The [[Glass Cannon]] uses powerful attacks to quickly blow his enemies to smithereens, but the '''Gradual Grinder''' sneers at such a lack of patience. Instead, the Gradual Grinder prefers to use [[Death By a Thousand Cuts|abilities that deal damage over time, steadily wearing his enemies down]], leaving them too crippled to be much of a threat to him - which is good, because typically he [[Squishy Wizard|isn't much tougher]] than the [[Glass Cannon]]. (though [[Stone Wall]]/[[Fragile Speedster]] Grinders are not unheard of)

Most commonly, Gradual Grinders are spellcasters who specialize in curses, hexes, or other [[Standard Status Effects]]. Some [[Fragile Speedster|Roguish]] characters also fight like this, poisoning or literally bleeding their foes to death while they nimbly dodge their increasingly feeble counter-attacks. More rarely, some heavily-armed and -armored fighters prefer to defeat their foes through blood loss, or debilitating spells if they are [[Magic Knight]]s.
