Star Wars Armada - Gladiator Star Destroyer Ship Breakdown

[@Mitharan23]

The early days of the engine techs Demo was so much fun. Still a great ship. For the points, the Demo is basically always worth it IMO.

[@reignman2263]

I'm really digging these breakdown videos where you go back and hit those older ships. Can't wait to see the next one!

[@alwaysplaythegame]

The gladiator looks so good. The design makes sense and I wouldn't be surprised if we saw it sometime in the Disney universe.

[@reidveryan9414]

Instead of the Gladiator, the could have picked the Carrack-class light cruiser. It's only slightly longer than the Nebulon-B, fitting into the small ship class easily. Its fast, capable of being heavily armed; It's hull armor is light but its shields are its saving grace. The break down could be like this: Carrack-class assault refit 2 Red and 1 blue front / 2 Red and 1 Blue per side / 1 red stern and 1 blue stern / 1 Blue Squadron Die 2 Command, 1 squadron, 3 engineering Officer, Turbo Laser, Ion Cannon, Defensive Retrofit Carrack-class anti-starfighter refit 2 Red Front, 2 Red per side, 1 Red Stern, 1 blue squadron die and 1 red squadron die 2 Command, 1 Squadron, 3 engineering Officer, Turbo Laser, Weapons Team, Defensive Retrofit For both: front and rear fire arc are inside the corners (vs the side arcs of the corellian corvette) maximizing side mounted weaponry Speed 1: I Speed 2: I II Speed 3: I II I Speed 4: - I II I Hull: 4 Shields: 2 forward, 3 per side, 1 rear Defense tokens: Brace, Redirect, Evade Titles: "Eminence": when attacking the same target for the second time in a round, 1 red accuracy or 2 blue accuracy my by switched to show critical hit(s). "[name]": When using brace in defensive token step, first cancel one blue or red die of your choice then calculate damage normally after using brace "[NAME]": When attacking a squadron, blue accuracy counts as 2 damage.

I was finally able to get a gladiator and a basic Star Destroyer. I already have a chimaera but I really wanted the basic ISD to go with it. Thank you for the videos Crabbok :)

[@morcar8991]

The Gladiator II could use another title that swaps the support team and missile slot for offensive and turbolaser slot, so you could use it as s carrier or also as an aa-gunboat

[@Kinetic_Animations]

This might be crazy… But what about a Gladiator as your flagship??! I know this video is old, so I don’t expect Crabbok to respond, but think about this… Gladiator, escorted by Arquitens! They can protect it while it closes in. And you could use Romodi to take advantage of its maneuverability around obstacles… Okay, I just like the look of the Gladiator! XD It doesn’t have a ridiculous bridge…

[@rodento3220]

I like to use Minister Tua (Reenforced Blast Doors), Rapid reloads, Ordinance experts, Engine Techs, and Insidious. The blast doors make her pretty tanky. It is an interesting Choice for your opponent, do they turn to keep Insidious from getting behind them and get an ISD unloading on them. Fleet Ambush would seem to work well with this build. Only used this build once (Right before COVID) and flattened 2 CR-90s! The Interdictor was key is slowing the CR 90s down.

[@fuse557]

I love the different variations of star destroyers!

[@ahsokathechosenone5200]

When I play the Gladiator, I just destroy the opposing fleet! So powerful! The number of hull, the number of shields are just awesome! Agree on the medium / small role

[@garymilton4448]

In v1 of the game my favourite fleet was a tooled up Kuat, demo, insidious and a pair of Gozantis, with Screed as the admiral. Loved it. Won far more than I lost. Tried it once in v1.5, but it just seemed to have lost something. Will try it again, as one game is hardly a good sample size! Insidious is a great title and can even catch out experienced players.

[@Steve-ps6qw]

This was my favorite ship for a long time, just because of aesthetics! Yes, I am petty. I would love to build an imperial fleet with only medium and small ships as well as flotillas and squadrons.

[@reidveryan9414]

A missile heavy fleet with a VSD-I, Gladiators, and Raiders.

[@JThal87]

Wasn't the Demolisher the star destroyer in Star wars droids?

[@tonyrosaj]

This video came out a lot sooner than I expected! A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one!

[@olivergunson]

That is a deadly "small" ship. Always enjoy your ship breakdown videos 👍

[@EliWintercross]

I still haven't managed to get one of these tbh.... Do want to get one eventually. I agree it really should be a Medium ship rather than a small

[@aaronwentzel8695]

Throught puchasing a couple ships new and then getting someone else's collection, I've actually ended up with two (which isn't really going to be run in any list). So if you were considering buying one and are in the US just lmk.

[@picard3117]

Hi I’m a subscriber and I love the gladiator but usually with dual ISD’s

[@David5thUltra]

Thinking about a list based around them and some raiders. :)

[@isped8650]

a smedium ship

[@josephmoberly2109]

Not sure I’ve ever played a Gladiator without Demolisher

[@ekerslithery5955]

Just got mine 3 days ago and played a game where I threw it right in between a Neb b and MC80c and the nebulon exploded and the MC80 was hurting

[@Raymondt81]

Nice video. I like your channel. Do you have any idea if armada will continue to excist or will it die after 2022? I love this game but i feel a rush to complete my fleets before the game dies.

[@cubingmidget]

I’m fairly new to the game and haven’t had much hands on experience, so stuff like these ship breakdowns and cannotgetyourshipout articles are really helpful

[@gilgalora]

I like light sabers....

[@MstSrgKirige]

Really like your breakdown video always give me more idea torun ship. Love the gladiator ship run it with multiple fleet.

[@jthor9535]

Great updated video! I never thought of it, but you’re right people do frequently call them a Demolisher rather than a Gladiator.

[@victorgarciadominguez9156]

Great ship

[@Deathelement53]

Do the SSD!

[@Onafets111]

I was looking forward to this breakdown, and I'm not disappointed. Great ideas sir.

[@Gomorra1989]

I like the gladiator. I think it's a great fairly cheap ship =)

[@lordcypher7922]

I love my Gladiator but definitely need to get another

[@obermutant5286]

Good summary. I like your Armada breakdown vids.

[@antonioduarteserrano5949]

Waiting for reprints to get my second Gladiator.

[@JustinBrown-gh9vv]

Been writing home brew rules for Star Wars armada x Star Trek attack wing. Only real bug I ran across was the points cost. Trying 200 Star Wars points account for 100 Star Trek points. Another small issue was how accuracies work. I’m trying -2 defense dice, since -1 would be far too underpowered. I treat all SW attacks as secondary weapons, and all primary weapons are at -1 attack die at long range, since SW doesn’t have defense dice. Seems good on paper, I’ll have to see if it works out.

[@cpaul562]

I’d like to know more.

[@dhimes814]

I am looking for a lower cost imperial light cruiser. Does anyone know when Armada will be doing reprints?

[@SuperDecimator]

I got some internationally shipped a while ago for decent price, though there was a big shipping jump from 3 to 4 units, likely for box size. Site was Zatu, Zuta..? Good luck.

[@MCbrodie86]

I really need to pick up one of these

[@trevor1645]

One of my favorite ships from the lore

[@jakef6974]

awesome
