GloryBound Squads Guide: Squad Size and What You Do Together in Co-op Survival

Quick answer

A GloryBound squad is 4 players. Together you fight through the Colosseum's deadly waves in co-op survival, revive teammates who go down, and take on boss fights like the War Lion, Undead Brute and Cerberus for better rewards.

• Squad size: 4 players in co-op survival
• What you do together: survive deadly waves, revive downed allies
• Boss fights: War Lion, Undead Brute and Cerberus, with better rewards for beating them

GloryBound's co-op survival is built around squads of four players — that's the number the game's official description gives for its CO-OP SURVIVAL feature. In practice, that means you and three friends take on the arena as one group. What the squad actually does together, how the three classes fit into a four-player lineup, and where the squad setup pays off most are all covered below.

The setting behind all of this is a gladiator arena survival game inspired by Ancient Rome. You break free from prison and battle your way through a Roman Colosseum filled with waves of enemies and fierce bosses, growing stronger alongside your squad as you go.

What a squad of four actually does together

Co-op survival isn't just four players standing in the same arena. The squad loop looks like this:

1. Fight the waves together. Your squad pushes through the Colosseum's deadly waves of enemies as a group.
2. Revive downed teammates. When an ally goes down during the waves, teammates can revive them so the squad keeps pushing through together instead of losing a member mid-run.
3. Take on the boss fights. Squads face off against the War Lion, the Undead Brute and Cerberus, and beating them earns better rewards.

Reviving is the part that makes the squad size matter. A downed squadmate can be brought back into the fight by their teammates — one of the main advantages the four-player co-op design is built around. Reviving allies is listed as a core part of the co-op survival feature itself, not an occasional bonus. If you want the finer details of how reviving works, the revive teammates guide covers that in depth.

How squads cover the three classes

GloryBound has three classes, and a squad of four gives you room to cover different combat styles:

How you divide these roles is up to your group. The class descriptions come straight from the game, but splitting them across a squad is how they relate to team play, not an enforced rule. The practical upside of mixing them is covering the basics: someone holding the line up close, someone with reach, and someone striking from range. For a closer look at each one, see the classes overview or the individual class guides for the gladiator, archer and lancer.

Get stronger before the tougher waves

The waves get tougher as your squad pushes deeper, and the game expects you to train for it. Players build strength in the gym through training so they can handle the tougher waves ahead alongside their squad. Training comes before attempting the harder waves — the natural rhythm is to train up, then rejoin your squad for the next push. The gym guide breaks down the training system in detail.

Boss fights are where the squad pays off

The three named bosses — the War Lion, the Undead Brute and Cerberus — are the highlights of the survival structure, and beating them pays better rewards. Facing them as a squad of four means you have allies beside you — and reviving downed teammates is part of the co-op survival design your squad is fighting through. The bosses guide goes deeper into each fight.
