All three artifacts are very good for physical damage dealers. Gladiator and Bloodstained Chivalry artifact help a lot in increasing a character’s normal and charged attack. In case you want your damage dealer to hit big numbers through their normal attack, then going with the 4-piece set of Gladiator or 2-piece set of Bloodstained Chivalry and Gladiator is a more preferable choice.

On the flip side, the 2-piece set of Pale Flame provides the same bonus as 2 piece set of Bloodstained Chivalry artifacts. What makes them differ from each other is the 4 set bonuses they provide. The 4 piece set of Bloodstained increases Charged Attack DMG by 50% and reduces its Stamina cost to zero for 10 seconds after defeating an opponent.

On the other hand, you have to rely on your elemental skill to get the full bonus of the Pale Flame artifact. This gives the artifact an enormous disadvantage over others. As a physical damage dealer, most damage must come from their normal attack. However, in the case of the Pale Frame artifact, you have to spam the character’s elemental skill. If you are fine with using elemental skills, then Pale Flame is a significant choice for you.
