Gladiator

The Gladiator is a class in Enigma. A Special class, its mastered form is called the Champion.

Obtaining the Class
When you go to The Arena, you are approached by a person clad in armour. The armoured person asks you if you are going to participate in the competition hosted at the arena. The armoured person scoffs at your answer and says that you have no chance of winning, especially when fighting him/her. You decide to enter the competition, not only for training purposes, but also to defeat the person in the armour.

After entering the competition, you quickly rise through the rankings, defeating many powerful opponents, but you aren't surprised to see that the armoured person from before, who will be your final opponent. The person approaches you from behind and tells you that if you beat him/her, s/he will share a secret with you. You fight him/her and as you do, you manage to knock off his/her helmet, revealing a long-haired person from within. The person hides his/her face to conceal his/her identity, before running to his/her helmet.

You can run to the helmet and keep the person from obtaining it. If you do, the person has no choice but to reveal his/her identity, that of a feminine-looking man (he, however, has a deep voice). The man decides to fight you full-on, without any secrets holding him (or you) back. The second phase of the fight begins, and whether you win or lose, you are approached by the man after the match. He tells you his name, Lucius, and after realizing your potential (and after telling you his backstory), decides to teach you how to become a Gladiator.

Appearance
The Gladiator wears a gray suit of plated armour. The helmet is shaped like a cylinder, with a single opening over the eyes and the armour covers the entire body - leather gloves with steel tips on the knuckles, steel boots and a steel suit with a black cape. The Gladiator's weapons are kept on his/her back, hidden by the cape.

The only differences between the outfits for the male and female Gladiator are in the design of the helmet and the torso area (where the chest area is increased, to accommodate the female Gladiator).

Pros

 * The highest (in terms of hits) and fastest (in terms of collective hit speed) combo rate in the game (not including Special or Mastered jobs)
 * High Strength and Speed
 * A fantastic class from range and at close combat, making the Gladiator a versatile class

Cons

 * Really low Defense and Magic Defense stats
 * The Gladiator has a certain rhythm to it and if that rhythm is broken, the Gladiator will be vulnerable until it retracts its blades and restarts its combo
