Ashenzari is right on my tail Rex_Nex 

But I just cannot manage to best Grawk Headripper of tier2 challenges. This guy just two shots me every time regardless of strategy, even though he is 10 lvs below me.
How did you guys manage him?

[Rex_Nex]

I've come to notice that the levels of the people in the challenges are just for looks. Most of them are as strong as glads twice their level. I'm working on Axe Murder, and I'd be lucky to get a single hit on him before I lose with either of my glads. Hes level 13, I'm level 23 and 26.

This is the usual for me:

[Zangi]

Oh jah... the Axe Murderer killed Pinkie Pie a few days ago.  I havn't tried to fight him with her since.  I don't need her dying more often on me... especially when a good pit fight requiring kills calls for her...

Applejack is also on the first Tier 2 guy, Grawk Headripper. .... She also gets 2-shot.

EDIT: @Rand Althor, no second meal for you... >.>

And damnit Scootaloo that was a close match with Applejack... you are still within striking distance at the least...

EDIT2: Try to fight Scootaloo with Pinkie Pie, get someone else instead.  Pinkie Pie murders her.

[Jay]

[Scootaloo is] still within striking distance at the least...

I feel it's probably appropriate to mention that Applejack was five levels above Scootaloo at the time.

Try to fight Scootaloo with Pinkie Pie, get someone else instead.

Well, of course. They're on opposite ends of the cartoon-physics spectrum.

Pinkie Pie murders her.

"Hey, other gladiator...  Why do they call it a hacksaw? Hacking is what I was doing with the knife. This is a saw. I don't get it."
(In actual news, it's probably for the best that you have Sweetie Belle for now -- It would seem I can't possibly get the third slot in anything less than ten more days)

[King DZA]

Well, I'm impressed.

I was all ready to sell Reginald due to his repeated poor performances, I was simply waiting for a good gladiator to replace him with. When, like some miraculous godsend, he gets a kill that rewards him with a blue 2H weapon that gives a 3+ stamina and 7+ chi increase, while hitting 123-187. The slaughter that proceeded in the arena left him with 5 more wins than losses and 3 more kills under his belt, one of which even earned a nice new flail for Ingrid.

I swear the stocky little bastard has some sort of secret Badass Mode that activates whenever I begin to consider getting rid of him.

[Rex_Nex]

Woo-wee. I had like 10 fights while I was asleep. I got someone mad because Ashenzari killed their 100-10-18 gladiator, and so he sicked his other glads on me. I won most of the fights, but he has a glad or two that beats me every time (2h war, hitting like a truck and not having the downsides of berserk...).

[Jelle]

Huray second death of the day at the hands of some rage gladiator. So through with this, rage two hand is rediculous.

[IronyOwl]

Ashenzari

Knew that name looked familiar. You done killed mah glad again. D:

[Rex_Nex]

Im sorry D:

[Cuervo]

Any of you faced my new glad Tsunami? If you get a chance challenge him:)

You actually made that seem pretty easy. I'm now much less about having Reginald go up against him, which will be soon, considering he just recently one-shot General Kain. So proud of him....

[Cheeetar]

Just had a pretty intense fight between my gladiator Perrin and General Kain. Perrin managed to get him down to 1 hit point, at which point I thought he'd surely be killed by the bleeding and all the attacks he'd do, but succeeded once dropped to 1 hit point.

[Jay]

Reminder: Bay12 has a gladiator list. Please add yours if you haven't already.

[Rex_Nex]

a few of y'alll were wondering about ole axe murderer.

So the secret is parrying? I'll give it another try. Last time I did 6/4 parry-slash with my dual-wielding theatrics, got him down to 200hp and then exhausted myself.

Unfortunately my rage has nothing but Berserk and Bash, and both of those end in me getting my ass kicked pretty damn hard.
