Gameplay Notes

• Gladiator's normal attacks count as one damage instance despite appearing as two instances; the visual effect is purely cosmetic.
• If  Decimate5-hit, 100% superior elemental damage to a foe (Damage cap: ~81,000 per hit).
  When an auxiliary weaponA class specialty weapon of the same element as the main weapon, equipped in the top-left slot of the sub weapon section is equipped: Number of hits doubles to 10. is copied by  FacsimileCopy an ally's skill. (Might fail, might not.), its auxiliary weaponA class specialty weapon of the same element as the main weapon, equipped in the top-left slot of the sub weapon section effect will activate if the Main Character met the requirements.

Auxiliary Weapon

The top-left slot of the grid is used as an auxiliary weapon for some classes.

Auxiliary weaponsA class specialty weapon of the same element as the main weapon, equipped in the top-left slot of the sub weapon section are a mechanic unique to classes where the top-left slot of the sub weapon section gains a different border than usual and defines how related passive and active skills will behave. See Auxiliary Weapon Affected Skills for a list of skills affected by auxiliary weapons.

An auxiliary weapon must match the weapon specialty of the current class as well as the main weapon's element to qualify as an auxiliary weapon.

Auxiliary weapons are displayed in battle along with the mainhand, but do not qualify as a mainhand for weapon skill requirements.

Since they are not equipped in the main weapon slot, Class Champion Weapons of other classes can be used as an auxiliary weapon.

Assessment

Gladiator is a strong offensive class with a high double attack rate and powerful skills. Unique to the class is its ability to equip an auxiliary weaponA class specialty weapon of the same element as the main weapon, equipped in the top-left slot of the sub weapon section, which boosts certain skills, including damaging skills that could rival the Hermit and Sidewinder.

•  Twin Coil2-hit, 200% elemental damage to all foes (Damage cap: ~415,000 per hit).: A fairly straightforward nuke. It has one of the highest damage cap among class skills, but its low base damage requires players to have an advanced weapon grid and a specific setup to reach it.
•  Decimate5-hit, 100% superior elemental damage to a foe (Damage cap: ~81,000 per hit).

Useful to bring against multiple enemies with different elements. However, note that by changing its element, it may not be affected by certain weapon skills or summon auras that affect only a particular element, such as Seraphic Weapons. Very useful for certain fights that require you to hit the enemy a certain amount of times in a single turn, and provides great value with Supplemental Damage.
