I'll do you one better:
3 teams of lighting main(armor, +chakra normal attack, lightning enhancement), tendo, wb asuma +X
Where X differ for each team, being chikushodo, konan and shurado

Only Chikushodo and Konan would chase (one is 10 combo, one is knockdown to knockdown) long as you ensure main don't chase. So use the shurado one first, then the other to minimal chases.

Might do it, 3 +140% nin/atk tendo drops...

Just my guess....
Edit: you know what, replace one of the WB asuma with a darui for barrier, say the 3rd tendo. Then we'd have two 180% and a 150%. the two 180% should wipe field.
Put lightning main move 1, tendo move 2.

Check your work please

First, how long does it take to apply buffs:
Test: Darui, Bee, jigokudo, wind main with wind buff:
result: 3 second for battle to load, 6 seconds for buffs to apply (here, the buff is jigokudo, darui barrier, bee's two part buff(thou one ability)--like konan and wind main wind buff, like LM lighnting buff) this is actually more than what I suggested, per team, but serve as good enough basis.

Second, how long does it take for lightning main to cast mystery and perform 4 "attacks"?
I used bee + mabui for this test, from the time after bee's passive triggers(before each action) to after the
4th action of mabui (2 pump 2 heals), 10 seconds (note that you only need 3, as there is WB asuma, so no not using demon talent, should make it 8 seconds)

Third, as I don't have tendo, an estimation of how long it takes to do a tendo drop, I used kazekage, which is somewhat similiar. 7 seconds.

How long does it take to complete a round of battle? Worst case scenario:
loading time: let's say 5 seconds for 3v3 instead of 3 for 1v1
buff time: let's say 6x6= 36 seconds
(on a side note, it took 20 second for ranked battle start period, including loading and buffing. While I know it says it's 2x, usually it isn't really. Still, even if we double that time, it's less than this estimate, so I think we are safe there, the 5+36 can only be an overestimate. Mind you, my ranked team have 3 passive barrier, which is by far the slowest of "buff" animation)
battle time: LM mystery + 3x LM actions: 8x3=24 seconds
3x tendo drop 3x7=21 seconds
1 minute 26 seconds per round, 2 minute 52 seconds to complete both stage of battle.
Granted, this indeed didn't quite make the "deadline" of 2:22, but it's certainly faster than what you think it is.

So, how can it be faster?
For starters, i think my buffing etc time is over estimated, can probably shave off 5 seconds per round there.
Second, if we expect 2 tendo to 'solve" the problem, team 3 c*e a minimal action time ninja in spot 1, say akatuchi, just so team 1&2 can get to their parts faster. And also, it means no 3rd tendo needed. overall, this would mean that instead of 8+7 second action for the first two char, it would be instead like 2 second for the action of one char, shaving 13 seconds off each round, for 26 seconds total.
2 min 56 seconds - 26 seconds - 10 seconds = 2 min 20 seconds.

So in theory, a full tendo buff team, if it can kill the enemy with two buffed tendo drops, will be able to complete in the allotted time.

I haven't tried this as I said in my post that I do not have tendo.

I'm not aware of any bug with tendo like that, I'm merely theory crafting a team that is fast and have a high theoretical damage output.

Are you certain that you are seeing the correct result? Specifically, there is, for example, a known bug where repulse's knockback damage sometimes doesn't display properly. So is the 3rd tendo really not doing damage?

In any case, if you can replicate the bug reliably, you might want to submit a report w/ screenshots or video. (in case of screenshot, show a "before" picture where the mystery is queued and the health condition of the enemy, and a after for after the mystery is cast). Because indeed, that sounds like a bug.

I wonder if it's the long animation causing timing failures....

Were all the tendo in spot 2? Have you guys tried putting them in different spots? Would be slower (since all the other ninjas would act) but maybe that will let it go off at least. And/or perhaps auto?

You don't need bloodthirsty thou.
You start with 20+20(WB Asuma), Lightning armor cost 20, so you'd have 20 left. Tendo cost 80, so you only need +60, which 3 attacks form lightning armor is enough.

1 less animation is just a tad bit faster

And since you listed 6 global buffers, which the other team have sufficient room for, your forth ninja can be gnw1010 for the crit or guy or something like that. Never hurts to have more buff.

Other team move 1, they can just use their main, every main have a non-attack basic except fire, and fire have 2 basic attack that don't combo.

Earth main have shield, water main heal, wind main summon clone, lightning +chakra, fire main have dance and sleep, I guess sleep is faster maybe. Most of those have faster animation than most normal attacks

Edit: also make sure everyone is using the right talents. Your lighting talent aside, no other begin of round talent(buff, summon, debuff whatever) should be used. Water should be, for example, poison tai and neuro toxin whereas wind would be queen's momentum and charkra coordination and so on. This will minimize the begin of battle animations and shave off a few seconds more. A bit extreme but if we are going ballz to the wallz...

If it's only the 3rd tendo that have problem, you could try 2,2,3 first.
Also, only whoever is 3rd would require auto, seeing how first 2 are working fine. Might require init rune adjusting, but make it the one that's not animal path and not you be the 3rd and on auto could work maybe?

Timer indeed ticks 2x as fast on 2x speed.
However, due to animation render speed, the fight isn't actually 2x speed, more like 1.5x
So you end up having a timer that is ~2/1.5=1.33 times longer, which is bad.

If you pay attention, you will see that the screenshot is of 80-100 division, so that is not the case.

Are you implying that a 40+90 team will fight enemy of the 40s difficulty yet go on the ranking for the 80-100(90) bracket?
If that's how it works, it's obviously an abuse-able bug that needs to be reported.

If not, what's your point?

I don't think you quite understand.

Yes, it is EASY to get a super short time using that method

BUT, if you do, it SHOULD NOT show up on the 80-100 bracket ranking, which is shown on the screenshot posted.

Therefore, that is NOT what happened.
