Alright, so I liked this mode for the first few hours cause no one knew how to build their squads (including me) so it was pretty much just normal arena.

Now people are just going to specific units to win. The most prominent units are Juno-Seto, Paris, Avani, Rahgan, Selena, and Ultor. If you don't have the Angel Idol buff on at least one unit, you're almost sure to lose. If your offensive squad doesn't have enough damage, you're done. Even with all these things, as soon as your team doesn't attack the enemy immortals (my preferred term for units with Angel Idols) on the first turn, you can only pray that they don't activate their BB/SBB. If you want to use 7*, you'll need to have at least one of these units to even have a chance of beating the other people on this tier. In Colosseum, you're mainly watching your units fail to attack key opponents and then losing.

I've had some success with this setup though, for those who need help:

Offense: Rahgan lead   Randolph   Ultor   Quartz   Selena

Defense: Randolph lead, same squad.

The key units are Rahgan, Ultor, and Selena. Selena offers HoT to get your units to full HP in case they can't do it from HC alone (gives you a health advantage for the round), and she and Ultor offer their Angel Idols. Ultor can suck up single target attacks if any enemies survive thanks to Angel Idols or sheer tankiness. Rahgan is the damage, but he also gives DoT on his SBB, so if you manage to remove an Angel Idol buff on an enemy, the DoT will kill them for sure the next turn, if you survive.

Quartz is there for a little more of a chance of an Angel Idol, and is really a filler (replaceable with Isterio). Randolph is there for his LS when defending, and additional DoT, just in case. Ultor and Selena are replaceable with Phoenix. In fact, I plan to replace Randolph with Phoenix if I summon it. I don't recommend using my defense squad, since I'm only using it because I don't have Paris' 7* nor Juno-Seto, so if you have one of them, go with that.
