Gladiator's Oath and the skill tree

Spend 1 skill point on Gladiator's Oath, confirm it, and open Gladius, Scutum, and Fortuna. Branch effects after that are not published.

Open the tree

The skill tree starts with one core node, Gladiator's Oath, labeled The Oath – Rank 0/1 and described as swearing the oath to open the three paths.

  1. Open the Skill tree.
  2. Select Gladiator's Oath.
  3. Press Unlock 1 point.
  4. Press Confirm 1 point.
  5. The node becomes Mastered.

Mastered grants +1% damage and +1% max health. Until that happens, Gladius, Scutum, and Fortuna stay locked. What each branch actually buys after it opens is not published. Do not guess node effects.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is [TRIALS] GloryBound?

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.
