Target one enemy at a time with all three of your gladiators. Start by choosing the enemy that will inflict the greatest damage against you. Let your gladiators remain so they can help one another deal massive amount of damage towards that single enemy, as well as help one another in taking damage. Also use your special moves as often as possible to maximize your damage potential. Form a balanced gladiator team. Sword and shield gladiators are balanced between offense and defense and frequently learn skills that increase their survivability, such as Focused and Taunt. Dual sword gladiators are strong offensively, but lack in defense and do not have good endurance. They learn skills such as Bladestorm. Spear gladiators can attack from a safe distance, doing damage while avoiding incoming attacks. They can learn high damage single target skills, such as Mighty Toss. Because you are limited to three gladiators in a battle, try selecting on e of each type. Position your sword and shield gladiator absorb the hits in the front line, while the dual sword and spear gladiators take out other enemies. To counter attacks by other players, set up your Combat Ground with your three best gladiators. They will protect your city without using energy or any of their other resources.
