Health
There's no way around it: you're going to get hurt or even fragged running around the arena. You can tell how badly wounded you are by looking at the Health score displayed to the left of your character's face. At the start of every event, all gladiators begin with health scores of 125 (which counts down to 100). During the course of play, it's possible to increase your health beyond this value, although it will gradually count down to 100 when this happens. Cross-shaped health bonuses are scattered throughout most arenas. Restore your health by running through them.
Mega Health
When you pick up a MegaHealth, your health is increased by 100 points (even beyond your maximum).
Regeneration
When you grab the Regeneration, your health will gradually increase until it reaches 200 or the effect times out.
Quad
When you scoop up a Quad Damage, your weapons are supercharged for a brief period of time.
Invisibility
This unit bends light around its user, making a gladiator very difficult to see. However, muzzle flashes and power-up glows are still fully visible.
Flight
A Flight pack is a small anti-gravity generator allowing a gladiator to propel him- or herself through the air with minimal effort. Flight packs are only available in multiplayer games.
Battle Suit
This golden shell protects the wearer from lava, slime, drowning, and other hostile conditions (including splash damage from weapons). Be careful. Even a Battle Suit won't protect you from the Fog of Death or the Void!
Armor
There are three types of armor available in the Arena Eternal. At the start of a match, you won't have any, so you'll have to look for it. Although the normal maximum armor rating you can have is 100, some improvements allow you to increase it beyond this limit, up to a limit of 200. Whenever your armor rating is above 100, it will gradually count down until it reaches that mark, even if you aren't taking damage. Your current armor rating is displayed on the bottom right corner of the screen.
