A true warrior knows how to strike his enemies well enough to deal the most severe damage to them, these mods together can make your Warframe unstoppable.
The Gladiator Mods are a collection of mods that enhance your Warframe’s survivability as well as improve your melee prowess.
Gladiator Mods have a Set Bonus that improves your chance to deal critical hits based on your combo meter, making you quite the melee killing machine.
How To Get Gladiator Mods?
Gladiator Mods can be obtained as rewards for finishing Plains of Eidolon Bounties, which can be accepted in both Cetus and out in the plains.
It is also possible to get these mods as drops from an Aerial Commander, an enemy that falls off of a Tusk Command Dargyn.
Tusk Common Dargyns are the final targets you kill during Assassination Bounties on the Plains of Eidolon.

Gladiator Set Mods
1) Gladiator Aegis Mod
Gladiator Aegis is a Warframe Mod which increases your armor by 7.5% at rank 0 which reaches 45% when it reaches rank 5.
An increase in armor is great for Warframes with medium to heavy armor and the Critical Chance from the Set Bonus makes quite the difference in a fight.

0 | 7.5% | 0 |
| 1 | 15% | 1 |
2 | 22.5% | 2 |

2) Gladiator Finesse Mod
Gladiator Finesse is a mod that drains your energy to prevent you from taking Lethal Damage, which most likely will come in handy to prevent you from dying.
The efficiency of preventing Lethal Damage begins with 10% and can reach up to 605 based on the rank of Gladiator Finesse.
Gladiator Finesse is a bit similar to the Quick Thinking mod and when the time is right, it will be able to save you from certain death.

This mod provides you with additional Critical Damage starting from 10% reaching up to 60% depending on the rank of Gladiator Might.
With an increased amount of Critical Chance from the Set Bonus of the Gladiator Mods, an increase in Critical Damage can greatly increase your damage output.

When it comes to melee, the Attack Speed of your weapon can play a big part in your overall damage per second, regardless of whether you’re doing a critical or status build.
Gladiator Vice helps big time with not only adding Attack Speed to your weapon but also adds to the Set Bonus.
The additional Attack Speed will allow you to do more attacks in lesser time and can be equipped along with Fury for even faster attacks.

Hi there! The critical chance bonus is combined, so having 3 Gladiator Mods across your equipment will provide you with 30% in total. Good luck with your build!
