    God damn I hate Queen Sipla. Just fucking annihilates units no matter what you do......

    Also, how often do you get people to join your rooms? When I auto-join, every room gets full, but I'll go 15+ without ever seeing a person join.

    Queen Sipla buff wipes (including mitigation). That's why she sucks so much.

    So looks like we get Coli soon. Has anyone started planning out teams? Global Exclusives should mean that our teams are pretty different from JP teams. Worth bullshitting some strategy?

    Right now, since I only have Lord Selena at 6* (not evolving a Lord) she isn't really an option for me. I'm considering the following:

    Offense:
    Randolph Lead (maybe, still really undecided for offense lead)
    Rouche
    Ultor
    Isterio
    Nyami (48 DC on 16 hits is hard to pass up...)

    Defense:
    Laberd lead? Or Deimos? Deimos is tempting but lose 40% DEF for team.
    Rouche
    Ultor (with BoU)
    Nyami/Isterio/Zeruiah (either Angel Idol or go for % chance to reduce damage / recover HP. I don't know yet. Nyami would need her Bells)
    Phoenix (if I can pull one tomorrow)

    Hadaron is tempting but I think poses difficulties in longer fights since you are p. sure to get fucking ganked? I target Hadaron leads specifically in normal Arena for easy OTKO. I think Gazia is blocked because of cost and not-really-great ES. Avani is good? Mikael is good? I don't have either so hard to judge. Same with Korzan. Haile is great and if you I didn't have Randolph I would use Haile for sure. I don't think Allanon is really worth it? Could give him BC on hit sphere + Sacred Crystal and put him on team with Laberd lead and hope he BBs for +12 BC instantly...but at that point wouldn't you rather have someone like Rouche use BB? Tridon and Deimos are both tempting for high HP/damage reduction options but both have high cost and shitty DC so idk. Andaria would be great if she had HP support, but she doesn't, so Rouche LS > Andaria LS, and Andaria sub is kinda useless.

    What are you guys thinking? Which GEX units are you expecting to break up the JP meta?

    Main thing is... Does colosseum allow for spheres and Elgif Extra Skills? Because Challenge Arena doesn't and that has a huge impact on which units are "Meta".

    I honestly don't remember if they do allow or not.

    Also, found a fun, full auto battle (no UBB) lvl 7 Elgif farming party.

    Double Avani lead or Avani/Randolph
    Hadaron
    Ultor
    Mikael
    Zeruiah (can replace with Reud)

    Kills the Elgif in 2-3 turns!

    I don't know that a full double-team hit team will work all that well since you only have 7 units to make two teams; seems the defense team would be sorely lacking so you'd hopefully be going for perfect victories when you negate/tie the other teams formation.

    With OE starters, I would think mono teams are probably the better over-all teams for offense/defense, if you can field them. I have an Anima Selena, two Quartz, and two Iris so I'll probably do a Mono water team for offense/defense; Selena, 2x Iris, Lune, and maybe Farzen, for offense, and then swap Lune/Farzen for two Quartz, for the Defensive team. Not sure if Savia , Medina, or Tridon should go instead of Lune/Farzen.

    Pretty sure you get to use spheres and elgifs.

    They do allow for spheres and elgif. That Autobattle lv7 elgif team looks a lot like mine except I use Nyami over Hadaron and Laberd over Mikael. Can also try Elza/Chrome leads and Nyami lead works too but only paired with Randolph I think cuz Nyami has zero BB support. All my Avani friends disappeared so I have been doing with Randolph+Nyami

    OE are about a month after Colo starts so I wasn't considering them for now. Obviously once they are out then yeah Eze/Selena/Lance come into play. You will probably want some BC on hit LS / ES or spheres for your group though. From what I've been reading (and implementing) units like Rouche will just fuck your day up, Selena or otherwise, if you let the other team get BB before you and they use it (since Rouche bypasses Selena angel idol).

    Colosseum isn't out until April 6th, according to the Maintenance message, and OE are supposedly released April 11th, so there won't be a large gap before OE can be used.

    Regarding Rouche, that strategy seems to rely on a Sacred Staff, which most people won't have. RNGsus will be, but I don't think it's something to worry a lot about. Actually, it might be fun to do a Lugina + O.E Starter squad, just because.

    I didn't think it really relied on SS but maybe, I just assumed that was a nice angel idol for Rouche but the Rouche still being a 2-hit powerhouse was independent.

    I guess if OE is that close then yeah, obviously OE will be useful. Interesting that Japan has had OE for a long time and full OE squads aren't really used in colo much.

    He's still a beast, but the defensive strategy was him solo + SS (ES use) and +BB on hit sphere so that he couldn't die and then hopefully fired his BB off, killing the squad on his turn.

    Full O.E squad probably isn't used because they have more useful skills to use, making them less useful if you have the other meta units.

    I can't PST. Thought I was gonna be able to squeeze a Ghrawen trial run or two before leaving but guess not unless servers go up a bit early, lame.

    Pretty nice, but the LE units are getting out of hand. Too many, too fast, and people are getting farther behind curve quicker if they aren't able to get them.

    Tell me about it. I finally got a "new" unit and it was Cyan.

    No
    Avant
    Randolph
    Rouche
    Isterio
    Nyami
    Mikael
    Zeruiah
    Laberd
    etc.....

    Pretty much any unit that has come out in the past 4-5 months are not in my roster despite playing everyday.
