After achieving the Aspired rank, most gladiators would call it a career. But not Poros Farag. By viewer demand, he marched back into the arena with the goal of reaching Prime Aspired rank and crossing the 1,000,000 score milestone—or dying in the attempt. This guide chronicles how to not only survive the brutal upper tiers of combat, but dominate them in style.

Opening Loadout and Strategy

Poros begins the episode with a strong build: top-tier stamina regen, excellent armor, and a variety of skills including Bloodlust, Triumph, and Entourage. His goal? Win matches consistently while maximizing spectacle and visual flair. From this point on, gear upgrades and unique item hunts become secondary goals alongside climbing the ranks.

Fighting Smart with New Knowledge

After a session with the game’s developer Jordy, Poros adopted a more methodical, efficient playstyle:

• Sword and shield playstyle for safe, consistent wins.
• Third-person camera for greater situational awareness.

Despite a heavy investment in two-handed builds, the dev’s tips elevated Poros’ tactical approach across all gear setups.

Climbing Through One-Versus-Many

One of the defining fights of this run was a 1v7 Entourage match. By focusing on unarmored enemies first and letting his allies create chaos, Poros managed to:

• Score clean kills on weaker foes.
• Maintain kiting distance.
• Use terrain and spacing to survive the final 1v1.

The result? One of the most intense and celebrated fights in the run—one that earned him 35,000 gold in a single payout.

Drip is the Side Quest

Beyond combat, Poros committed to the ultimate visual flex: the drippiest gladiator build possible. Key pickups included:

• The Exalted Helm (46,000 gold).
• Runna, a legendary polearm that cleaves through armor.
• High-end matching armor sets and pauldrons.

The phrase “drip or drown” defined this meta-narrative, and Poros ended up looking like a war-god by the end of the run.

Dominating with Polearms

After experimenting with hammers and swords, Poros gravitated toward polearms and long weapons:

• Runna offered huge range and high armor-piercing.
• Sweeping wide arcs made multi-kills possible.
• Combined with high stamina regen, it kept him on the offensive constantly.

When his weapon began to break, panic set in—but he kept multiple backups ready and adapted quickly.

Highlight Matches

• Unarmed weapon match: Poros starts without gear and has to improvise by throwing enemy weapons and scrambling for pickups—still comes out with full bets.
• 5v5v5 Tournament: Unique team battle format with total chaos and some of the best throw kills of the run.
• Drip race: With 777,777 score at one point, every match brought Poros closer to Prime Aspired, while letting him upgrade his gear bit by bit.

Crossing 1 Million: Prime Aspired Achieved

The last matches were grueling, but safe. Leveraging his overpowered loadout and high stamina, Poros avoided risks and banked wins with:

• Crowd control via long weapons.
• Shield breakers to disarm enemies.
• Distance-focused engagements to avoid HP loss.

Upon reaching the Prime Aspired rank, Poros closed out at over 1,000,000 score, clad in the best armor money can buy, wielding legendary weaponry.

Next Steps: Ascended Rank and Streams

Though this challenge is complete, Poros’ journey isn’t over. The next milestone is the Ascended rank, which will require hitting 10,000,000 score—a truly god-tier accomplishment.

Plans for this include:

• Potential Twitch + YouTube dual streaming.
• Longer-form grind episodes.
• Continuing the same build with minor tweaks.

Conclusion: A Blood-Soaked Millionaire Gladiator

Poros Farag didn’t just survive. He became legend. From fan-favorite to Prime Aspired in a single season, he carved his way through blood, sweat, and severed limbs. With style. With drip. With dominance.

The path to Ascended is open, but for now, this is one of the cleanest, most complete Prime Aspired runs ever seen in We Who Are About to Die.
