I'm NaraShikamaru from 24 and I'm one of the top players in survival rankings. I'm here to post a general guide on survival since the players you will fight will scale to your power ranking. Also each enemy you face might differ from day to day, not mention we face different teams from server to server. The reason its labed 70+ is Tsunade is unlocked at 69 from plot instance, Orichimaru from 70 elite clearance and tobi from survival. Or plot 79.

5 types of teams categories.

Offensive: Might lack a healer but still deadly. Iruka teams or lightning teams with hinata, sasuke. These teams might kill 1 or more of your ninjas on turn 2. Try to use poison/ignite if you can kill a ninja with a combo on turn 2.

Defensive: Earth main with Gakido, Jigokundo and a random offensive ninjas is the most annoying example. This team you might struggle to beat in 10 rounds. Sacrifice a team to win if you must. Typically as long as you kill the 4th ninja, this team doesn' deal much damage.

Control: Water main with hinata and something else. If you let her shark bomb go off you risk being immobilized. Try to use reflect to negate the immobile from water. Otherwise paralyze to stop the combos.

Status affects: Ignite, poison tai, acupunture. Something along the lines of karin, sasuke, hinata is a basic template. A couple healers or gakido can negate this.

Balanced: Does a bit of everything

Tips
1. Retreat: as long as your team or the enemy doesn't die you can restart with the same amount of health you started with
2. Build a team against the survival 12 that you commonly face. This is determined by power rankings so as long as your not in a new server it wont change unless you suddenly top up a lot
3. Try to have 3 different teams if possible
4. *yze what the enemy ninjas use and in what order so you can retreat and interrupt
5. Its fine to sacrifice a weaker team to take out a ninja or wear them down so your stronger team can pass
6. Reposition your team for maximum effect
7. You c*so switch out a ninja from your survival team at any point if he hasn't been in any battle yet. (Is marked with a lock icon on the ninja icons at the "Select Ninja" menu)
8. If you have unlocked Trial Breaktrough (1 unlocked on round 10, rest are unlocked by beating 12) there is a very easy way to heal up a team.
You can do the first trial, which is usually a weaker team, place in a healer, kill their most deadly ninjas and then stall to get your team healed up.

Another tip:

This tip only works on new server/low levels
Save a reset and don't finish survival until the next day. Survival enemy teams will be based on the day before. Since you level up quite a bit, this will allow you to clear survival a bit easier.
