Maki Spreadsheets and I are not getting along and that is probably my own fault, but, if useful, (Pre-Sunday update, outdated)
These are my notes from
a run 3 runs with
Vanatora in this build (I had tinctures and decided to try it), running with two raw fodder dragons.
I tanked some turns intentionally and used some potions, to get a better idea what some of these, especially casters, do.
Worth noting - I am using Haste more than is efficient, so that I can get a more consistent idea of creature speed, and taking some hits I do not have to to see what abilities they use (I do try to Defend for that at least). Any wipes might have been avoidable had I gone for maximum efficiency, or I might have run out of breath and wiped anyway.
I decided on a target fodder level of 7 for assessment time. So far, I am 2/2 getting them to level 6 in one run, 0/2 for level 7.
No timestamps, I am usually multitasking when in the Coliseum, so that is not useful data. No bosses this run.
M = Melee
C = Caster
Unexplained shorthand names are the creatures that were already in Mire, hopefully recognizable in context.
nAtk - normal melee attack
winded - not enough breath left for Eliminate

From here on, I have to pay too much attention to things not FR, so I will probably only manage element notes. I hope this is helpful.
PS,
partly for laughs, my notes on my latest encounter, written in real time,
Fungal Garden x2 / Armored Colony x1
heeeere comes the dodging*
YUP - FG dodged once
DIE, JERKS
AC dropped a familiar (again)**
*These and the wolves seem to be the new dodgy breath-drainers in the crowd
**this is 2/2 of any new familiars I have so far
Bosses did start showing up, but
I still have not seen any of either catfish. (well now I have. Muckbottom Catfish - Plague, melee; Furry Fiddle - Light, melee,
I mistargeted and killed it before I found out its attack type)
@
Maki Edit - I did end up tracking encounters through the end of my day's fodder supply, and tracking new drop totals (only totals, not per encounter, nor old items as I did not clear those out of Hoard first, so I am not sure how useful this is?). Currently, that will mean another postful of spam, so let me know if I should add it?
