Hello everyone, ProtoZero here.


I will be providing a nice strategy for the Midnight Blade



EDIT: Sorry for the Wall Of Text, wrote a lot more than expected.



UPDATE: Using this build, I was able to reach Six Paths Sennin in Arena. From Kage 1 Star I kept using this build with slight modifications.



UPDATE 2: Mystery Skill usage to maximize dps.



Introduction


This is mainly focused around Arena PVP as I havent been as powerful as the other players in the regular world. I am currently sitting at 3 Star Kage in arena. Although using this lineup at 6.6K power, i managed to beat another user in ranked with 8K power. Claiming their spot at 240, which was about 200 ranks higher than mine.




Disclaimer:


I havent played this game before July 20th, so my knowledge isnt complete, but I think I have a good grasp of how to be sucessful considering my ranks.


I also didn't spend any money on this game aside from $1 USD to attain Gaara at 2 stars.



Required Ninjas


Midnigh Blade (obv), Sai (Ranked Shop), Kabuto (Survival Trails Shop), Kakashi (7 Day Login)



The placement of the ninjas is as follows:


mkznFW1[1]



Midnight Blade Talents


SwQjoMI[1]



Choice of Talents and Ninjas Explaination



In order to be sucessful in the arena, staying healthy was very important. Thus I had to include a healer. My choices were Shizune, Kabuto, or Sakura.


Since our main character focused on knockdown skills, we narrowed the choice down to Kabuto or Shizune as they can both chase knockdowns and cause High Float. We'll leave it at that for now, Kabuto/Shizune.



Next we needed someone that chases High Float. My choices were Kakashi, Lee, Anko, Kidomaru, or Gaara.


I chose Kakashi because he could chase High Float cause Low Float, and then chase Low Float again to cause Knockdown. It's important to note that he can cause (create) 2 different forms of Crowd Control (CC), Paralyze and Ignite at the same time.



So now, we have Kakashi, Midnight Blade, and the choice between Kabuto/Shizune.




I finalized the team with Sai because of his ability to flood the field with Kabuto.


Sai, Kabuto, and Kakashi can fill up the last 5 open spaces on the first turn, this provides a lot of extra defence against auto attacks, and Mirror Genjutsu which I will talk more about later.



With Sai, he can chase Knockdown and cause Repulse. which our Midnight Blade can Knockdown again. Also, Sai can guarantee a High Float attack when he has two lions on the field. Which can start our combo.



With this build, each character, except for Kabuto, is capable of starting THE 6 hit combo. "THE" because they CC with Paralyze and Ignite. You can place this build inside the simulator to see the combos for yourself.



Auto-Compatible


The build is very simple. There are 2 skills which can trigger the combo on a specific ninjas if necessary. Summoning the lions also have more auto attacks. They suprisingly deal quite a bit of damage. Plus having the top row full, will essentially nullify the enemy's top row auto attack. I actually got to Kage 3 Star using auto for most of it. Unless it's a very close battle, I sometimes take manual control, but there isnt much to control.



ETC.


I created this build as a direct counter to the Mirror Genjutsu from the Scarlet Blaze and Kurenai. I got really annoyed because my combos would aways get stopped by my own paralyze. This build counters the mirror jutsu by flooding the field. When I attempt to CC the enemy team, the mirror will only reflect one of the CCs. Either Ignition or Paralyze, depending on the combo sequence. Now because we have potentially 5 other targets to choose from, the mirror jutsu may not land on my ninjas. Instead, they will either ignite or paralyze one of the clones. Since there are 5 clones and only 4 ninjas, It's more probable that my ninjas dont get CC.


Video


Here is a li

nk to the video I made. I didnt realize there was a competition, so it covers mostly everything. I just wrote this guide to enter the competition :D



MAXIMIZING DAMAGE.

I saw a few people using this guide and there was one thing that i forgot to explicitly point out. In this team, there are 2 target skills. The main's Chidori Blade - Shadow, and Kakashi's Earth Style - Fanged Pursuit Jutsu. There is a "semi" targetable trigger on Sai based on his placement.
You have up to 2 chances each turn to trigger the combo. Once with either target skill, and once with Sai's auto attack. Because BOTH Midnight Blade's skill and Kakashi's skill are 2 round cool downs, you dont want to use them both on the same turn. You want to alternate the usage of the skill to maximize dps. Keep in mind the aoe damage from your main's skill can finish off low hp players on the side while triggering the combo on a health enemy.

