciarum: Random team fights across multiple servers. Also from level 10.
League System: From circus fighter to god
Players are divided into leagues by level. The league determines the level of possible opponents and the hourly gold reward for the top rank.
| Level | League |
|---|---|
| 2–9 | League of the Circus Fighters |
| 10–19 | League of the Show Fights |
| 20–29 | League of the Butchers |
| 30–39 | League of the Pit Fighters |
| 40–49 | League of the Warriors |
| 50–59 | League of the Gladiators |
| 60–69 | League of the Duel Fighters |
| 70–79 | League of the Veterans |
| 80–89 | League of the grace of the Legends |
| 90–100 | League of the grace of the Gods I |
| 100+ | League of the grace of the Gods II |
To advance, you must defeat higher-ranked opponents. You can attack players in your own ranking area (three places above you or two below) as well as the top 5 of your league.
Rewards: Fame, experience and gold
There are three types of rewards in the arena – item drops are not available in PvP fights.
Experience (Exp)
You gain experience in every fight – whether you win or lose. Even if you are attacked offline, you gain experience. If you attack someone five levels below you, you don't gain experience. Those holding the top position receive additional hourly experience.
Fame
Fame is only available in the Provinciarum Arena – and only when you defeat an opponent who is at least two levels higher than you. The listed opponents come from random other servers and change daily.
Gold
Three paths lead to gold: plundering opponents, holding the top rank (hourly payout, capped depending on league) or toppling the top player and collecting the accumulated "pot" (bounty). The higher the league, the faster the pot grows.
Your Gladiator: Equipment, weapons and advancement
Each player controls their own gladiator. At the start you receive a short sword (damage 2–2), a wooden shield (+40 armour) plus provisions such as apple, bread and fish for healing. As you level up, new faces and character options are unlocked (e.g. at level 5, 10, 20, 30 and continuing to level 80).
Weapons with colour system
Item quality is indicated by colour – from weak to strong: White (standard), Green, Blue, Purple, Orange. Weapons can also carry prefixes (e.g. "Lucius Sword") and suffixes (e.g. "Sword of Pain") that modify values such as strength, agility or critical hit chance.
Upgrades with Magus Hermeticus
From level 10 onwards you can improve the colour quality of your weapons with Magus Hermeticus – payable with gold and/or rubies. With gold, a maximum success rate of 25% is possible; for full 100% rubies are needed. There is no refund on failure.
