Role at a glance
Shown on the official Global teaserGladiator is one of the eight classes currently displayed on NC’s Global teaser.
Melee damage / wide-area pressure
Best fit if you want a direct front-line DPS style with broad-area attacks.
What is safe to say before Global launch
Officially introduced by NC as a powerful class with wide-area skill attacks.
The Global client can still change exact skill numbers, cooldowns and balance coefficients. This page therefore focuses on stable role identity rather than copying a Korean patch’s DPS ranking into a pre-launch guide.
KR live-service information: how to use it
KR live referenceKorean balance patches are useful for seeing the systems NC actively tunes, but exact rankings can change before or at Global launch.
NC’s March 2026 Korea update added class-specific Stigma changes and separated PvP/PvE damage calculations, which is a strong reason to avoid treating an old single tier list as permanent.
