Hello Gladiators,
This patch comes with multiple fixes and improvements.

#1 Add a one time checkpoint at Glory level 10.
A lot of you have been asking for a checkpoint system.
I was hesitant this whole time as it takes away the challenge but also I understand the frustration of having to restart from glory 1.
So I went for a something in the middle, a one time checkpoint when unlocking the leaderboard!
Let me know how that plays.

#2 Nerf the Grab Spam

• Added a spam protection on grab. People were abusing this in high ranks with cheats.

• Can’t run while grabbing.

#3 AI difficulty

• AI can’t grab with 1 arm.

• Reduce the AI grab frequency. You should be experiencing less ‘chained’ grabs.

• Can’t get grabbed when rolling or while getting up. It should give you a window to escape from chained attacks.

• Reduce the AI attack frequency a bit.

#4 Misc

• Buff the shield with an active, shield bash. It pushes opponents.

• Performance improvements on later stages.

• Nerf the trident stick time.

• Buff the trident damage.

• Fix the stickiness of weapons, they were sticking more then they should.

Important
Because of the exploit fix and the changes, I need reset the leaderboard score for players that are above Glory level 21.
I understand the effort that went into it and I congratulate you but this is to keep the competition fair.

See you in the arena, Gladiators!
