Magic Gladiator

NOTOC

⚔️ The Magic Gladiator

A lethal hybrid of the Dark Knight and Dark Wizard. The Magic Gladiator has found the secrets of casting magic while wearing heavy armor, and wielding blades as skillfully as any knight. Due to their mystical nature, they possess endless endurance, running for great distances without exhaustion.

📖 History & Mechanics

Long ago, a story was told of a clan that wielded the sword and mastered magic simultaneously. In ancient times, few men could master this dual art, and these savants of might and magic became known as Magic Gladiators. They are quick learners and advance faster than other classes, receiving 7 stat points per level, as opposed to the standard 5 gained by the basic classes.

The Magic Gladiator is unlocked when your primary character (Fairy Elf, Dark Knight, or Dark Wizard) reaches Level 220. They cannot wear a helm, but possess their own class-specific armor sets while also being able to equip many Dark Knight and Dark Wizard items. They can run without the need for +5 boots and swim faster without +5 gloves.

1. Magic Gladiator

Starts its journey in Lorencia. Mixes wizardry skills and knight skills with great elegance. Unlike base classes, the Magic Gladiator does not have a 2nd Class Quest at Priestess Sevina.

2. Duel Master

The Magic Gladiator evolves into a Duel Master after completing the Third Class Quest at Priest Devin. Wielding both staff and sword with great damage, they become a prominent figure in the PvP zone.

⚖️ Pros & Cons

✅ The Advantages

• Able to switch seamlessly between melee and ranged attacks.
• Can use both Dark Wizard and Dark Knight skills.
• Incredibly easy to train and reset, even without full option items.
• Very good damage presence in PvP, Duels, and Castle Siege defense.

❌ The Disadvantages

• Low HP puts him at a disadvantage when battling bulky classes.
• At max stats, magic spells become largely obsolete for damage.
• Requires expensive items and unlocked Achievements to excel in high-tier PvP.
• Cannot be created until you reach Level 220 with a base character.

🔥 PvP Flow & Strategy

To be functional in PvP, an MG needs better gear than most characters. You won't easily solo a BK, but you excel as support. Your strategy is to harass from a distance: Run > Hit > Run.

1v1 Matchup Expectations (Equal Gear):

• BK & DL generally defeat MG.
• MG generally defeats Elf.
• MG vs SM often results in a stalemate.
• Reflect damage is your worst nightmare due to low HP!

Best Ally Buffs:

• BK (Swell Life): Crucial to maximize your low base health.
• Elf (Damage Buff): Maximizes your harassment power. (Skip the defense buff, it won't save you).
• SM (Soul Barrier): Helps you survive burst damage while you strike.

Duel Master's Combos

The Duel Master's Combo can be executed by 2 possible skill combinations depending on your build:

1. Power Slash ➔ Fire Slash ➔ Twisting Slash (STR Combo)

2. Lightning ➔ Inferno ➔ Flame (ENE Combo)

Warrior Skills

Pro Tip for Fire Slash: A great PvP harass combo is Power Slash -> Fire Slash -> Power Slash. Hitting the opponent with Fire Slash periodically decreases their defense!

Power Slash

Using specific MG weapons, the Gladiator can cast sweeping bolts of lightning energy.

Fire Slash

Creates fire in mid-air, slicing the opponent in a swift move while simultaneously lowering their defense rating.

Defense

Requires a Shield. Positions the MG in a defensive posture, reducing damage taken from enemy strikes by 50%.

Slashing Skill

A dreadful skill that uses both blades of a sword to cut an enemy, dealing 2 times more damage than normal attacks.

Twisting Slash

Allows the Gladiator to violently whirl his weapon around him to attack all adjacent targets.

Uppercut

Cleaves into an enemy through an upward slashing motion. Looks fluid, but takes dedication to master.

Lunge

Executes quick stab attacks that penetrate deeply through an opponent's armor into their vital parts.

Wizard Skills

Pro Tip for Harassment: Use Ice to slow down a chasing BK (useless against Ring of Ice users). Use Lightning to push away an opponent who is hitting you to death (still effective against Lightning Pendant users). For leveling and AFK resets, Evil Spirits is your absolute best choice, as it works perfectly at all agility levels on InfinityMU.

Aqua Beam

Conjures a beam of concentrated elemental water that penetrates through multiple opponents.

Comet Fall

Conjures a bolt of energy that shoots targets directly from the sky.

Evil Spirit

Summons spirits to fight on the side of the caster. Damages all opponents within the line of sight.

Fire Ball

Shoots a huge tongue of fire, giving massive damage to enemies. Easily mastered by novices.

Flame

Summons a pillar of flame which causes continuous damage on all creatures it touches.

Hellfire

Conjures hellfire that springs up from the ground and hits multiple targets around the gladiator.

Ice

Has a chance of chilling enemies, slowing down their movement and the speed of their attack.

Inferno

Creates a ring of fire around the caster, instantly burning those who come too close.

Lightning

A swift Lightning spell that can knock enemies back upon impact.

Meteorite

Summons a meteorite from the heavens to smite opponents.

Poison

Conjures poisonous vines from the ground. Poisoned enemies slowly lose life over time until cured.

Power Wave

Shoots a wave of force. Power Wave digs under the ground and moves toward the enemy to deal moderate damage.

Twister

Conjures small cyclones that can confuse the enemy when they are struck.

🏰 Special Castle Siege Skills

Spiral Slash

Exclusive Skill. A slash of fire spirals in the air while the blade is slashing through the enemy.

Mana Rays

Exclusive Skill. A bolt of blue mana light casts by the magic within the gladiator reaching straight to the enemy.
