I'd actually say Berserkers have it worse since this level is really punishing them for their poor spellcasting abilities and there aren't enough alternate resources to get them through ten bosses. The monster classes also are going to have trouble; Vampire effectively has no way to beat Bleaty or regenerate mana/health between boss fights, Half-Dragon is utterly hopeless against magic resist in the current version, although the Gorgon might be able to pull it off on a longshot.
But yeah, because of Bleaty's presence you will be scumming for CYDSTEPP, and reaching level 10 is a forgone conclusion, so the fighter effectively has no class features going into the arena. If he can prevail, then anyone without a crippling weakness can as well.
