**Tiberius** has a **very similar appearance to the Elite Heavy Class of the Romans**. The only things making it different are that the shield is colored purple instead of red, and the gladius is painted a purple tint and gives off a purple light. This light naturally give the player an aura as said light.

## Stats, Perks, Drawbacks

#### Stats

A player using the Tiberius Set will get a **base health of** **800** (Excluding packages) and **the Sword of Tiberius.** The sword does **around 60 damage per hit**. (Excluding slashing stance)

#### Perks

Weapon does **very well when paired with slashing stance (Short Sword Skill.)** The extended health also adds to the idea that Tiberius is more of an army character.

The two Pilums can be used to clear enemies and are **very easily replaceable**, meaning they can also be thrown quite often. He can then use his main weapon for PvP fighting. Considering that Pilums have huge potential for damage when using Deadly Throw, with the potential to **Deal 660 damage to the head**. This is more then enough to one shot most classes of the age if not get them to critical health.

#### Drawbacks

The Short Sword is a weapon that does very low damage in general without the use of skills. The player will have to be pretty skill reliant in order to dish out big chunks of damage.

The Pilums also don't last very long and may need to get restock constantly depending on how much fighting you are doing with the class.

## Gameplay

"Caesar couldn't survive the amount of stabbings Tiberius can" - Some Senator

Tiberius is a very defense based mythical class. Unlike Caesar, **his big shield and massive health pool allows him/her to tank a lot of hits before going down**. Not to mention how the Gladius **naturally hides itself behind the shield for extra protection.** The Pilums can be used to clear out NPCs so you don't waste your mythical weapon durability. Don't get discouraged by the weapons low damage. remember **that short swords do 2 damage instances.** This is why Slashing stance looks to deal a lot more damage, as it simply **combines these two instances.** Whichever one you choose to use is up to personal preference, but just note that **slashing stance exposes you for a split second when you swing**, so be careful.

The reason Tiberius is more of a Defensive Mythic is because of how the class' Pilums are used. These weapons are **very fragile and break easily**, but can be used to **do fatal damage when thrown or used to clear small waves of NPCs.** This is very strong as **it allows the player to preserve the durability of their main weapon.** This makes Tiberius the **most flexible Mythical class when it comes to dealing with Durability out of the 3 Mythical classes of the Ancient era.** It is because of this that you should play around your base or an outpost to keep a constant supply of Pilums to use.

When fighting other Mythicals, Tiberius **NEEDS** to land a Pilum Deadly throw if he wants to win against either Achilles or Guan Yu. Tiberius' Sword does not do enough damage to compete with Achilles or Guan Yu head on. If you miss, you're better off pulling back from the fight, refill on Pilums, and trying again.

* Gets **Murdered** by the other mythicals of the Ancient Age in head to head combat.
* Can still get ganked by the enemy team due to lack of damage output.
