Gladius - Strategy Guide (Page 02)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Gladius - Strategy Guide (Page 02).

You'll start out in Imperia.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
                                    IMPERIA                              {VLII}
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

After the opening scene, Ludo will challenge Valens to a match.  There's not
much you can do in this battle.  Choose to attack Ludo, and press A when the
swing meter is in the red zone for a critical hit.  Ludo will then attack you,
then you'll use Empower Self.  Attack Ludo once more to end the battle.

After a short scene, you will meet Usus, who will give you a short tutorial on
moving and attacking.  Just do what he says, and then you'll head off for
Pirgos.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PIRGOS                                                                   {VLI1}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After learning about the arena, you'll need to complete the Training League,
which consists of 5 training rounds and 1 final round.

PIRGOS TRAINING
Badges required: None
Prize: 100D-300D, Imperia Talisman
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1ST TRAINING BATTLE
Prize: 100D-300D
My team: Valens, Ludo
Enemies: 2x Legionnaire

Usus will give you a lesson on moving, attacking, and using skills.  You can
skip this lesson if you want.  When you gain control of your characters, move
them to attack one of the Legionnaires until he dies.  Then take out the other
one.  Not hard at all.


2ND TRAINING BATTLE
Prize: 100D-300D
My team: Valens, Ludo
Enemies: 2x Legionnaire

Usus will tell you that attacking your opponent's side or back will cause more
damage.  When you start the battle, have Valens and Ludo go after one person
at a time, and try to hit them from the side or back to do more damage.


3RD TRAINING BATTLE
Prize: 100D-300D
My team: Valens, Ludo
Enemies: 2x Legionnaire

This time Usus will teach you about height advantages.  The higher you are
above your enemy, the more damage you do.  Just be sure that you're not too
high, or you won't be able to reach your enemy.  When the battle begins, have
each character attack the enemy in front of him; you'll win easily due to your
height advantage.


4TH TRAINING BATTLE
Prize: 100D-300D
My team: Valens, Ludo
Enemies: Centurion, Bandit

This battle teaches you about class relationships:  Heavy classes are good
against Medium classes, Medium classes are good against Light classes, and
Light classes are good against Heavy classes.  Start out by attacking the
Centurion since he poses the biggest threat.  Attack him from the back or from
up on the crates to bring him down.  Then go after the Bandit.


5TH TRAINING BATTLE
Prize: None
My team: Valens
Enemies: Ludo, Legionnaire

This battle will teach you about affinity attack and defense.  Usus will tell
Ludo to select his affinity attack, but you don't have enough affinity power.
Attack the Legionnaire a few times to charge your power, then use the affinity
attack.  It will do no damage because the enemy is protected against fire.


FINAL EXAM
Prize: 100D-300D
My team: Valens, Ludo
Enemies: Centurion, Legionnaire, Bandit

Now it's time to use what you've learned in the training battles.  The
Centurion is the biggest threat again, and the Legionnaire can be a pain also.
The Bandit won't be much of a problem.  Try to keep yourself on the highest
crates.  I would suggest teaming up and killing the Centurion first, then going
after the Legionnaire, and finally the Bandit.
*******************************************************************************

Well, you've won your first league, and now you have the Imperia talisman, so
you can take part in more battles.  Ludo will gain a level after this battle,
and Usus will explain how to learn skills.  You can learn any skill you want.
I would probably go with the 1st combo attack.

You can also recruit some new characters now, and I strongly suggest you do so.
Try to get a Light and Heavy character, such as a Centurion and a Secutor.
If you have enough money, you can stop at the shop and buy some new equipment.
Now, you can fight in some more leagues.  Note that you do not have to complete
every league or every battle in the league if you don't want to.  You only have
to get enough battle points to complete the league and enough league points to
enter the tournament.  However, completing all the matches will give you money,
EXP, and popularity, and prizes so I would recommend doing more than the 
absolute minimum.

PIRGOS COMMINUS
Badges required: None
Prize: 1500D-1750D, Plated Circlet
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


TIROCINIUM
Prize: 500D-550D
My team: Valens, Ludo, Secutor
Enemies: 3x Secutor 

This is a pretty easy battle.  You should avoid taking a Centurion into this
battle because there are 3 Light enemies.  So take Medium or Light characters
into this battle.  You can fight this battle however you want, either gang up
on one enemy at a time, or have each person go after one enemy.  You will
probably want to take out the guy with the spear first as he can do the most
damage.  Also, be sure to make use of Ludo's combo attack if you learned it.


