Pizza Brawl Highlights 4: Chaos Brawls Unleashed
This was the first brawl undergone since the release of Chaos Legion, the meta indeed has changed since then. Bit by bit players are utilizing newer cards with old strategic combos. In the fights located below it is in fact Untamed only, but now the modern format supports the TWO sets in brawl frays. I utilize Gladius cards in every brawl fight (here, here, here, here, and here) score 4-1 (wins/losses). I will be highlighting one fight I thought was particularly odd and utilized a Gladius card I hadn't used before , Helmet Kharafax. The battle below is the highlight from the following set of brawl fights.
The Pacifist Scavenger Salvages Victory: Gladius Fight
In the fight here I use a gladiator card that has NO attack or retaliation whatsoever. This means bloodlust will not be triggered on this blood lust card. Despite this, Helmet and his scavenge ability leads him to victory in this battle.
The earthquake ruleset benefits my flying creatures, and all of the enemy is damaged turn by turn. The enemy also it utilizing a gladiator card Palidon Rakk (a mighty earth tank able to take an immense beating). In this fight I outlast the enemy by only ONE turn, and it also displays the curious nature of the pacifist gladiator card Helmet Kharafax.
As you can see in the battle Helmet was placed in position 3 as a spacer. This also allows time for some units to die to feed his health pool, and this is the only reason he survives until the ultimate (and lethal) pass of earthquake damage. The enemy played well and the anti-armor summoner negated the effectiveness of my Truthspeaker card. Well played, and an interesting fight to behold. Their Gladiator card almost won due to sheer health and attack, but in the end perished to the ruleset.
Talking Tidbits and Giveaway
According to the lore, Helmet Kharafax is an exotic game hunter and the son of a poet. Now he's trying his hand at being a gladiator. This card itself has NO kill potential until much higher levels, but is a very interesting compliment to anyone's gladiator deck. I look forward to seeing more play with this card in particular (or any gladius card without a standard attack).

unfortunately i could never use gladiator cards, they seem very strong to me, and scavenge with earthquake ruleset is always golden stuff...i wouldnt put truth speaker frontline though, woulda been good a front chicken, behind eagle and then speaker
The purpose of truth speaker in front was 1, there was no rewards ruleset. And 2 for truth speaker to be revived potentially giving everything a layer of armor after losing said armor in a heavy hit of sneak. The double death due to Chanseus' resurrection ability feeding the scavenge spacer AND ideally blocking an extra attack. It was a bit of a gamble. If there were reward cards you know for a fact my chicken would be front and center. Thanks for the comment, I agree that chicken is a better spacer. Have a slice of !PIZZA

I haven't got a gladiator card yet, still grinding for merits to get a pack lol
@henruc
You'll get there. They are neat. Have a slice of !PIZZA
I'm still waiting for the first Gladiator pack. Hope we will get there some day, as those cards can be massive help in the Brawl fights. This meat shield with a fish as an extra shield looks funny enough. Bloodlust is an awesome skill I would love to see in action :O
Keep grinding. You won't be waiting long, I too want to see bloodlust on these attackless cards. Have some !PIZZA
Sounds like an interesting card. I haven’t been able to use my Gladius cards because our barracks is too low. It’s actually pretty frustrating. Making me consider leaving my guild.
Are there plans for the Gladius cards down the road beyond their current brawl functionality?
It's hard to say, but even the current brawl functionality is pretty strong. I can't recommend where to go or which guild to use, but being in any brawl arena is the right place to be right now. Have some !PIZZA
