Skills

Skills are special techniques gladiators can use in battle. Every gladiator has one Talent skill that they will always have, and can equip up to four additional skills. Skills consist of Active and Passive skills, and Active Skills are divided into Strength, Stamina, and Agility Skills.

Passive Skills increase stats or provide other bonuses, and are always working.

Active Skills have a chance to activate every time a gladiator attacks. Each Active Skill has a different probability of being unleashed, and the skill's description says how easy or hard it is for the gladiator to activate that skill.

Active Skills have different targets:

Single Target skills deal damage to one target. They are like physical attacks, but they typically deal out more damage.

Sweep skills deal damage to an enemy gladiator and every gladiator to the left or right on the same row.

Pierce skills deal damage to an enemy gladiator and every gladiator behind them. Splatter skills deal damage to an enemy gladiator and every gladiator surrounding them.

"All" skills deal damage to every gladiator on the enemy team.

The damage caused by a skill is determined by different Attributes. For example, a skill might say "Damage consists of 20% Agility and 80% Stamina." This skill would deal the most damage if equipped by a gladiator with high Stamina, and slightly more damage depending on how high the gladiator's Agility is.
