Tips

  • The decently high drop chance, useful set bonus, and defense on par with Gold armor could make this set a good alternative to Gold/Platinum armor in pre-Hardmode. Hoplites deal high damage, but can also be stunlocked relatively easily, and in addition to the armor they can drop Javelins.
    • The Gladiator armor can be particularly useful for melee players due to its high defense and complete immunity to knockback.
  • For players who are particularly fond of the complete knockback immunity who commonly opt to equip a Cobalt Shield or Obsidian Shield, this armor set provides decent defense and can let them swap out their shield for another accessory while keeping the knockback immunity. However, it still cannot replace the burn-resistant property of the Obsidian Shield.

Trivia

  • Despite being named after the people who fought in the Colosseum in ancient Rome, the Gladiator armor visually resembles the armor of hoplites (a type of soldier in ancient Greece) whom the enemies that drop it are named after as well.
