First session
Four lobby steps — Pick Gladiator, Lancer, or Archer. Fill the bench-press Strength bar. Confirm Gladiator's Oath. Equip whatever the stone-hall chest gives you, then walk into the Colosseum.
First Colosseum run — The full first-session order, including the oath buttons and Centurion Lorica example.
Classes — Weapon roles for the three starting cards, plus the greataxe listed on the experience page.
Codes — Finish one arena fight before you expect the gift icon. November 9 strings are ABILITY, UPDATE_3, and TRIALS.
It is a Roblox gladiator arena survival game by SphereX Studio. You escape prison, train in a gym, and fight Colosseum waves alone or in a squad of four. The November 9, 2026 experience listing adds Trials, a weekly Hydra raid, and Hardcore wave shifts on top of the War Lion, Undead Brute, and Cerberus fights.
Which class should I pick first?
The Choose your path popup offers Gladiator (sword and shield), Lancer (spear), and Archer (bow). Pick by range: close defense, longer melee, or distance. The experience page also lists a Berserker greataxe, but it does not say how that weapon is unlocked, and it is not one of the three starting cards.
How do Hardcore, Trials, and arena bosses differ?
Arena bosses are the War Lion, Undead Brute, and Cerberus. Hardcore, on the November 9, 2026 listing, turns the arena blood red at wave 21 and Insane at wave 41. Trials asks you to defeat Ignis, Glaucus, the Hydra of Lerna, and Janus. The weekly raid is the Hydra of Lerna Extreme with your squad. Older public copy said Hardcore unlocks only after you conquer the arena; the newer listing states the wave shifts and does not restate that gate.
