Gladius

"The Gladius acts as a close range skirmisher for Liberatus, specializing in inflicting status effect damage to its enemies."

General
The Gladius is the Liberatus fighter which, like other fighters, is agile but has short range. Its overdrive is a direct counter to kiting tactics.

Strategy
This ship does not really have a special ability apart from being able to close the distance extremely quickly. Use short-range ships such as titans and fighters to fight this ship in case they get inside the minimum range of your rangers.

Scramble
When the Gladius is in an enemy's firing arc (does not include temporary weapons and squadrons), it gains a large boost to speed and acceleration for a moderate duration.