LAMETICUS
Prize: 500D-550D
Fee: 50D
Required: Heavy
My team: Valens, Ludo, Centurion, Secutor
Enemies: 2x Legionnaire, 2x Bandit

Your Centurion should be able to handle both the Legionnaires with relative
ease, especially if he's standing on one of the crates.  You can have Valens
or Ludo help him out if you want.  Have your Medium or Light characters attack
the Bandits.  This is a pretty easy battle.


BRUTUS ATROX
Prize: 500D-550D
Fee: 100D
Prohibited: Beast, Arcane, Support
My team: Valens, Ludo, Centurion, Secutor
Enemies: Secutor, 3x Centurion

This battle is a little harder.  Have Ludo and your Light character go after
the Centurion and Secutor.  Have your Centurion and Valens attack the other 2
Centurions.  Make good use of your skills and combos and you won't have much
of a problem.


EMINUS
Prize: 500D-550D
Fee: 200D
Prohibited: Beast, Arcane, Support
My team: Valens, Ludo, Centurion, Secutor
Enemies: 5x Peltast

The key to winning this battle is to close the distance between you and your
enemies.  Their long-range attacks are pretty strong, but they are almost
harmless at close range.  You'll probably take a few hard hits while you're
closing in on them, but after that you can just attack them with regular
attacks, skills, or combos and win pretty easily.


ARCANUM
Prize: 1000D-1500D
Fee: 300D
Prohibited: Beast, Arcane, Support
My team: Valens, Ludo, Centurion, Secutor
Enemies: 4x Channeler

This battle can be annoying because the enemies will steal your affinity power
and use affinity attacks against you, and they have a very annoying skill
called Tornado, which scatters everyone across the battlefield.  However, they
aren't that strong and you should be able to kill them without any serious
problems.


LUDUS
Prize: 5000D-7500D
Fee: 400D
Prohibited: Beast, Arcane, Support
My team: Valens, Ludo, Centurion, Peltast
Enemies: 6 enemies total; combination of Samnite, Centurion, and Legionnaire

This battle is considerably harder than the other ones, so you may want to
start another league and level up some before doing this battle.

This battle can be very tough if there are a lot of Centurions.  I would
suggest going to the character selection menu for this battle and pressing X
to see your opponents ahead of time.  If there are too many Centurions,
restart the battle.  I got lucky once and only had to face 1 Centurion and 5
Legionnaires.  I also went back and recruited a Peltast because my Secutor kept
getting killed in this battle.

If you have a Peltast, have him use Long Throw or a combo attack at long range.
Have your Centurion go after the other Centurion(s).  I found the Spear Attack
to be useful here; you can use it if you buy your Centurion a spear.  If you
have Ludo/Valens and your Centurion gang up on the enemy Centurion(s), they
will go down quickly.  Then you can focus on the Legionnaires.  You might die
once or twice in this battle, but it's much easier if you get lucky and only
have 1 Centurion to fight.

CIVILIS LEAGUE OF PIRGOS
Badges required: None
Prize: 1000D-1150D
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now you're going to start seeing randomized enemies in leagues.  This league
has 6 battles, and the enemies in each battle is completely random.  So this
means I can't give a specific strategy for any of these battles; instead, I'll
just give general directions and strategy.  You should have enough experience
by now to know how to deal with the different types of enemies, but here are
some strategies for the different classes you will be encountering in this
league:

Centurion - Gang up on him and use your strongest attacks.  Attack him using
            your Centurion
Channeler - Watch out for the Steal Affinity and Tornado.  Otherwise, just
            attack normally or use skills.
Samnite - Like Centurion, gang up on him and take him out quickly.
Legionnaire - Centurions work well against them, especially Spear Attack
Peltast - Get up close, then attack.
Bandit - Have Ludo or Valens take them out easily with combos.
Secutor - Pretty much the same as Bandits.
Citizens - Sometimes you will encounter ordinary citizens, which are very weak.
           Defeat them any way you want, they're very easy.


