Our take on Murmillo's Steel
“The fish that fears no net”
Every new account owns 1 of 4 pieces from the start, which is why the game shows it at “1 / 4”. The bonus, +10% finisher damage and +5% block strength, fits the Gladiator combo perfectly. Completing it from Common and Rare chests is a sensible first goal while you learn the game.
What does the Murmillo's Steel set bonus do?
+10% Finisher damage
Boosts the last hit of your attack combo. Gladiators finish a slash, backhand and shield bash chain, and Lancers end two thrusts with a 360° sweep, so combo-based classes get the most out of it.
+5% Block strength
Makes your block stronger. Only the Gladiator can block (the class card says “Block: 70% less damage”), so this line is wasted on other classes.
+11 Vitality and +55 Max HP
On our level-1 Gladiator with 124 Max HP, the set’s +55 Max HP alone would be a 44% increase. Every set adds flat health that scales with rarity. Rare sets give +11 Vitality / +55 Max HP, against +7 / +35 for Uncommon and +19 / +95 for Epic.
How do you get the Murmillo's Steel pieces?
| Slot | Piece | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Helm | Murmillo Fish Helm | From chests |
| Chest | Murmillo Harness | From chests |
| Hands | Murmillo Manica | From chests |
| Legs | Murmillo Ocrea | From chests |
Rare gear can also come from chests. These are the chests that can roll Rare items:
| Chest | Rare chance | Armor / weapon split | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common Chest | 25% | Armor 75% · Weapon 25% | 400 Cash |
| Rare Chest | 75% | Armor 67% · Weapon 33% | 1,200 Cash |
A chest that rolls Rare still picks one item from every Rare armor and weapon, so a specific piece of Murmillo's Steel is much rarer than the Rare chance.
Who should use Murmillo's Steel?
- Gladiator (sword and shield): +10% Finisher damage, +5% Block strength.
- Lancer (spear): +10% Finisher damage.
How to build around Murmillo's Steel
Gladiator (sword and shield). Pair it with the Gladiator’s block (70% less damage) and the Scutum path: Iron Skin adds +4% Max health per rank, and the capstone Unbreakable cuts damage by 20% below 35% health. Hold block through boss wind-ups and counter with the slash, backhand and shield bash chain.
Lancer (spear). The Lancer’s two thrusts and 360° sweep reward staying at the edge of a crowd. Use the dash thrust (dash + attack) to close gaps, and put early points into Gladius → Sharpened Edge for +2% damage per rank on every hit.
Fit: our reading of the bonus Based on the class cards and skill tree we saw in game, not on damage tests.
