Gladiator is a Rare enchant for swords and axes. It adds 5% damage per level to your hits while you are in a one-on-one fight, meaning no other living creature is within 4 blocks of your target.
How to get it#
Buy a Rare rune in the enchant shop for 20,000 XP. Opening the rune gives an enchanted book with one of the 13 enchants in the Rare pool, and every enchant in the pool is equally likely. See Runes for how the pool and the book level work.
Effect#
- When you hit a target with the Gladiator weapon in your main hand, the game looks for other living creatures within 4 blocks of the target in every direction.
- Apart from you and the target, any other living creature counts, including other players, mobs and animals. If there is none, the hit deals extra damage.
- The bonus is 5% per level. It is added to your other damage bonuses, not multiplied with them (see how damage bonuses add together).
Levels#
| Level | Extra damage when alone |
|---|---|
| I | +5% |
| II | +10% |
| III | +15% |
| IV | +20% |
| V | +25% |
Notes and tips#
- A third player or a nearby mob next to your target switches the bonus off for that hit, so it favours fights away from crowds and mob farms.
- It applies to any target, including mobs, whenever nothing else is close to it.
- The check is made on every hit, so the bonus returns as soon as the other creature moves away or dies.
