The '''Gladiator''' (バトルマスター, ''Batorumasutā'') | The '''Gladiator''' (バトルマスター, ''Batorumasutā'') is a recurring, full-frontal offensive vocation in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. A gladiator is a fierce fighter who rains continuous carnage on the foes who face them, even at the cost of their own life. | ||

Gladiators eschew the balance of offense and defense that warriors display for pure power. This means that a gladiator will always be able to deal the most damage among the party, but at the cost of being deceptively frail for all their might. Thus, a gladiator needs ample support from its party members to stay alive long enough to crush the opposition and should be the first recipient of [[Buff]] in any battle. | Gladiators eschew the balance of offense and defense that warriors display for pure power.

In addition to increases in Strength, HP, and Agility, Gladiators also gain a variety of powerful skills that allow them to deal with many different enemies. A character requires mastering both the [[Warrior]] and [[Martial Artist]] vocations to become a Gladiator. A unique trait of gladiators is their ability to brush-off an attack, essentially being an additional evasion boost that goes up along with their rank. | In addition to increases in Strength, HP, and Agility, Gladiators also gain a variety of powerful skills that allow them to deal with many different enemies.

Gladiators are required to master (alongside [[Paladin]]s) to unlock the [[Champion]] vocation.

Gladiators have the unique skill set "Guts." Their [[Coup-de-Grace]] is "Tension Boost," which increases their [[Tension]] to at least 50 (if not 100). In other words, it is equivalent to using [[Psyche Up]] four times, but like Psyche Up, the final "use" may fail to boost the user into the 100 Tension level. | Gladiators have the unique skill set "Guts."