OPEN BATTLE I
Prize: 500D-550D
Prohibited: Summoner, Undead Caster
My team: Valens, Ludo, Centurion
Number of enemies: 2

This battle is very easy.  Have your Centurion take out one of the enemies
alone, and have Valens and Ludo go after the other.


OPEN BATTLE II
Prize: 500D-550D
Prohibited: Summoner, Undead Caster
My team: Ludo, Centurion
Number of enemies: 2

This battle is the same as the last one, except you only have 2 characters.
Have the Centurion go after one enemy and Ludo go after the other.


OPEN BATTLE III
Prize: 500D-550D
Prohibited: Summoner, Undead Caster
My team: Valens, Ludo, Centurion
Number of enemies: Up to 3

The number of enemies in this match (as well as the next 3) varies.  Have the
Centurion kill one of the enemies and Valens and Ludo go after the other(s).
Have the Centurion help them after he kills the first enemy.


OPEN BATTLE IV
Prize: 1000D-1500D
Prohibited: Summoner, Undead Caster
My team: Valens, Centurion
Number of enemies: Up to 3

Like the last battle, but you only have 2 characters.  Have your Centurion go
after one of them and Valens go after another.  If there are 3 enemies, have
the Centurion take out the last one.


OPEN BATTLE V
Prize: 1000D-1500D
Prohibited: Summoner, Undead Caster
My team: Valens, Ludo, Centurion
Number of enemies: Up to 4

A pretty easy battle, especially if there are only 3 enemies.  As usual, have
each person go after one enemy, and have the Centurion clean up whatever is
left.


OPEN BATTLE VI
Prize: 1000D-1500D
Prohibited: Summoner, Undead Caster
My team: Valens, Ludo, Centurion, Peltast
Number of enemies: Up to 5

This one can be a little tougher if there are 5 enemies.  Keep in mind that you
can restart the battle before you even start to get the number/type of enemies
you want.  Have your Peltast attack from long-range with Long Throw.  Valens
and Ludo can each take out one enemy.  Your Centurion should be able to handle
the rest.

AGONY OF SATURNO
Badges required: None
Prize: 2000D-2500D, Badge of Perpetuity
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Like the last league, this one has random enemies.  Refer to the section above
if you need strategies on how to beat certain types of enemies.  Also, this
league is a series, which means you have to fight all the battles
consecutively.


SERIES I
Prize: 500D-550D
Prohibited: Summoner, Undead Caster
My team: Valens, Ludo, Centurion, Peltast
Number of enemies: 4

Depending on what enemies you get, these battles can be easy or hard.  Just
remember how to deal with each class of enemy and you'll do fine.  I had Ludo
up to Lv. 3 at this point and learned his 2nd combo attack.  My Centurion also
had a spear equipped so he could use Spear Attack.  There are 4 enemies in
this battle, so each person can go after one.  Remember to keep your Peltast
at long-range so he can use Long Throw or a combo attack.


SERIES II
Prize: 500D-550D
Prohibited: Summoner, Undead Caster
My team: Valens, Ludo, Centurion
Number of enemies: 4

Like the last battle except you only have 3 team members.  Your Centurion
should be able to take out 2 enemies while Valens and Ludo take care of the
other 2.  You just have to hope that you don't end up fighting a bunch of
Samnites and Centurions, because you can't restart this battle without
restarting the whole league.


SERIES III
Prize: 500D-550D
Prohibited: Summoner, Undead Caster
My team: Valens, Ludo, Centurion
Number of enemies: 4

This battle is pretty much the same as the last battle except the enemies are
a little tougher.  Just use the same strategy as the last one and you'll be
okay.
*******************************************************************************

Now you've beaten every league available to you in Pirgos.  That means it's
time for the tournament.  Before you compete in the tournament, make sure you
have 5 team members.  You may want to check the available recruits and get
another team member.  Also, you should have plenty of money at this point, so
stop off at the shop and make sure everyone has good equipment.  This includes
weapons, shields, and hats.  There isn't much in the way of armor, but the hats
sold at the shop will give you a decent HP boost, so buy those.  When you're
ready, enter the tournament.

