So I've been noticing a distinct lack of Ninja Exam strategies for Breeze Dancer, largely because A) it seems like nobody likes playing Wind, and B) why try to figure out lineups with Wind when you can switch over to any Main you want? Well, to remedy this, I'm going to try and post the lineups I've used to beat Ninja Exam so far -- as only a Wind Main. I don't want to switch to another main, partially out of sheer pigheadedness and partially because I love Wind too much, so it may take a really long time to get to higher level exams.... fair warning.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXAM 90-99:
Ninjas: Wind Main 5*, Gaara 4*, GNW Kankuro 3*, Ningendo Pein 3*
Talents: 23231 OR 22231
Summon: Bull (also c*e Rhino)
Tactic: Ghost Kill (this feature wasn't added when I beat exams 90-99, but I think this is the one that works best)
Lineup:
Ningendo Pein MAIN Gaara
x (Wind Clone) (Wind Clone)
GNW Kankuro (Puppet) (Wind Clone)
GENERAL TACTICS:Exam 90
Take out Sasori ASAP, hope Ningendo Pein survives long enough to interrupt all the other ninjas' mysteries.
Round 1: Skill Gaara for the Wind ninja buff, but wait until after Itachi has skilled. Otherwise, the barrier gets cancelled. Kankuro will auto-initiate combos on Kisame, so he should hopefully be close to dying by the end of the round. Let Deidara skill.
Round 2: Use Main's skill to kill puppets and combo Sasori. Kisame should hopefully be dead from AOE damage.
Round 3: Use Main's skill to kill resummoned puppets and finish off Sasori. Use Ningendo Pein to interrupt Deidara again.
Round 4: Use Kankuro to distribute AOE damage and debuffs, as well as start a combo on Itachi. Gaara c*so skill this turn if you have the chakra/barrier up.
Round 5: Skill Gaara for the barrier, and use Ningendo to interrupt Itachi; this will ensure he doesn't put up the barrier again.
Round 6: Skill Kankuro to finish off Itachi and Deidara.
Exam 91-94
In all honesty, I don't really remember these ones, because I went thorugh them really quickly :/ Just follow the same attack order as above, but prioritize on ninja with AOE damage, medics/healers, etc.
Exam 95
Let Gaara and clones tank, and pick your targets wisely. Kill in this order: Asuma, Gai, Kakashi, then Kurenai.
Round 1: Skill Gaara for the Wind ninja buff. Let him and the clones absorb most of the damage. Kankuro's standard attack guarantees a combo, which should put enough damage on Asuma to kill him next turn.
Round 2: Use Main's skill to combo Gai; the combo should interrupt him. Ideally, the AOE damage from the mystery should kill Asuma; if not, pray that Ningendo Pein survives!
Round 3: Use Main's skill to combo Kakashi, who should get interrupted by the combo. Asuma and Gai should be dead by now.
Round 4: Use Kankuro to distribute AOE damage and debuffs, as well as start a combo on Kakashi to interrupt his mystery. Gaara c*so skill this turn if you have the chakra for added AOE damage.
Round 5: Skill Gaara for the barrier, and use Ningendo to interrupt Kurenai.
Round 6: Skill Kankuro to finish off Kakashi and/or Kurenai.
Exam 96-99:
I didn't change teams because I was stubborn and too lazy, and there are definitely easier lineups to use than this one :P But basically, the attack order is the same as stated above, but aim to kill the actual ninjas first and not the puppets. For the puppets, I relied on Kankuro's ignition and poison debuffs to kill them slowly. Again, not the most effective strategy, but it worked for me.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXAM 100-102:
Ninjas: Wind Main 5*, Iruka 4*, Tobi 5*, Sage Naruto 3*
Talents: 33131 OR 32131
Summon: Ninja Dog Shiba (also c*e Dog of Hell)
Tactic: Ghost Kill
Lineup:
MAIN Sage Naruto (Wind Clone)
x (Wind Clone) (Wind Clone)
Iruka Tobi (Naruto Clone)
GENERAL TACTICS
Exam 100
Let clones absorb damage, and pray that Tobi dodges for his life.
Round 1: Use Iruka to interrupt Hashirama. If you placed your ninjas in the right order, the clones should also have shields to make them a little more hardy, so that the combos can be wasted on clones.
Round 2: Use Sage Naruto to combo on Tobirama, and then use Tobi to do more damage to him as well. the AOE damage from SN will bring down the other ninjas' health too. Minato is going to skill; wait until he skills to use Main's reset mystery, which will clear off any lingering Tag debuffs.
Round 3: Use Sage Naruto to combo on Tobirama again, thus preventing his mystery. Tobirama should be dead now, but if not, use Tobi to finish him off. Otherwise, you c*e Iruka to interrupt Minato's mystery, and Tobi to do some more damage.
Round 4: Cooldown hell for you. Hashirama is going to skill, as is Sarutobi. Sarutobi's AOE shouldn't be able to kill anyone, and Hashirama's barrier doesn't do any damage first round. Hopefully, Sage Naruto's standard attack can initiate a combo that will kill Hashirama this round.
Round 5: Use Sage Naruto to finish off Hashirama if he's still alive. Then, use Tobi to combo on Sarutobi, who should be dead by the end of the combo.
Exam 101
Let Tobi take the brunt of the damage, and kill in the following order: Sage Jiraiya, Zabuza, Water Main, and Beheading Kakashi.
Round 1: Use Iruka to interrupt Zabuza. If you try to interrupt and can't, restart and just hit Jiraiya instead. Zabuza will Immobilize Sage Naruto, but not before he combos on the Water Main clone.
Round 2: Use Tobi to hit Jiraiya, initiating a combo that hopefully kills him. Jiraiya is the main combo linker, so once he's down it's a matter of killing everyone one by one. Kakashi is going to skill this turn, aiming for Tobi; he might die, but should resurrect himself shortly after. At the end of the round, skill the Main to reset mysteries.
Round 3: Use Sage Naruto to take out Zabuza, and the Tobi to do damage to the Water Main. The Water Main's clone should be gone now, but Tobi might be dead. Keep going!
Round 4: Use Iruka on the Water Main, and let Kakashi kill him. Let Sage Naruto combo off his standard attack to kill the Water Main, and let Kakashi waste his standard attacks on clones.
Round 5: Use Sage Naruto's mystery to kill Kakashi.
Exam 102
Let clones absorb damage, and kill in the following order: Ningendo Pein, Konan, Wind Main, then Chikoshudo Pein.
Round 1: Use Iruka to damage Ningendo Pein.
Round 2: Use Sage Naruto to initiate a combo off of Ningendo Pein. Hopefully, this kills him; if not, he will probably go for Sage Naruto or Iruka to cause Chaos. Use Tobi to finish off Ningendo Pein if this is the case; otherwise, go for anyone else. Konan is also going to skill this turn; she's going to put Tag on any ninja she attacks, so wait until the end of the round to use Main's reset mystery to clear all debuffs.
Round 3: Use Sage Naruto on the Wind Main, killing her before the mystery starts. Use Tobi on Konan - hopefully, both Wind Main and Konan are dead now.
Round 4: Use Iruka on Chikoshudo Pein, and let Sage Naruto's standard attack initiate a combo to kill her.
