What does Gladiator’s Oath do?
Gladiator's Oath
“Swear the oath to open the four paths.”
The tutorial hands you your first skill point and walks you to it: open your Inventory (G), press Skill tree, click the centre hexagon and confirm. Nothing else on the tree unlocks until the Oath is mastered.
What are the four skill paths?
Each path is a cluster of hexagons with a crown-shaped capstone at the far end. The first node of every path has 5 ranks; the capstone has 1. You have to unlock a linked hex before the next one opens.

Order: our recommendation Video guides from the community disagree; one stat-focused creator found damage, not health, was what held his runs back.
How do you reset the skill tree?
Press Reset tree at the bottom right of the skill tree. It costs 19 Robux, the same price as the “Skill Reset” developer product on the Roblox store page. There is no free reset that we have seen.