*******************************************************************************
PIRGOS TOURNAMENT
Prize: 3000-3500D, Keys to Pirgos
Fee: 1000D 
My team: Valens, Ludo, Centurion, Peltast, Secutor
Number of enemies: 5
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Again, the enemies here are random.  So you might want to take a look at your
enemies and restart if you get a bunch of Centurions.  Since there are the
same number of people on each team, it's not hard at all.  Have each person
go after one enemy.  Your Centurion will be able to assist your other team
members too.  This battle actually isn't that hard; the Ludus battle was much
harder.
*******************************************************************************

After you win the tournament, there's nothing for you to do in Pirgos, so exit
to the Town Menu, then go to the world map.  Usus will take you to the next
town, Belfort.  If you want, you can exit Belfort as soon as you get there,
which will give you access to the whole region.  You can visit all the towns
and see all the recruits and get anyone you want.

Another thing you can do is recruit people, strip them of their equipment, and
sell the equipment for a lot more money than you paid for the recruit.  Then
expel the recruit.  If you do this several times, you'll end up with a lot of
money.  Then you can recruit higher level characters and buy more powerful
equipment from the shops.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *SIDEQUEST* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Before leaving here, you can start a sidequest.  Go into the shop here and talk
to Cresus.  He probably won't give you the sidequest right away, so keep
leaving and reentering the shop and keep talking to him.  Eventually, he'll
tell you that his father is being held captive in the Southern Expanse.  You'll
save him later in the game.

In this battle, you'll only be allowed to use Channelers.  It would be a good
idea to check in with the accessory salesman every once in a while.  If he has
any Talismans, buy them.  Talisman's raise a Channeler's magic attack, and will
make this battle go much more smoothly.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BELFORT                                                                  {VLI2}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can stop in at the shop to update your weapons, or go to the recruiting
office and see who's there.  You might want to hire another Centurion now.
Then you can take on the league battles.

CHALLENGE OF LYKOS
Badges required: None
Prize: 250D-300D, Lupus' Master badge
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


DINNER TIME
Prize: 500D-700D
Prohibited: Support - Archer, Gungnir, Peltast
My team: Valens, Ludo, 2x Centurion
Enemies: 6x Wolf

Although there are 6 wolves in this battle, you only need to defeat 3 of them
to win.  So focus all your attacks on 3 wolves.  Valens and Ludo will be more
effective than the Centurions because Wolves count as Light characters.  So
Valens will be able to take one out with a combo or two, and the same for Ludo.
Have your Centurions go after the other one.  Also, since your Centurions have
low accuracy against the Wolves, don't use attacks like Spear Attack.  Instead,
use a regular attack or combo and get a critical hit; that way your attacks
will always connect.


DINNER TIME II
Prize: 500D-700D
Prohibited: Support - Archer, Gungnir, Peltast
My team: Valens, Ludo, 2x Centurion
Enemies: 4x Wolf

This time there are only 4 wolves, but you have to kill all of them to win.
Again, have Valens and Ludo each kill one with a good combo attack.  Then have
them help the Centurions take the other two down.  Not too hard.


PACK MENTALITY
Prize: 500D-700D
Fee: 225D
Prohibited: Support - Archer, Gungnir, Peltast
My team: Valens, Ludo, 2x Centurion
Enemies: 4x Wolf

This battle is exactly the same as the last battle, except some of the wolves
have higher levels.  Use the same strategy as the previous battle.


DARK MOON
Prize: 500D-700D
Fee: 300D
Prohibited: Support - Archer, Gungnir, Peltast
My team: Valens, Ludo, Centurion, Centurion
Enemies: Greater Wolf, 3x Wolf

This battle is a little harder.  You start out with only the Greater Wolf in
the arena.  After you kill it, 3 more regular Wolves will come.  The Greater
Wolf is a powerful opponent - it has over 200 HP, and it takes up several
squares of space.  This means it can also attack the 2 squares in front of it.
So if you have 2 people standing in front of it when it attacks, they will both
be hit. However, its attacks are not all that powerful.  Just surround it and
hit it with your strongest combos and attacks, and it will eventually go down.

Now you will have to contend with 3 more Wolves.  Have Valens and Ludo gang up
on one of them and bring it down with combos.  Have your Centurions gang up on
another one, using combos and attacks with critical hits.  Then have whoever is
left alive finish the remaining Wolf.


