do you keep most/all of your ninja at close to full health up to level nine?? this is pretty important as the first 9 stages are the easy level and you shud try not to lose much health on those

Also what i usually prefer is Neji rather than hinata in the trials..sometimes active initiator like neji who can control enemy works better... with neji, you aim to accupunture enemy who can potentially deal the most damage to your team (like fire main).. it is wise to stop ninja that cause damage over time ( ignite/poison ) from using their skill as these skills can really bring down your health in early levels.. Since you have Guy as well who can interrupt skills, use this at your advantage to interrupt skills effectively..Since your opponents are just a bot, just try a few times to look at their skill releasing pattern and counter it with yours

yea, for the most part if I use my main team, I don't really take any damage for the first 8 or so rounds, its when I get to the 9th round that I start to falter, and I just don't really have a good set up. Not sure how good Kankuro or Chiyo are, looking for good teams to use for survival outside of my main.

you need a team that will allow you to win, despite being severe underdog.

how i used to do it is start the day with survival, get as far as i can, if i stuggle i retreat (so i dont lose any ninjas). Go train and then hopefully im stronger by the end of the day.
Doesnt really work anymore at higher levels... too hard to power up significantly.

anyways. my kabuto, sai, kakashi, lightning main guide has helped me win many battles where the opponent is like 2k power more than me.

I only have Kabuto at 2 star, and don't have Sai at all yet, how good are either of them? anything that make them stand out?
