UC2 Individual Ladders

Available Ladders From The Go

Arclite

Unlike most Juggernauts in the tournament, Arclite is neither a criminal nor a killer by nature. His presence in the tournaments is simply a byproduct of his genetic makeup. Watch your step around him -- he's not happy to be here.

Lauren

A former grand tournament champion, Lauren took her life after her boyfriend and teammate Brock died. The Liandri could not afford to lose two popular competitors at once, so they resurrected her with the horrific -- and horrifically expensive -- Necris process. One side effect: Lauren is only marginally sane. She does her best to share her demented grief with others.

Raptor

Raptor was originally designed for heavy mining and factory work. In response to audiences' ever-increasing hunger for bloodshed, these robots were refitted with combat equipment and put into the arenas. While they're programmed to win, Raptor's primary task is to eliminate opponents in the most spectacularly bloody manner possible.

Sapphire

Sapphire is soft-spoken, intelligent and attractive, and on first glance you'd never guess that she's a experienced tournament combatant. Her gentle mannerisms hide a vicious streak that comes to the fore every time she walks into an arena. Sapphire is known for setting the hearts of her many combatants racing -- but often for two different reasons.

Sobek

Sobek is a grizzled veteran of both the Liandri Unreal Tournament and the Imperial Legion. He has befriended Anubis, and taught him everything he needs to know about Tournament fighting. He's not as fast as he used to be, but he's twice as cunning.

Szalor

Szalor is a proud Skaarj warrior, who suffered the ultimate humiliation: he was captured and enslaved by his mortal enemies, the Torgr tribe. He tried to die fighting his captors and thus regain a small measure of honor. Instead he only impressed the Torgr with his ferocity. They entered Szalor into the tournament, hoping to watch an entertaining death. If he manages to win, however, he will be set free.

Unlockable Ladders

Anubis

Anubis is a prince of the illustrious Reydi family whose ancestors include fourteen former Nakhti Emperors. Favored to win the tournament ten years ago, Anubis left on the eve of the competition. Some say he was a coward; others speculate that political scheming forced him from the tournament. For the past decade he has served in the Desert Legion, honing his combat skills and revealing none of his secrets.

Unlock Anubis' ladder by winning the Ascension Rites.

Brock

Malcolm's loyal teammate, Brock attempted to avenge his defeat and kill Gorge. His death was predictable. He was resurrected via the patented Necris process. Unlike his former girlfriend, Lauren, Brock has no memories of his previous life. Unburdened by remorse, he's free to kill in the Tournament again.

Unlock Brock's ladder by winning Lauren's ladder.

Devastation

Inspired by the ratings success of earlier robotic competitors, the Liandri converted their brilliant new home service robot into a deadly killing machine. The Prototype is constructed with nanochamber alloy and possesses a giga-array processing unit. To further increase audience attraction, and home purchase, Liandri selected a sleek female body type modeled after a popular adult holo actress.

Unlock Devastation's ladder by winning match 14 of the Ascension Rites.

Gorge

Gorge, a former inmate of the Allerian Penal Colony, savagely clawed his way through the tournament to the leader boards. Snapping Malcolm's winning streak, and his spine, in the tournament finals should have earned Gorge instant stardom and respect. However, his rough treatment of his fanbase negatively affected his ratings, and 'Gorgeamania' never quite caught on. Gorge is extremely irritated that Malcolm's fans still outnumber his, and that 'Malcolm Will Be Back' t-shirts are still everywhere at Tournament competitions.

Complete Malcolm's ladder in order to unlock Gorge's.

Malcolm

The most famous Tournament player, Malcolm is a nine-time Champion whose face is recognized on every planet in the galaxy. His winning streak (and his spine) was snapped a few years ago by a crushing blow delivered by Gorge in the tournament finals. Malcolm never regained his former agility, but makes up for it with decades of experience. The Liandri use him extensively as a color commentator in their pre-game shows.

Complete one match of each gametype against human players to unlock him and his ladder.

Raiden

As an Elder God, Raiden has been cursed with seeing the devastation to come. When the Gods stood firm on their decision not to interfere in the ways of mortals, Raiden pleaded with them to take action, but they refused. Disgusted, he relinquished his immortal status to travel amongst the realms, gathering the support of the greatest of warriors against the coming storm. And there is no better place to recruit the champions of the galaxy than the Liandri Tournament.

Beat the Challenges in order to unlock him and his ladder.

Selket

Selket is a princess of the Jehfar family, and a distant cousin to Anubis. Her desire to be Empress has eclipsed all other minor concerns like ethics and morality. Selket holds little respect for the animal-totem religion of the Nakhti people. She prefers instead the lucrative opportunities that the Liandri Mining Corporation can provide her and her future empire.

Complete the Ascension Rites to unlock Selket and her ladder.

Torgr

Torgr is the prototypical Skaarj: cunning, brutal, deadly. His combat skills earned him the leadership of the Torgr tribe. He hopes a grand Tournament victory will prove him worthy of being Consort to the Queen, and unifying the Skaarj and their slave races in his ultimate designs of intergalactic conquest.