THE FRAY
Prize: 1000D-1500D
Fee: 300D
Prohibited: Support - Archer, Gungnir, Peltast
My team: Valens, Ludo, 2x Centurion
Enemies: 2x Greater Wolf, 4x Wolf

This is probably the toughest battle so far.  You start out with 2 Greater
Wolves and when you kill one of them, two Wolves come.  And they are all quite
strong, too.

What you want to do is take down the Greater Wolves one at a time to prevent
yourself from being overwhelmed by 4 Wolves.  So concentrate all your attacks
on one of them until he goes down.  Their attacks aren't all that strong, but
they do have a move that makes you retreat 1 space, which can prevent you from
using combos.  But you shouldn't have too much trouble taking down the first
one.

After it falls, 2 Wolves will come.  These guys seem to be more of a threat
than the Greater Wolf because they are faster, harder to hit, and can use
combos. Have one Medium character (Valens or Ludo) and one Centurion gang up on
each of them.  Use your strongest attacks and combos and bring down those
Wolves as fast as you possibly can.  And remember that the Centurions will have
low accuracy against them, so you have to hit with critical attacks unless
you're attacking their backs.

After those two Wolves die, repeat the process.  It will be easier this time,
though, because you have one less Greater Wolf bothering you.  Just concentrate
on the remaining Greater Wolf, then use the same strategy to take down the last
two Wolves.

REGIMENTAL CHALLENGE
Badges required: None
Prize: 1000D-1030D
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is another league which has randomly selected enemies.  The enemies in
this league will always be Legionnaires, Samnites, and Centurions, but they are
randomly selected in each battle.  This also means that you can take a look at
your enemies and restart if you get a lot of hard enemies.


CLASSIC BATTLE I
Prize: 500D-750D
Prohibited: Arcane, Support - Amazon, Archer, Channeler, Summoner
My team: Valens, Ludo, 2x Centurion, Secutor
Number of enemies: 3

You outnumber your enemies by quite a bit, and your enemies also start out in
the pits, so take advantage of this.  You should be able to kill any
Legionnaires right off if you have a Centurion nearby.  Then team up and take
out the Heavy enemies one at a time.


CLASSIC BATTLE II
Prize: 500D-750D
Prohibited: Arcane, Support - Amazon, Archer, Channeler, Summoner
My team: Ludo, 2x Centurion
Number of enemies: 3

Since you only have 3 team members this time, make sure you take a look at your
enemies before the battle starts, and restart if you get something like a Lv. 4
Samnite.  If you don't get too many Centurions or Samnites, this battle will
be pretty easy.  Have your Centurions take out any Legionnaires quickly, then
team up and use combos and Spear Attacks to defeat the remaining enemies.


CLASSIC BATTLE III
Prize: 500D-750D
Fee: 25D
Prohibited: Arcane, Support - Amazon, Archer, Channeler, Summoner
My team: Valens, Ludo, Centurion, Centurion
Number of enemies: 4

This time, you will start out in the pits, so get out as quickly as possible.
The teams are even this time also, so have your Centurions wipe out the
Legionnaires with Spear Attack and/or combos.  Have Valens and Ludo start
attacking the Heavy enemies, and have your Centurions assist them when they
can.


CLASSIC BATTLE IV
Prize: 1000D-1500D
Fee: 50D
Prohibited: Arcane, Support - Amazon, Archer, Channeler, Summoner
My team: Ludo, Centurion, Centurion
Number of enemies: 3

I don't know if this battle has random enemies or not; every time I tried, I
got 2 Centurions and 1 Legionnaire.  You start out in the pit again, so get out
immediately.  Have one of your Centurions quickly kill the Legionnaire.  Your
other Centurion and Ludo should go after one of the enemy Centurions with
combos.  Then have all three of your team members gang up on the last
Centurion.


CLASSIC BATTLE V
Prize: 1000D-1500D
Fee: 50D
Prohibited: Arcane, Support - Amazon, Archer, Channeler, Summoner
My team: Ludo, Centurion, Centurion
Number of enemies: 5

Once again, get out of the pit before your enemies can attack you.  There are
usually a lot of Legionnaires in this battle and less Centurions.  Have your
Centurions take out all the Legionnaires with Spear Attack or combos while
Ludo starts using combos on a Centurion.  Have your Centurions help him out
after the Legionnaires are dead, then team up and take out the other Centurion,
if there is one.


