its actually pretty easy in a team, you can even auto it, ninjas will die but you should be able to push through if you have equal levels or 2 strong groupmates to carry. Its only challenging if you decide you want to solo it, so I feel this caters for both crowds; those that want to challenge themselves (compared to the joke of a SA we just had in Yagura), and those that feel they just want the rewards and auto it 6x with friends.
