[i]A small tortoise emerges with a large stack of papers and spreadsheets.[/i] According to my calculations, when looking at distribution of enemies by venue and by elemental flight, then compared against elemental strengths and weaknesses, I believe the following information may be of use to those looking to enhance their Coliseum strategy. [b]Metrics: This is a numerical calculation based on: [list][*]Elemental Bolt casters [*]Frequency of casters [*]Meditate-using bosses[/list][/b] [url=https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7kgZuDQCH97Mjhkc3hBamRza0k]My raw data can be found here[/url]. Many thanks to the amazing @Sylvandyr for their spectacular coli tools and @osiem for the graphics. Special credit to @Daddyselephant for furnishing a constant supply of level 25s.
