10 "Useless" Video Game Skills That Are SECRETLY DEADLY

Swords and Sandals is an old but classic Flash game about fictional gladiators.

Although its original version has been lost with Flash’s demise, you can still play it on Steam, and if you do, be sure to give this one secret strategy a go.

Leveling up your gladiator correctly in Swords and Sandals can often feel quite intimidating, as you don’t have a lot of time between new matches, and you need to raise a lot of stats simultaneously to have a chance at surviving the tournaments.

Unless you just dump all your points in Charisma.

While most people would tell you that creating the perfect gladiator requires a balance of strength, stamina, and top-shelf gear, charisma can secretly obliterate your enemies on its own.

Charisma makes your shout actions at the arena more successful, and while this may not sound too useful, in reality, high-Charisma shouting has a high chance of dealing large amounts of damage to your opponent or even making them immediately forfeit the duel.

You can use swords and shields, but in reality, if you just scream at your opponent long enough, they will let you win before they can even get to you.
