u can farm the items from the mission without 3*, u just cant sweep for faster farming

I feel ya. Considering its the only mission you can get that item from you think they would make it easier. You can still farm it but it will take a long time.

seriously, i just tried it after beating it before 2.0 and i'd say its harder than any of the ninja exams i've done (i'm on 117 rn). I don't understand why they made it this difficulty. I'm not sure what power you need to be to fini* actually since i'm 35k power right now and it didn't look beatable to me as a water main. I really hope they give some feedback to the design team that the elite instance difficult was increased way too much.

i think it scales with your power, you will need an insane team to beat it

I did it using 5-Kage Temari, Kurotsuchi and Sage Naruto as Wind Main with 40k power, taking in *t-team of Wind-Blade Asuma, GNW TenTen and GNW Kankuro to have a better damage output for the blue circle.

Could just have gotten lucky with it, but the bad guys seemed to prioritise smacking 9-tails cloak Naruto around so provided you can kill them off relatively quickly it wasn't so bad.

I probably have to say I have good resistance and my team has shields

the problem with most of the teams on the forums are that they use Sage Naruto, or some rare that I don't have. I think a fire sleep type team would be my best bet.

im at 37.6k and still cant beat it =.=

sage naruto is realy handy in high level missions, and ninja exam
he's around 60-180 pull from sage so i would dearly suggest you go get him, or just wait til he's put in group shop (only for a limited time)

yeah i'm hoping to get lucky
