For protection, the Retiarius were lightly armored, wearing only a loincloth, an arm guard (manica) that would cover the entirety of their dominant arm and a matching shoulder guard.
Trident & Buckler - Originally a fishing spear, the Trident became famous when Gladiators started using them in combat. Their torso is covered by a subligaculum loin cloth, while their right arm is protected by a manica. They possess metal pauldrons and a bronze helmet as well as bronze greaves. They have won over the crowd in every match but how will they fare when all that skill and training is put to the test in all-out war? The time has come for the Gladiator to pull a performance on the biggest stage they will have ever performed on. Their armor is minimal to allow for greater mobility but also to better highlight their skill. They fight for their own personal reasons: some fight to glory, some fight for riches. They have honed their skills through grueling matches in the arena and are now the top of their field. Gladiators are a playable hero in For Honor.
