Gladiator ( Final Fantasy V ) The Gladiator is a job in the Game Boy Advance , mobile and Steam version of " Final Fantasy V " , found in the secret sea chasm . The Gladiator is among one of the more powerful physical - based jobs in the game , boasting the highest Strength out of the heavy armor jobs , and tied with Monk with the highest Strength in the " Advance " and succeeding remakes . Gladiators have decent Agility , but suffer from poor Stamina , HP , and Magic Defense . The Gladiator is potent due to their wide array of equipment choices , giving them an edge against a variety of enemies , and can become better with some commands than the original jobs . Gladiators can take the front or back row . Mastering Gladiator for all four characters in the mobile and Steam versions earns the player the achievement " Battle Master " . Appearance . In the GBA remake , the Gladiator wears heavy armor and an intimidating mask . Bartz , Lenna , and Faris resemble characters from " " . The characters ' masks pose a certain resemblance to some summoned monsters : Bartz to Odin , Lenna to Shiva , Faris to Syldra , and Krile to Carbuncle . The Gladiator job was redesigned in the mobile port where the characters wear light armor reminiscent of traditional Roman gladiators . Abilities . The Finisher command can do one of three things : The ratio between failure , Elemental Attack ! and Critical Hit ! varies by job level : The element used depends on the character ' s crystal element : Bartz ' s elemental attack is Wind , Lenna ' s is Water , Faris ' s is Fire and Krile ' s is Earth . Galuf is given the innate element of Earth , and therefore his Finisher ability will take this element , although the player will not be able to see this unless they hack the game so Galuf can use this job . Elemental Attack ! will always inflict 9 , 999 damage unless the enemy is immune to or absorbs the element , in the latter case the enemy being healed for 9 , 999 instead . A non - boss enemy weak to the character ' s element will get killed instantly if the Elemental Attack ! lands . In spite of a slash " animation " , Krile and Galuf ' s Elemental Attack ! will miss flying foes , making their version of this ability less useful than the others . Bladeblitz deals a normal physical attack to all enemies equal to 75 % of the Attack command ' s damage . Row modifiers will be ignored if the equipped weapon ignores row , and all special abilities or effects of the equipped weapon will be ignored ( however , MP - driven criticals and regular criticals will function as normal ) . MP - driven criticals will reduce MP once for every target hit . Any non - Heavy target hit by the Lilith Rod will have its effect applied to . Weapons that rely on Magic Power , such as harps and the Wonder Wand , will not work with Bladeblitz . Upon mastery , Freelancers and Mimes gain a bonus to Strength . They also gain a bonus to Agility and Stamina unless higher bonuses have been gained from another mastered job . The stat modifiers for Gladiators are : Other appearances . " Triple Triad " . Faris as a Gladiator appears on a Triple Triad card in the version available via " Final Fantasy Portal App " .
