Gladiator Subclass
The Gladiator is the Warrior's subclass in Remixed Dungeon. This mastery path focuses on sustained melee combat and building devastating attack combos.
Unlocking
The Gladiator subclass can be unlocked by using a Tome of Mastery after defeating the second boss (Tengu). The Tome of Mastery is typically obtained by defeating the second boss (Tengu) in the dungeon.
Special Mechanics
A successful attack with a melee weapon allows the Gladiator to start a combo. After 2 successful consecutive hits (for a total of 3), each additional hit increases damage by an additional 20% (the damage bonus increases linearly with hit count). The combo is broken if a hit misses or if the Gladiator takes damage.
- Damage Bonus Formula: (hit count - 2) / 5, meaning:
- 3rd hit: 20% damage bonus
- 4th hit: 40% damage bonus
- 5th hit: 60% damage bonus
- And so on…
Special Armor
Using an Armor Kit on any armor will transform it into the Gladiator Armor, which is specifically designed for this subclass. This armor provides special abilities that synergize with the Gladiator's combat style.
Advantages
- Can build devastating combos with melee weapons
- After 3 successful hits, damage increases by 20% per additional hit
- Effective for sustained melee combat
- Synergizes well with high-durability weapons that can withstand prolonged use
Disadvantages
- Requires consecutive hits to be effective
- Combo is broken if a hit misses or if the Gladiator takes damage
- Less effective against highly evasive enemies
- Requires careful positioning to maintain combo streaks
Strategy
- Focus on melee weapons with good durability to maintain combo potential
- Target enemies that are less likely to dodge your attacks
- Use the combo system to take down powerful enemies efficiently
- Consider using armor or items that prevent combo breakage
- Position carefully to avoid taking damage that would break your combo

Note about Page Naming
This page follows the current wiki convention for hero subclass pages using the `_subclass` suffix. If you arrived here from an old link, please note that hero subclass pages now use the format `subclass_name_subclass.txt` (e.g., `gladiator_subclass.txt`, `berserker_subclass.txt`) instead of just `subclass_name.txt`.
