The battle system is turn-based and each of the gladiator's turn has different stages which always occur in the same order. Immediately before combat commences a 'Pre-Combat' screen will appear which will enable you to select the gladiators that you want to use, it will also allow you to see the arena the battle will take place and your opponents' characteristics which gives you the advantage of placing your gladiators strategically so they can take out their opponents. During combat, your gladiator's statistics will determine whether they hit or miss their attacks, and how much damage they inflict.
