Second tier
Star Gladiator
The Star Gladiator is the first advancement option for the Taekwon. Though it still utilizes some of the core Taekwon skills, it begins the journey of moving away from simple martial arts and into wielding cosmic powers beyond that any other job can hope to harness.
Similarly to Taekwons, Star Gladiators are very much at home without any weapon at all, and can be used quite effectively with nothing more than the Card Albums of their previous job. However, they also gain the ability to equip Books, transforming knowledge and information into raw power in their kicks.
The other primary characteristic of the Star Gladiator lies in their Skill Tree, which branches off in five directions. Though none of these branches boast enough skills to hog the entirety of the fifty skill points available to them, they all seek to monopolize the Star Gladiator's focus by providing exceptional buffs to make their skills stand out from the rest. These branches are, of course, the Solar, Lunar, Stellar, and Darkness paths, each fighting in a very different way.
Star Gladiators of the Sun deal exceptionally high damage, augmented by the Burning status. Star Gladiators of the Moon are more defensive, gaining additional life steal on their skills and protecting themselves from numerous negative status effects. Star Gladiators of the Stars find their attacks nigh unstoppable, ignoring virtually all defenses and quickly burning through enemies with rapid fire skills. Finally, Star Gladiators of the Shadows dedicate themselves to dealing Critical Damage over a wide area, dispatching groups of enemies as quickly as possible.
Of course, it makes sense that any prospective Star Gladiator would want to wield all of these powers together, and the fifth and final tree provides that option. The skill Cosmic Union allows the user to forfeit the ability to use all skills in exchange for being able to autocast them at an extremely high rate, and grants them all the bonus effects that their respective trees would otherwise keep to themselves.
