Randomness and insufficient resources for leveling up in the Colosseum.

This isn't funny anymore. I'm going through a new cycle. And on today's boss, I got nothing. 6%. The boss just wipes everything out with one masukha. How am I supposed to progress? How can I get characters above 28?

Level 34? I’m inclined to believe you haven’t bought any packs (you said something about that in a previous thread), so how good is your RNG? What about stars? I’m stuck at 27 and 26 myself.

I’ve reached t3 on all bosses, but with Lv34 Kleya and Lv 33 Vel, Cinta I’m not really in danger of reaching t4 on any of them at the moment. 

Someone mentioned in another thread that the lack of a leader in the first 3 era characters has been detrimental to our progress, and I’m inclined to agree. Kleya’s basic hits like a truck early in each battle, but the longer it wears on the less damage she does and the less damage the bosses take, so it feels to me as though the progress in each tier is not linear which adds to a sense of delayed progression. 

I noticed this on two accounts. The third tier is really tough. On one account, I was able to get some really lucky randoms. And finally, I managed to level up characters past level 28, and only two of them. But on the other account, I had no such luck, and it's just stuck at level 28 with no progress. While there wasn't enough currency in the previous tiers, now I'm seriously short on parts.

At the beginning of this era, I actually thought it was better than the last one, now I've changed my mind.

I noticed a pattern where you could normally progress an additional tier with each new release. I think I'm still on tier two for a couple of the bosses. The damage output is ridiculous - and I know you shouldn't blindly say "this feels bad" if you don't have the evidence to back it up, but this feels worse than before.
