Crimm here again ... In an effort to continue to bring you the latest news from around the web on MMO's, I have decided to do another Strategies collection. This is much like our Ulduar Strategies collection.

To get started, let's do a quick overview. Patch 3.2 brought the Crusaders' Coliseum.

The Crusaders' Coliseum is an arena complex located in the center of the Argent Tournament Grounds, in northeastern Icecrown. It was added with the opening of the Argent Tournament in patch 3.1. With the release of patch 3.2, the Crusaders' Coliseum was completed. It holds new challenges in the form of boss encounters for players, and it contributes to the next tier of gear in the game, tier 9.

The Crusaders' Coliseum includes

• Trial of the Crusader, a new epic 10- and 25-player raid dungeon with five encounters, with each encounter being unlocked one week at a time
  
• A more intuitive structure for harder encounters. This raid dungeon has four different versions: 10-player, 25-player, 10-player Heroic, and 25-player Heroic, with each one using a separate lockout. The normal fights are found in the Trial of the Crusader while the heroic mode fights are inside the Trial of the Grand Crusader.
  
• Crusaders' Tribute! Each of the Heroic mode instances has a new tribute system that will limit players on the number of attempts they get in the Coliseum each week to present a greater challenge for the most battle-hardened heroes. Additional rewards can be earned depending on the number of attempts left in the tribute run each week when the final boss is defeated.
  
• Trial of the Champion, a new 5-player dungeon with three encounters that include Champion's Seals as each one is defeated.
  
• New tier of armor and weapons that are modeled with Alliance- or Horde-specific themes.
  

• Trial of the Crusader - I'm reading that the 10-man & 25-man are identical here, and that the 25-man requires no planning. (1 Source)
  
• Trial of the Champion
