Arena Challenger is a notable Ascendancy passive skill for the Gladiator that interacts with Blood and Sand Stance.

Mechanics

Arena Challenger grants different effects depending on what stance you are:

• In Blood Stance, it grants a chance to gain a Challenger Charge when you hit an Rare or Unique enemy.
• In Sand Stance, it makes you gain a Challenger Charge on kill.

Each Challenger Charge grants more attack speed and movement speed, stacking up to 10 times, or 20% each. Charges last 10 seconds and can be refreshed upon reaching the maximum amount (unlike e.g. Divine Charges which reset back to zero).

It will grant the Blood Stance benefit by default if you are not in either stance (e.g. if you do not have either of the toggle gems equipped).
