Knock them off the stage
Pick a champion and climb onto a raised stage above the pits of a Roman amphitheatre. There is no health bar: every blow adds to your damage, and the higher it climbs, the farther the next one throws you. Leave the arena and you lose a life.
Fight live against friends in duels, 2v2 and 3v3 team battles and free-for-all melees, climb the ranked ladders from Bronze to Imperial, or work through the career from the Ludus of Capua to the Colosseum.

Five champions
Verus the Wall
Murmillo · gladius & scutum
Walks behind his shield, turns a well-timed parry into power, and calls down the Wrath of Mars.
Priscus the Fisher
Retiarius · trident & net
Casts the net, throws the harpoon and raises Neptune's Tide. Land the tip of the trident and it hits harder.
Flamma the Syrian
Dimachaerus · twin sicae
Three jumps, and every hit in the air earns another. Dodge the first of the Thousand Cuts or take them all.
Crixus the Gaul
Crupellarius · maul & plate
Armoured swings that don't flinch, a charged heavy that breaks guards, and an aimed Ground Pound.
Carpophorus the Beastmaster
Venator · bow & lion pelt
Arrows that hit harder at range, spring snares, a hawk's leap, and an ultimate that releases the lions.
Arenas that fight back
The Ludus Pit
A square training yard in Capua, where the spinning palus leaves only the corners safe.
Hypogeum of Capua
Trapdoors drop the floor into the cages beneath.
Shadow of Vesuvius
Pompeii split into three floors over lava fissures: firebombs, geysers and magma surges.
The Naumachia
A sea battle at Carthage: drifting galleys, rogue waves, and triremes that ram the quay.
The Colosseum
Rome itself: lifts, lions and the emperor's edicts.
Knock a rival into a hazard and the kill is still yours.
