Yeah me too. I don't really like it not so much because of the matching but rather because it just takes a ridiculously long time to finish one match. With other more important things to do, there's not really enough time for some people to really attempt to do zenith and so not find it worth the time.

"Who else hates Zenith Arena?"

Bad players

Maybe you should try and use ninjas that does not cost high in zenith since you're more likely to get initiative 3/5 of the matches. I mean people like you who don't understand this and decide to run water main shark are very easy to beat.

No idea, never tried it even once.

There one thing I dislike about zenith - takes way too much time within such a small time window which not everyone can spare.

well , zenith is about strategies , i'm soo sorry if you take this like insults , but only the bad players or who don't know how to play would say things like this , but i don't say you bad at game , but your strategies what make you win at zenith

Not that i don't like Zenith but i'm just lazy to do it xD .. First two months of this event was released, i played it cuz the day where the zenith was open is really good (during wed/sat local-GNW days where we don't have opponent, so nothing to do at all) .. But the next months, its at the same time with other events so i kinda like, felt it is not worth to do and neglect to participate on those timed-events .. now Laziness for that arena rooted on me already xD .. wahahaha

The only issue i have with Zenith is that it takes quite some time. Spreading out over more days would be nice.

lol, so dude you can select that not join the Zenith arena

So I can get 3000 cps every month and use it buy rare ninja or others

While, on the other hand, players who run water main with poison tai or that run skewering with experimental ninjutsu are quite hard to beat given the average lineup you find there, overall if they use monkey king as summon mystery.

@op:

In zenith you win on the bad ninjas side more than on the good ninjas side, so who you choose among the ninjas that cost 0/1/2 is the key factor.

The idea is to get 3 decent ninjas (dodge whatever costs 6 or higher points unless is hokage minato that in arena is too op) and 6 bad ninjas so that you win on the 2nd-4th matches and you have a good chance to own initiative 3 times.

Generally the best mains for this feature are wind (clones, flower guard and dance of impetus/sand dust op) and water (skewering every round + sure chaos and op clone with monkey king summon mystery op if you face wind or lightning main and poison op if you face earth and fire main and the best versatility with bad ninjas the game has yo offer) with fire main as the 3rd best option. Lightning and earth main are too dependant on the other 3 ninjas to be an option for this specific modality.

I'm still experimenting with this to see what works, so of course I'm gonna lose some matches vs players who knew the trick to get more initiative.

Now I know that too, so don't worry about me being "bad". ;)

In real game where we focus on one team it's a different story as well.

But this thing is just too time consuming and annoying considering the RNG.

guys the rules for zenith should be changed you wait 30 days for it to appear and u loose 1 battle and u cant qualifie anymore thats not fair or u skip 1 day and thats it some people cant play myb on that days also some players loose 3 4 battles and get nothing and they waited 30 days also some mains are way too op for it liek wind main the clones destroy all also he has hes rasssen skill which refresh every round also in zenith if u go first and u loose the first battle theres like a 80% chance that the opponent will win because he goes 2 times in a row first that aint really fair I think some rules really need to be changed

If you don't have immobile ninja initiative doesn't do much, unless you give them paralysis.

Thing is, a lot of things that don't work in normal game work here so it needs some getting used to.

BTW I beat a lot of people higher power than me, this is just a different game. Luck plays a bigger factor here than anywhere else.

but everyone uses immobile ninjas or at least paralysis but look at this if u use water main and you go second you get 2 times in a row to go first and use shark bomb jutsu which chaoses your whole team but I am okay with ninja chooses and mains is about mostly luck also experience but still is okay I mean nobody said is gonna be easy in battles, thats only mains the other 3 ninjas in your team if u choose right can counter that main and hes team the problem is the other things I said the 30 days and 1 loose and thats it not fair or liek I said u wait 30 days and it turns out u cant play on that day and thats it again or u cant play exactly at 18:00 when it starts and u can manage only 1 battle in that day or a battle takes really long and u can do only 1 because u gonna miss the other events and other things

Dude even if you miss a day you can get all fights in.

nahh it depends first u have to start it for sure from 18:00 second you have to do all 4 fights for sure and it depends if there be people that late in last fights also if u can manage to do all 4 fights in time before it finishes because 1 battle can take like 40 minutes

I learned from mistakes and got a victory now vs Wind Main using Fire, and she had initiative 3 times. Won 2 battles then she quit cause I had Itachi Susano'o left.

Too bad it's only 2 victories, last time I did this actually got coupons and thought it was alright event.

Ninjas like Yagura and Fuu Yamanaka can turn the tables.

This is my only real complaint. Time window is too small with matches taking at least 20-30 minutes and so many other events happening at the same time. It's either super stressful if you try to fit in so many things, or you end up just skipping other actual useful events.
