Gladio Mori Guides Hub
Physics combat tutorials from day one through custom movesets, arenas, and cross-play lobbies.
Welcome to the Guides Hub for Gladio Mori, the physics-driven gladiator fighter from Plebeian Studio (LittleLegatus) and Bonus Stage Publishing. Full version 1.0 launched on September 16, 2026 after Early Access that began November 26, 2024. The game is available on Steam (PC), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S for about $15.99 on Steam, with cross-play across those platforms and up to four players online or in local split-screen.
This hub is the map for every how-to on the wiki. Gladio Mori does not play like a conventional fighter with health bars and canned combos. Muscles weaken, arteries bleed, vitals end fights instantly, and armor only covers what it physically covers. Start with fundamentals, then branch into creation tools, map literacy, and advanced fight craft.

What these guides cover
Gladio Mori ships with roughly 34 weapons, three shields, unarmed combat, about 17 armor pieces, and six arenas. Campaign lets you learn weapons and the organ model against AI before you take custom creations online. Multiplayer PvP supports hostable four-player lobbies in Classic (stock movesets), Creative (custom animations unrestricted), and Limitless (Creative with boosted character strength). Tournament settings turn a lobby into a best-of series, while equipment presets and AI fill options from launch patches keep nights moving.
Use this hub when you need a specific answer: how to rebind a swing, why a limb suddenly feels weak, how to keyframe a throw, how campaign difficulty changes pressure, how cross-play lobbies behave, how to paint a readable skin, how to scrub a disputed kill, or how to load a mod.io pack without breaking a match. Sibling pages link to each other so you can move from mechanics to practice loops without hunting the sidebar.

How to use the Guides Hub
Read Getting Started once, then treat Controls and Damage as permanent references. Return to Move Editor whenever you redesign a moveset, to Arenas when a new stage enters rotation, and to Multiplayer before hosting a Creative, Limitless, or Tournament night with friends on mixed platforms. Mods and Skins should be your checklist before joining a fashion-forward or modded lobby so versions match. Replays close the loop after any death you do not understand. Campaign remains the safest place to test a new blade or armor layout against AI without lobby pressure.
Every guide on this wiki aims for practical detail: what the mechanic does, why it matters in a real duel, and which page to open next. If a tip conflicts with a fresh patch, prefer in-game tooltips and official announcements, then revisit these pages after updates land. Bookmark this hub, then drill into the subpages until Gladio Mori’s physics feel intentional instead of chaotic.
