As a warning Section 3, the advanced gladiator guide, is a bit more....nebulous. I did my best to explain a bit more advanced thoughts, theories, and tactics I've learned over the years and tried to give examples on how to utilize them. It's more of a building block to kick your brain and go "ooooooh" instead of a full on guide, while Section 2 is the "All you need in gladiator is this to succeed."
