(comment 4/3) ... I thought I would only need to split it into 3 heh heh -_-' At my current level, after beating the 4th round I've often already lost about half or more of my party, and the speed at which they kill my raiders is faster than what I observed even just 50 levels ago. The way things seem to be going for me, I might be unable to beat 4th round of the 1st wave once my raiders are level 500.

(comment 3/3) The only possible explanation I can think of is that the strength of the arena monsters is scaling based on my raiders' level, but the scaling for the monsters is actually faster than how much tougher my raiders get as they increase in level. Is this a bug, or are the arena monsters supposed to scale with the raiders' level? If it's a bug then it obviously needs to be fixed, but if it's supposed to be that way... well, then it still needs to be changed since it's a poor game design to have an arena with, presumably, multiple waves and bosses, but for which it becomes progressively more difficult to even get past the first wave as the player levels up. There doesn't seem to be any point to even having an arena with multiple waves and rounds if it's always just as hard to get past the first wave, and nearly impossible to ever get past the second.

(comment 2/3) However, to my annoyance it's the opposite: it's now actually _harder_ to beat the first wave in the arena, and it seems to be getting harder and harder to get through each round as my raiders level up. The arena monsters are dealing more damage as my raiders' level up at a rate which outpaces how much HP the raiders gain as they level up, leading to my current observation that the monsters are actually killing my raiders faster and faster as I level up. The monsters are also gaining HP as I level up, though I haven't yet been able to determine if their HP gain is faster or slower than my damage gain with each level, and thus am not sure if they're getting relatively harder to kill. The monsters are also gaining HP as I level up, though I haven't yet been able to determine if their HP gain is faster or slower than my damage gain with each level, and thus am not sure if they're getting harder to kill.

(Comment 1/3) The strength of the arena monsters appears to be scaling with the level of my raiders - actually, faster than the level of my raiders. At some point when my raiders were below level 200 (around 100-150 I think, but I can't remember exactly), I could get through the first wave, including the boss. Now my characters are level 342, so I would think that it should be really easy to get through the first wave and boss in the arena, just like how it's really easy to beat the first 3 raids now that I'm a much higher level (I don't even come close to needing to use any items for those ones now).
