Ninja exams are meant to be difficult, just check a youtube vid, they almost always work.

I have 78k and I hit ninja exam 180

I'm using Edo Hiruzen with 8.3k Initiative but still can't get his Mystery to go off round 1 without him being CC'd and my whole team getting annihilated in the first round

blitz teams won't do you much good in NE i feel. i passed up to 180 with like 50k bp using SN-k.gaara-wind-iruka

try will of d's guides here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8zXJlLC8vY

Wow ok I see now. I don't have Sage Naruto just yet, is there a substitute I c*e in his place?

P.S. A lot of people saying this method does not work anymore because WM mystery now costs 20

yea that's understandable, i see.

well the main point is that you can go onto youtube and search for guides that can help you at your power level. there's usually a basic strategy where u just target the units that mystery in that round (interrupt -> aoe -> control -> aoe -> control etc.) and if u can manage that with your own custom team that's fine too.

I used the videos on this channel to do exams myself, they all work very well.

Initative doesnt work on Ninja Exam, if the Exam says that the npc attacks first like in ninja exam 135 (gnw Choji) Then he will attack first no matter what.
