I don't like the colisseum at all, I find it tedious and boring, imo FR has a bad battling system that I cannot for the life of me find intrest in. I thought maybe once the free eliminates came from Galore battling would become fun, so i slapped both on 2 of my coliseum dragons. It was a mistake I now realize I should've just sold them for money. And that is one of the things I will ALWAYS regret doing. bECAUSE these gaolers are expensive and that money would be SO useful rn. But I am a mental flop and wasn't thinking and slapped BOTH on the team I touch maybe once a month.
So now i'm trying to find a way to get my money's worth out of this team and am looking for suggestions on how to not get bored while colliseum grinding because my underleveled team and my need for Gaoler genes are forcing me into the Coli.

I feel your pain! I don't understand how people spend so much time in the coli when it's so so boring. The solution I found is to multitask. I enter split view mode on my mac, set up Netflix on one side and the coli on the other. Since I've been grinding the coli for so long on keyboard mode, the motions are automatic for me. I don't even have to think about what I'm doing. When I check back on the coli, I usually will have earned a bunch of loot and gained a significant amount of xp without feeling like I did any of the work!

Keyboard mode and finding other things to do simultaneously (music, netflix, podcasts, etc.) are key!! Also, double checking your builds to make sure they are optimized given the eliminates you've put on them wouldn't be a bad idea!

I didn't know there was a keyboard mode! Part of my problem with the coliseum was the never ending clicking, maybe this could solve my problem?

I've been doing a pinkerlocke, so far that's been pretty fun. The risk of perma-death and being forced to level venue by venue really gives you some actual challenge and risks. It also helps that you only do a certain amount of battles per day so it doesn't get stale.
As for grinding for fodder and items... Yeah only doable with podcasts and youtube really. (Standard for grinding anything really.)

Test run for keyboard is going well, it's slightly less annoying than clicking but maybe i can get used to it? Thank you all for the suggestions

I used to use the mouse and absolutely hated keyboard when I tried it briefly, but after hearing so many people praise it, I gave it more of a chance and started using it for longer intervals.
Now it's instinct and I love it and will never go back. Keyboard bindings are amazing because each battle lasts no longer than 5 seconds and I get tons of loot to hoard sell/throw to the AH and enough food to fill all my dragons and food stores to the brim. Also, the occasional rare drop is awesome. I multi-task like most others so I always check my specialty later just in case I missed something(while watching youtube on my second screen).
I occasionally go as far as to use my chromebook to battle(which I bought for trips, haha!) so that the video on my computer doesn't lag my coliseum team at all.

I use keyboard mode and listen to read-aloud horror stories on youtube to occupy my brain. Unit 522 is good for that

I don't use keyboard mode, but mostly this.
It's not about making Coli fun. It's about making Coli mindless enough that you can do it out of the corner of your vision while putting 90% of your attention on something that [i]is[/i] fun. Like watching youtube.

Oooh more tips! It's been a bit and Keyboard is growing on me. Battles are faster and i'm currently blasting some pokemon battle music as a distraction and I feel pumped. Im so glad for the advice. BTW does anyone know any good guides for battling and distibuting points? I feel that'd help my grinding go faster
