Retiarii (5-Star Unit) are the uncontested champs of the Colosseum, deftly using tridents and throwing spears to strike fear into any enemy who dares cross their path. Unlock these former Empyrean army soldiers in Conqueror’s Blade: Colosseum via new Unit Challenges, and see their savagery in combat for yourself.
Exclusive Retiarii Unit Attire
To celebrate the arrival of the Retiarii, you can don your fearsome fighters in the exclusive Hoplomachi Attire. Available to purchase in-game and from MY.GAMES Market (via the MGLauncher) until October 20 (08:00 server time), this item will never be sold again, so grab it while you can!
The armour’s inspiration comes from the Hoplomachi, armoured gladiators with a signature style. Their distinctive helmets are adorned with two feathers on either side and their armour is dyed with a new hue, making them instantly recognisable in the Colosseum.
How to unlock the Retiarii
The Retiarii can be unlocked by completing Seasonal Unit Challenges and come with a Seasonal Bonus in the form of Leadership requirements decreased by 10 points for the duration of Colosseum.
Unit Background
Retiarii are a highly mobile light infantry squad, fighting not only for the amusement of the public but for the fame and glory of victory. Armed with javelins and tridents, they use both to their advantage to execute long and short-range attacks.
Unit Strengths
The Retiarii are bulky warriors, boasting high health stats and strength, ideal for making their mark in the arena as champions. Their dual weaponry can be utilised for fast, brutal strikes, and organised, calculated attacks.
Unit Weaknesses
While the Retiarii are certainly a force to be reckoned with, they offer no blunt damage or blunt armour penetration with their tridents or javelins. Their Mark of Death is their greatest asset—-but they have to hit the enemy first. Failing to do so will mean no extra damage infliction or reduced damage taken.
