Fighting
Like Maximus in the movie “Gladiator”, your ultimate objective to survive is to please the crowd. Before mastering other moves, the first action you need to learn is blocking. In this action, you will use the shield icon at the bottom left corner of the screen. You have to tap on it in blocking and deflecting your opponent’s offense.

Successfully blocking a strong attack lowers your defense meter. The loss depends on the strength of the attacks. The stronger the attack, the more it lowers the meter. You will not be able to use a blocking motion if your defense meter is on level zero, which effectively means you are very susceptible to attacks. At the top right corner is the opponent’s health bar, which also lowers as you deliver a pinpoint strike. To deliver an attack, you just need to swipe across the screen with a horizontal motion.

Attacks
Take action when you see the flashing message, “Attack now”. Time your attack when your enemy is dazed and you will notice it when he ceases to attack. Timing is important in attacking to deliver maximum damage. It will also ensure that your strike hits because your opponent is also capable of blocking it. The “Victory” results screen showing your statistics for the match will appear after you have successfully defeated your opponent.

The results show that you earn XP after your successful match and you will get most of it whenever you are successful in battle. To get additional XP, you have to utilize some equipment and get the crowd excited during the fight. You also have the option to Dodge the opponent’s attack and you have to be swift to do it properly. You will see exactly where the enemy’s attack is coming from. To effectively dodge it, tap on the left and right arrow.

After blocking and dodging attacks, your opponent is now vulnerable to your counter attack. Another simple type of attack that you can use is the combo, a standard attack seen in virtually all fighting games these days. It is possible by swiping rapidly from left to right. You will know how many combos you have delivered by looking at the number projected at the top left corner of the screen. It is possible to take out an enemy using one combo if you get to master the move. In relation to this, one move that is tough to master is parrying. What makes it tough is the direction it is being delivered. You need to swipe in a different direction from where the attack is coming. Constant practice is essential to utilize parry with precision.

If you have got a low health bar due to injury, there are potions that can heal you up. Access the potion by tapping on the “Inventory” button at the bottom mid-section of the screen. Look for the health potion to heal your warrior. For other ailments, there are other potions that can be found at the screen shown after every battle. You will also see the level of health your warrior has. There are also Special Attacks you can also use that take a certain amount of time to charge up. However, they are the most advanced tactics you can use. Tap on it at the bottom of your Battle screen to use it.

Level Up
In battle, it is not just “good” to have a skillful gladiator because you need the “best” one possible. To obtain an elite gladiator, you must learn to level up and gear up. In this way, your warrior becomes more formidable and can engage tougher opponents. After a triumphant battle, you can purchase new shields, swords, and armor by tapping on the Store icon at the bottom left corner of the screen. By tapping on the name of the category, you can change it to see other available categories. You need Rubies to be able to purchase items. Beware of overspending your Rubies because you need real money to acquire them.

To level up, you need to be victorious in your fights. After qualifying to another level, a stats screen will appear where you can choose the part of your warrior to be leveled up. Be wise in choosing the enhancements in terms of blocking power, attack power, and health. Choose the one that best suits you. It is best to use any advantage you can muster especially your skill points.
