# 2.1.3 Using Gladiator Points in Combat

Now that we know that Gladiator points are tribe points + experience points, and how such points are given or awarded, let us review how Gladiator points impact the game play.

To best illustrate the usage and importance of Gladiator points, we will use an example.

**Example 1:**

<mark style="color:red;">Person A</mark> has minted a Street Hyena with 74 tribe points (50 of those points come from the Hyena's general tribe points: attack, defense and speed, while the additional 24 points are from the individual items the gladiator received).  &#x20;

<mark style="color:blue;">Person B</mark> has minted a Voodoo Mandrill with 66 tribe points (55 of those points come from the Mandrill's general tribe points: attack, defense and speed, while the additional 11 points are from the individual items the gladiator received).

Neither of <mark style="color:red;">Person A</mark> or <mark style="color:blue;">Person B's</mark> gladiators have previously been in combat and thus both of them lack any additional experience points. Accordingly:&#x20;

* <mark style="color:red;">Person A's</mark> Street Hyena has **74 Gladiator Points**; and
* <mark style="color:blue;">Person B's</mark> Vodoo Mandrill has **66 Gladiator Points**.

Both <mark style="color:red;">Person A</mark> and <mark style="color:blue;">Person B</mark> choose to enter their gladiators (NFTs) into an arena for combat and consequently they are paired up to face each other in the arena.&#x20;

Upon combat the game system will calculate <mark style="color:red;">Person A</mark> and <mark style="color:blue;">Person B's</mark> individual probability of winning the fight. <mark style="color:red;">Person A</mark> has <mark style="color:red;">52.9%</mark> (74 / 140 (<mark style="color:red;">74</mark>+<mark style="color:blue;">66</mark>)) chance of winning, while <mark style="color:blue;">Person B</mark> has <mark style="color:blue;">47.1%</mark> (66 / 140) chance of winning the fight. Accordingly, the odds of winning are slightly tilted in favor of <mark style="color:red;">Person A</mark>, however considering that the game is a game of chance there are obviously no guarantees that <mark style="color:red;">Person A</mark> will indeed win this actual fight.&#x20;

**Example 2:**

<mark style="color:yellow;">Person C</mark> has minted a Guerilla Panda with 68 tribe points (55 of those points come from the Panda's general tribe points: attack, defense and speed, while the additional 13 points are from the individual items the gladiator received).  &#x20;

<mark style="color:green;">Person D</mark> has minted a Commando Hog with 80 tribe points (60 of those points come from the Hog's general tribe points: attack, defense and speed, while the additional 20 points are from the individual items the gladiator received).

<mark style="color:yellow;">Person C</mark> has participated in several arena games and the Panda has earned an additional 30 experience points via combat.

<mark style="color:green;">Person D</mark> has previously never participated in thus lacks additional experience points.&#x20;

Accordingly:&#x20;

* <mark style="color:yellow;">Person C's</mark> Guerilla Panda has **98 Gladiator Points** (68 tribes points + 30 experience points); and
* <mark style="color:green;">Person D's</mark> Commando Hog has **80 Gladiator Points**.

Both <mark style="color:yellow;">Person C</mark> and <mark style="color:green;">Person D</mark> choose to enter their gladiators (NFTs) into an arena for combat and consequently they are paired up to face each other in the arena.&#x20;

As described above, the game system will calculate each gladiator's probability of winning the fight. <mark style="color:yellow;">Person C</mark> has <mark style="color:yellow;">55.1%</mark> (98 / 178 (<mark style="color:yellow;">98</mark>+<mark style="color:green;">80</mark>)) chance of winning, while <mark style="color:green;">Person D</mark> has <mark style="color:green;">44.9%</mark> (80 / 178) chance of winning the fight. Accordingly, the odds of winning are in favor of <mark style="color:yellow;">Person C</mark>.
