Gladiator
Description
The Gladiator is a short range ground unit that is unlocked by triumphing in the Sword Fight on The Heights (SFOTH) event. It costs $450 to place.
The Gladiator attacks by swinging its sword, dealing 2 damage at base level to all zombies caught in its swing. However, the Gladiator has a very short range, making it most useful for slow groups of zombies such as Slows.

Strategy
Since the Gladiator has a very short range, it should be placed at bends or turns on the map to make the most use of its range. The Gladiator's splash makes it very efficient against groups of enemies, especially slow ones. The Gladiator's weakness is fast enemies such as Lightning since they will move out of the Gladiator's range very quickly.
The Freezer pairs well with the Gladiator since its freezing ability causes affected zombies to remain in the Gladiator's radius longer. Pyromancer's slow helps as well.
