== Playing style ==
With a few exceptions, all non-[[Fusion Monster|Fusion]] "Gladiator BeastsBeast" monsters have an effect to return to the [[Main Deck|Deck]] during the end of a [[Battle Phase]] when it battled, and then to [[Special Summon]] another "Gladiator Beast" monster to replace it (this is also known as 'tagging out'). The newly Special Summoned "Gladiator Beast" monsters usually gain another effect when Special Summoned in this way.
"Gladiator Beasts" also have five Fusion Monsters, three of which require a specific "Gladiator Beast" monster and either one or two other "Gladiator Beast" monsters as [[Fusion Material]]. However, "[[Polymerization]]" is not required to [[Fusion Summon]] these monsters. Instead, the correct "Gladiator Beast" Fusion Material Monsters are returned to the Main Deck to Special Summon the appropriate "Gladiator Beast" Fusion Monster. This process is otherwise known as [[Contact Fusion]]. Several of the "Gladiator Beast" Fusion Monsters are also able to 'tag out' to Special Summon 2 or more "Gladiator Beast" monsters from the Deck.