CLASSIC BATTLE VI
Prize 1000D-1500D
Fee: 50D
Prohibited: Arcane, Support - Amazon, Archer, Channeler, Summoner
My team: Ludo, 2x Centurion
Number of enemies: 5

This battle is just like the last one, except the enemies are a little tougher.
Use the same strategy as the previous battle.

BEST OF BELFORT
Badges required: None
Prize: 1500D-1700D, Badge of Belfort, Regal Cape
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


ACTIVE DUTY
Prize: 1000D-1500D
Fee: 200D
Prohibited: Support - Archer, Gungnir, Peltast
My team: Valens, Ludo, Centurion, Centurion, Secutor
Enemies: 2x Centurion, 2x Legionnaire

You only need to defeat the 2 Centurions in order to win this battle.  However,
you may want to take out the Legionnaires if they're annoying you.  The enemies
start out in the pits, so hit them hard before they can get out.  Then just
concentrate all your attacks on the two Centurions.  Use combos and Spear
Attack and they will go down in no time.


DAMAGE CONTROL
Prize: 1000D-1500D
Fee: 200D
Prohibited: Support - Archer, Gungnir, Peltast
My team: Valens, Ludo, 2x Centurion, Centurion, Secutor
Enemies: 3x Centurion, 2x Legionnaire

Once again, you only need to defeat the Centurions to win.  You can have 2
people team up against each Centurion and take them out with your most powerful
attacks.  Just ignore the Legionnaires.


HOSTILE INTENT
Prize: 1000D-1500D
Fee: 300D
Prohibited: Support - Archer, Gungnir, Peltast
My team: Valens, Ludo, 3x Centurion
Enemies: 2x Centurion, 3x Legionnaire

This time you have to kill everyone to win, not just the Centurions.  Have your
two strongest Centurions go after the Legionnaires.  You should be able to kill
them in one or two hits.  Then have Valens, Ludo, and your other Centurion
start attacking the other Centurions.  I'd recommend taking them down one at
a time.  Your other two Centurions can help out if need be after they kill the
Legionnaires.


LAW OF WAR
Prize: 1000D-1500D
Fee: 300D
Prohibited: Support - Archer, Gungnir, Peltast
My team: Valens, Ludo, 3x Centurion
Enemies: 2x Centurion, 3x Legionnaire

This battle is almost exactly the same as the last battle, except it's a bit
easier since your enemies start out in the pits.  Use the same strategy as
above to win this battle.


PACKAGED FORCES
Prize: 5000D-5500D
Fee: 400D
Prohibited: Support - Archer, Gungnir, Peltast
My team: Valens, Ludo, Centurion 2x Centurion, Secutor
Enemies: 4x Centurion, 2x Legionnaire

This battle starts out with only 2 Centurions in the arena.  When you kill 2
Centurions, a Legionnaire joins the battle.  Start out by ganging up on 2 of
the Centurions.  Don't attack all of them, just pick 2 and start beating on
them.  When they go down, a Legionnaire will come out.  Have a Centurion or two
take down the Legionnaire while the rest of your team starts attacking the
remaining 2 Centurions.  When they fall, the last Legionnaire will appear.
Kill him using a Centurion.


TACTICAL CONTROL
Prize: 1000D-1500D
Fee: 450
Prohibited: Support - Archer, Gungnir, Peltast
My team: Ludo, 2x Centurion
Enemies: 3x Centurion, 3x Legionnaire

This battle is very difficult because you're outnumbered 2 to 1.  The most
important part of this battle is where you place your team members.  Do NOT
place Ludo in the spot surrounded by enemies, because they will kill him in
a heartbeat.  Try to place everyone kind of close together, away from the
enemies.  The strategy I used here is to get your team members together, and
wait for the enemy to come to you.  Spear Attack and a combo will take down
the Legionnaires, probably.  As for the Centurions, use your strongest combos
and use Spear Attack from behind.  You can also use the pits to your advantage
to lure the enemies into them.  This battle may take you a few tries, but you
will eventually win.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This league is very, very easy.  You're fighting against Barbarians and
Berserkers from Nordagh.  Even at higher levels, they are quite weak, so this
league should be a breeze.  Also note that the enemies in each battle are
random, but it will always be either Berserkers or Barbarians.
