Overview
The Magic Gladiator becomes available once you have a character at level 220. He blends blade and sorcery, so his toolkit borrows from both the Dark Knight and the Dark Wizard. He earns 7 stat points per level instead of the 5 that the first three classes get, cannot wear a helm, and has his own armour sets while also being able to use many Knight and Wizard pieces.

His signature skills from the original class guide are Power Slash, a lightning bolt fired through special weapons, and Fire Slash, a cut so fast it sets the air on fire and confuses enemies. Starting values from the official guide:
| Strength | Agility | Vitality | Energy | HP | Mana |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 26 | 26 | 26 | 16 | 110 | 60 |
Knight and Wizard builds
Since Season 16The Season 16 renewal (with events in February 2022) split the class into clear builds. A Knight-type MG either dual-wields one-handed swords, which scales with Dexterity and attacks fast, or swings a two-handed sword, which scales with Strength and hits hard. A Wizard-type MG dual-wields staffs: part of the Wizardry of the staff in the left hand is added to the character, and his spells scale with Energy.
Each build has a charge buff learned from Madam Liamann. It lasts until the character dies or logs out, widens the build's main skills, and makes every third skill cast trigger an extra explosion around the MG.
| Buff | Weapon | Needs | Raises | Skill range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spiral Charge | Two-handed sword | 900 Strength | Attack and defence | Chaos Blade and Fire Blood reach 6 |
| Crusher Charge | One-handed swords | 900 Strength | Attack speed and defence | Chaos Blade and Ice Blood reach 5 |
| Elemental Charge | Staffs | 1,073 Energy | Wizardry and defence | Havok Spear reaches 7 |
Renewal attack skills
Since Season 16Most of these are bought from Priest James in Elbeland for 1,000 Ruud; Gigantic Storm drops from monsters. All of them start with a base range of 3 (6 for Havok Spear) and grow with the matching charge buff.
| Skill | Weapon | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Chaos Blade | Either sword type | A dark sword wave with a blue glow over a wide area in front of and around him (19 MP, 14 AG). |
| Fire Blood | Two-handed sword | A burning sword wave over a wide area. |
| Ice Blood | One-handed sword | A frozen sword wave over a wide area in front. |
| Havok Spear | Staffs | A surge of lightning spears around him (92 MP, 20 AG). |
| Gigantic Storm | Staffs | Thunderbolts over a wide area; its base damage was doubled in the renewal. |
The renewal also cut the AG cost of the Knight-type skills: Blood Attack went from 20–24 to 12, and Fire Blood and Ice Blood from 28 to 14. In the Master Skill Tree, Flame Strike, Ice and Inferno branches were removed and new Strengthener and Mastery nodes were added for the three charge buffs; Chaos Blade and Havok Spear got branches in the Skill Enhance Tree.
Mastery two-handed swords
Since Season 16The Knight-type MG received his own line of Mastery magic two-handed swords. All have attack speed 45 and Excellent options such as +10% Excellent damage rate and +7 attack speed. Shortened table:
| Sword tier | Level | Attack | Strength needed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bloodangel | 400 | 350–379 | 650 |
| Holy Angel | 800 | 489–527 | 702 |
| Silver Heart | 1100 | 790–840 | 743 |
Combat Power update
Since Season 18 Part 2A later character renewal (Season 18 Part 2-2) added the Combat Power (%) attribute to the MG, raising his attack and skill power. For him it comes from Strength and Dexterity and from one- or two-handed swords with the right option, and it only applies to attack skills. The same patch raised the attack bonus of Spiral Charge.
