    5. I’ll try Hamstrung. Even crippled, I won’t be beaten. – You have cripple condition during the time in arena.
    6. I’ll try Tremors. A duel in the middle of an earthquake? How dramatic. – From time to time while you are in arena, you get knocked down.
    7. I’ll take on a Crowd Favorite. Being outnumbered never stopped me. – You fight an additional opponent inside of arena.
