Fight for Glory, outmaneuver your opponent, and prove that your warriors are worthy of becoming legend.here
Forge your Band
Each Gladiatorial Band is assembled from selection of Characters ripped from throughout time and space to fight alongside each other in the Arena for Glory. Each Character possesses abilities and weapons that will aid them and your Band - from warriors to rogues and supports - a strong Band is one where the Characters complement each other.
Lastly, you will bring Edicts to the Arena, powerful abilities that give your Band an even deeper strategic flair and cultural identity.
Serve your
Myth
Above your Band is your Myth, which serves as its unifying image, offering playstyle altering effects that make no two bands feel the same.
Earn Favor with your Myth over the course of the match to not only earn Glory, but gain additional Boons to help see your enemies driven before you!
The Characters
The Spartan
The Greek Spartan is a formidable front-liner who thrives in the heat of battle. Once engaged, he shrugs off damage, continuing to fight even when faced with insurmountable odds.
Beyond his own unwavering resilience, the Spartan's combat prowess inspires those around him, granting a vital buff to both their Strength and Will. He is a powerhouse addition to any Band, syncing exceptionally well with characters capable of forming a tactical phalanx alongside him.
The Shinobi
The Shinto Shinobi is the ultimate assassin. With the ability to weave seamlessly in and out of combat—and even vanish from the board entirely—this operative is as elusive as they are lethal.
Armed with a deadly tanto and razor-sharp shuriken, the Shinobi stands out as one of the few characters capable of launching two attacks in a single round. This deadly versatility unlocks devastating combos capable of annihilating an opposing band's backline or eliminating isolated targets who have wandered too far from support.
The Rune Priest
The Rune Priest, a potent support character from the Norse roster, can curse enemies with a plague of ravens to damage any statistic of their choice.
However, his true strength lies in engraving runes for his warband, granting allies powerful, single-use effects to turn the tide of battle. These customizable runes offer a versatile toolkit, ranging from damage wards to speed enhancements.
The Buccaneer
Hailing from the Privateers, the Buccaneer is a lethal sniper boasting the longest-range attack on the entire roster. Armed with a deadly Flintlock Musket, he receives significant bonuses for remaining stationary while lining up his shots—including the ability to trigger high-rolling explosive dice.
Furthermore, the Buccaneer is an essential pick for commanders seeking to keep a sharp eye on the horizon and spot any stealthy characters attempting to bypass their front line. Lastly, like all Privateers, the Buccaneer is able to trigger a Killing Blow immediately on an enemy, keep the momentum of victory moving!
The Myths: Shape your Battle
The Myths of Arena of Myths are more than powerful patrons—they shape the way your Gladiatorial Band fights. Each Myth brings a unique strategic identity, from devastating divine power to cunning manipulation and control of the battlefield.
Zeus calls down lightning and rewards direct aggression. Loki turns Edicts into tools of deception, manipulation, and surprise. Susanoo commands the storm, using forced movement to disrupt formations and control positioning.
Build Favor through the actions of your warriors and unlock increasingly powerful abilities as your Myth's influence grows. Choose your Myth carefully—because the same Band can fight an entirely different battle depending on who stands behind them.
