Well there's a reason why it's called "Themed arena". You'll have different themes to try in arena for that session. One other theme I'm aware of is "Double chase". For example, doing a hit combo with shark kisame's chase triggers twice.

Just deal with it if you don't like the theme.

Personally, i like this more than 3v3 arena with all those bugs.

I only agree in terms of boring, where players play same teams everywhere.

I thought Konoha had wide range of usable ninjas other than Naruto 6P and Shisui.

Shisui hits way to hard in Arena (everyone knows it). And with no barriere breaker ninjas in the Arena ofc everyone is gonna run Shisui. Why people pretend that in No-Main Arena nobody would run N6P is beyond my understanding.

Arenas are always going to be annoying in p2w games, but I still agree. The no-main variant was interesting because it constrained chase chain possibilities and made for teams that absolutely could not exist anywhere else. This one is just the same ninja as you always see in the same format. All the battles are essentially over in round 2 and decided by whoever has the higher initiative.

This.

The lack of variation made the event boring. At least with the no main theme, you could see a lot of interesting lineups.

That's exactly what I did. I finished it then never touched the * thing again. I never even bothered changing lineups for the entire event.

At least with the no main theme, I find myself going back to the event from time to time trying lineups like full edo, full mist, etc. but here...I used nar6, shisui, madara fire then that's it.

I actually didn't use nether of them since i don't own them.

They are not required at all to reach six paths.

Teams that let you do it without them?

Water main, madara founder, kurenai, chiriku (shark bomb team)

Water main, madara founder, itachi full sb, kiba new year (second shark bomb team).

Hokage minato, iruka, wb asuma, earth main.

Lee full sb, guy, iruka/wb asuma, earth main.

Kurama, kushina habanero, danzo/hokage minato/itachi susano'o, wind main.

Danzo iruka madara founder lightning main.

Orochimaru bond barrier, chiriku, hokage minato, earth main.

Fire main, danzo, madara founder, itachi susano'o.

Danzo, sasuke rs, itachi anbu, mb.

Water main, edo tobirama (move 1), yamato, naruto ramen.

Edo minato edo hashirama kushina normal water/wind main.

But there are more. Those ones are the first that came up to my mind without shisui and naruto six paths.

There are konoha that break the barrier (itachi, yamato, sasuke, hashirama both, orochimaru kt)

And there are other konohas with barrier (danzo, orochimaru with bonds, sage hashi with bonds).

I m a f2p and i finished today themed arena and i m very pleased with main arena bcs i c*e shark bomb,i don t have six paths or shisui like everyone so all that amount of frags and selas were rly nice and i didn t stress so much with it like last theme arena

good ole oasis eh? giving us a thumbs up *on but no thumbs down one. Always nice of them to listen to their customers, providing they only have to hear exactly what they want to

Themes I'd like to see: No chases, Max chakra 20, No status effects, no healing, Element only ninja (lightning/fire/etc), 1 ninja x4 (4 copies of the same ninja that you choose), x% damage to all your ninja at the end of the round based on chakra leftover (80 chakra left = 80% life damage to all ninja).

@Picklejuicy 1 ninja x4 (4 copies of the same ninja that you choose)
Please no,i dont wanna fight vs 4 naruto sosp xD

That team would've been super weak.

I believe something like SB Leex4, Chojuro x4 etc. would be dominating there.

its boring, but it gives free rewards! Using minato jonin *sui team I go 24 wins, and lost only when I gave win to group friend who needed 1 win to six patths. If that's boring then what about ranked arena?

I totally agree to this!

The event is very boring.

I own neither of them and I did reach 6 path on the first day also.

It's just boring to see those 2 are 8/10 matches.
