i agree, thou there's a bit of rng involved, no way it's all about power, sure if you have abundant power, you have a chance to pass it without struggle, but i doubt about it, i wish the numbers inflicted on this NE would be the same for all, when receiving dmg, and alter them when you dont have X amount of stat required or so, some exams are more technical than others, approach NE as you were to approach a mmorpg raid, you need to know how the mechanics go, from there it's all about progressing, and if you cant, that means something needs to change on your part, play around with positions, ninjas, magatamas, ini, whatever.
