Staff

Your gladiator can hire staff members for a variety of bonuses. Once hired, these staff members will continue to work under your future gladiators, and can be upgraded for a coin fee.

There are a total of four staff members you can hire.

Trainer
The trainer gives healing wine during fights and extra starting skill points. The trainer costs 175 coins to hire.

Surgeon
The surgeon heals and revives gladiators after fights. The surgeon is the most expensive staff member, costing 200 coins to hire. Keep in the mind of the keyword revival bonus, which is different from the total percentage. According to the game's code, the percentage of a revival success is slimmer by factors such as the number of fights (age) the gladiator has participated in.

Priest
The priest allows for renaming and customizing gladiators, and provides small fame bonuses after fights. The priest costs 100 coins to hire.

Spy
The spy sabotages opponents and provides small coin bonuses after fights. The spy costs 150 coins to hire.

Spy trivia

 * Every spy action has a 50% chance of success when it's unlocked. The chance of success increases 10% per level. This means a level-5 spy has:
 * a 90% chance of damaging the opponent's health.
 * an 80% chance of damaging the opponent's attributes.
 * a 70% chance of destroying the opponent's shield.
 * a 60% chance of successfuly spreading rumors about the opponent.
 * and a 50% chance of stealing the opponent's equipment.
 * If both the opponent's strength and endurance attributes are 1, the option to damage their attributes will be simply grayed out.
 * Similarly, if the opponent is not equipped with a shield, the option to destroy it will also be grayed out.
 * If the opponent has particularly barebones equipment, the spy will inform the player there's nothing he can steal. This message does not remove a spy action.
