# Movement and Facing ## Movement A gladiator can move forwards, backwards and side to side, these are assigned to the left analgue stick or the WSAD on the keyboard. The gladiator will have a walk speed (exact speed determined by Gladiator stat). This controls the speed of movement, forwards. Walking backwards is the also determined by the gladiators stats and is the same as the forward walk speed. Strafe speed (or sidestep left and right) are also controlled byt he gladiators statistics and will be set the same as the forward walk speed. ## Facing This is the term for a soft target lock on an enemy, it keeps the gladiator facing towards the enemy target. Facing is a soft lock becuase it can be broken by turning away from the target using the direction stick or mouse look. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
