I don't get it, so you're saying Gladiator Freya is better than the rest because of her DoT + stun? Gladiator Vincent offers a stun + bubble that grants him more chances to survive in the battlefield. Put her on the 2nd row? What is she, some sort of one shot wonder? I'd rather put her on the first row so she can deal damage via normal attacks(unless you have 3 other melees, but a ranged unit would be of more benefit if that were the case), the -25% dmg can't really justify for such a damage loss, really. For Dragoon, hearing you say that 35% chance to proc is small makes me wonder, have you tried using a Dragoon Vincent? their aura works the same, everyone INCLUDING the aura holder has a said chance to proc a stun on the enemy. I can kinda accept your reason for Berserker Freya, but the survivability of both Berserker Freya and Vincent are pretty much equal due to Vincent inflicting self-damage to himself if he were to use his skill. Now... seeing Warlord as the third in your ranking sounds unreasonable, she's basically a better Vincent Warlord, need I say more? I just don't see Gladiator Freya as someone who can actually change the tide of battle by a large margin, especially when you're deciding on putting her on the 2nd row.

Personally, if this is just limited to arena, I completely agree with the decision to rank gladiator 1st due to the fact that her skill is on a 6 turn cooldown and has a 2 turn stun. The two turn stun and the increase in damage over a gladiator vincent is much more important in arena especially since I would be aiming the stun on a 7 turn cd mystic (mind warders) or healer (team heals, shields and def up). As my arena team is consist of my own Mind Warder Zedd and Elementalist Kiera in which a gladiator Freya successfully allows my Zedd to get his skill off. The DoT also helps finish off Mystics and Healers who have high Mag in which my zedd kiera combo cant kill

I would however rank Berserker higher at 2nd. You know what you are getting with a berserker, a one shot wonder. Even if it dies, it did its job. The only reason i view it inferior to Gladiator is due to it being single target while there is a chance u get to stun more than one as a gladiator. 
Warlord would be 3rd i guess due to pull which is pretty good but in arena, most of the time you have another body in front of you and it doesn't really do much.

This is personal bias but i really do think that Dragoon is the weakest out of all the choices. Yes her aura is decent-good and her ult does stun, but the biggest gripe i have with dragoon is that you need to give up your position in order to use your ult.

As usual.. i should have placed a disclaimer over every video i make... all the opinions are voiced as to my own preferences and thoughts.

Freya in general is a rare unit being a valiant. personally why i ranked gladiator as #1 is simple. i value any pvp tier unit over pve, being the one of the two active stunners of 4, disabling units in the back line or even in a row, on top dishing a chunk of massive damage from her aura boost and DoT thereafter. any champ, ranger will be destroyed in arena eventually. you actually keep freya for her skills and want to keep her alive in arena. putting her on the 2nd row will let her only receive 75% dmg incoming. we are talking about Freya here, 'not vincent. please keep to the topic of the discussion. comparing apple and oranges wont do any good to any form of justice. both heroes have difference in their skillsets and rank differently individually.
my opinion again, pvp able heroes over pve only heroes, because in pve, pvp heroes do good in them too, and everything in pve is standardized. but in arena it's extremely diverse in builds.

doesn't really matter much though, as she can activate her aura ability all by herself
and her skill allow her to reach the backline of the enemy and stun them, it gives time for your backline to attack the enemy