  • Instead of Sai can I just use Gaara?
well you can try anything, but like i said, witih SAI, he can guarantee a high float, meaning that on first round after summoning clones, if your lions are still alive. He can start the 6 hit combo

I had another "Auto" team, but it was really boring, this one is really fun to use. Lots of comeback potential.

  • i hope to get him soon but you can give us more strategy or replacement so that we can switch them easilyand

    //and do you have any formation for world boss or some specific events?

I just used this build and reached Six Paths Sennin, like RIGHT NOW. Super happy. I will try to come up with more strategies.

It's hard to come up with strategies against world boss cause i cant practice against it.

  • Until I get Sai to try, who would you recommend in place of Sai?
Im not sure, this build worked really well, so i dont know if there is a possible replacement. I dont have that many ninjas yet, so I cant say if there might be someone better. I just got to six paths sennin in arena using this build tho

  • Hi protozero i looked at some of your team ideas i wanted to know what you think of using kidomaru kimimaro kaboto and lighting main as a team i know in a post you used this team but instead of kimimaro you used gaara. i would think this team would work a little similar to it but at the same time maybe a little better as kimimaro also has the curse tag passive for increased defense and resistances
It could work, I didnt have Kimi at the time of creating this team. However, the damage output on your team is a lot lower than mine. As I said before, in arena Gaara is capable of doing about 5k damage each time.

  • Gaara is fine replacement for Sai if you don't have him yet. You only get 5-6 hit combos and Kakashi doesn't usually trigger his ignite but you can still survive an extremely long time because of Gaara, who is basically invincible and can throw down crazy AOE damage. Plus since he's wind and uses ninjutsu he ignores Hinata's rotation defense (a common tank in arena), wind damage in general is great against the problem Lightning dudes that have amazing damage or multi-attacks (Lee, Gai, Sasuke, Kakashi), and his self-restoring shield can at times be better than clones (especially against AOE teams). He's also immune to combos!

    But to get the most out of the team they have to be setup exactly like this. The only change to talents is use Lightning Sword. Alternatively you can move Midnight Blade to be in front of Kakashi as that won't change the combo order but will give Kakashi a protector.

I also think that Kazekage gaara is harder to obtain than Sai, at this point in time, those who started playing on the first couple days should have had enough time to obtain Sai, or unlock the instance to start grinding for him.

Also, the primary reason i created this Sai Kabuto team is to create more targets to counter the mirror genjutsu, not as a combo team or a tank team. The team i have has consistent damage output.
In relation to the average high combo team which usually get stopped because of paralyze, my team is a lot more favoured 1/9 chance to get paralyze compared to the 1/4.

  • Hey i think guy sensei would work with this team as well since with him being on field you get that leech effect and instead using anbu's tactics you could use lighting enchantment.
every character is good... sure you c*e guy, but you wont have the same effect as my team. Not necessarily bad, just different.

  • this combo works pretty well but gets countered by some iruka comps if they have good combos
every team has counters... IF they have this, IF they have that... anyways. if you're gonna bring Iruka, or 2 Tails naruto into the convo. no point...

  • what summon would be good for this formation?
i used the regular blue snake. Knockdown to Knockdown.

This team was built without the summons, so im not sure what would be optimal, however the blue snake didnt affect combo so i just used it.

  • Since you're more experience than me in this game how would you place a team with Hinata,Gaara,kabuto, and midnight. It's kinda like a grind team comp where I grind people out and stop combos with Gaara and Hinata while having Kabuto heal me.
Empty Empty Empty
Kabuto Midnight Hinata
Empty Gaara Empty

Snake summon
Talents probably 22112

  • what summon is best recommended for this?
there are a series of repulses and knockdown,

so in reality any of the summons which chase and dont convert to something else should be fine.

repulse to repulse, knockdown to knockdown, chase high combo, etc.

  • I believe this is a far superior combo. I have reached 1700 arena rating with it :

    x Sasuke x
    Kankuro (GNW) Main, Hinata
    x x x

    They all combo well entirely and it is very very hard to beat. I would highly recommend it.
depending on what server you play on, you can probably reach different ranks. But simply posting a formation isnt really explaining much
