But who has friends like that? ;) ***************************************************************************** This FAQ is for Senran Kagura Bursto! Think it's just about boobies in 3D? Think again! It's a side scrolling brawler, a little bit like Streets of Rage if you will. Well, I actually don't play these types of games much, so I compared it to the one game I did grow up on. But Senran Kagura burst has an interesting style of play that includes combos, playing a safe way or a reckless way, with after-mission results depending on how you played. It's a really fun game, and something I hope you enjoy. This guide is meant for first time players, IE, one's who don't know how to unlock stuff, I wrote it in a way that when you do a mission, you will see the rank I got, and what I did to get it. Supposing you didn't unlock anything, then compare your rank to mine, and if something is missing, then you might have to beat the rank I got in order to get it. ***************************************************************************** ________________ Version History: ________________ Version 1.10 -Added side mission info! -Forgot about Rin lol... -Additional FAQs Version 1 -Story walkthrough complete! -Started this FAQ the night (morning) of Saturday November 16 2013 -Finished on November 21 (20) 2013 -more updates on the way __________________ TABLE OF CONTENTS: (tip: search the number plus symbol, ie 4.a# to go to Chapter 1) __________________ 1# Introduction 2# Controls 3# Character types 4# HANZO ACADEMY STORY MODE -4.a# Chapter 1 -4.b# Chapter 2 -4.c# Chapter 3 -4.d# Chapter 4 -4.e# Chapter 5 5# HEBIJO ACADEMY STORY MODE -5.a# Chapter 1 -5.b# Chapter 2 -5.c# Chapter 3 -5.d# Chapter 4 -5.e# Chapter 5 6# DRESSING ROOM 7# Frequently pondered questions ==-\ 1#-->--Introduction---------------------------------------------------------- ==-/ Senran Kagura burst is a 2.5D side scrolling beat-em-up, with a story about the modern day use of ninjas. It has 2 games in one, basically the first game that was released in Japan, and its sequel. The first game focuses on "the good guys" so to say, but through out the story you may start to question the meaning of life and what's right and what's wrong, etc.... well, maybe not, but the story is nice. But it wouldn't be complete without the sequel, which focuses on the Hebijo Academy, who you would consider the "bad guys". This story may have you questioning the meaning of life, whether or not it's okay to smash a donut instead of properly eating it, etc... Okay I kid, I kid, but for $30 USD, Senran Kagura Burst includes games 1 and 2, granting you the pleasure of enjoying the story in full, instead of, you know, paying $60 USD for 2 games >__> I love the characters, and I love the Anime as well, if you haven't seen that, do give it a shot, it's a nice compliment to this game and should further satisfy one in enjoying the story and world these girls are set in. Now enough of my blithering, on to the game! ==-\ 2#-->--Controls--------------------------------------------------------- ==-/ -Circle Pad / D-Pad is for movement. That is Left - Right, Up and Down is for moving up and down the area, hence 2.5D. Y is for a weak attack X is for a strong attack. B is for jumping. A is for dashing. Press-hold A to dash full speed. Can be used in mid-air too. A can also be used to do an Aerial Rave, when a green ring appears on screen, press A to continue the strikes. R is for Limit Break. Kind of like, the Force. Will knock back enemies at the cost of HP. L is for transforming. Will up Attack and Defense (only when the Ninja Art gauge is full). When transformed, L + Y will be your Secret Ninja Art Attack. L + R is Frantic Mode, when used at the start of a mission, your Speed and Attack is greatly enhanced at the severe cost of Defense. ==-\ 3#-->--Character types------------------------------------------------------- ==-/ There are 5 regular characters per side. Each character is unique in that they have a different style of play. For example: Asuka and Homura are sword fighters, speed + moderate attack, when used in succession, it's quite easy to aerial rave. Hikage is a quick slasher, not too high attack but dishes the pain fast and easy. Katsuragi is... she's a little slow, but hits hard. Ikaruga and Yomi are heavy hitters who hit hard for extended periods of time. They can't flinch much, but don't be reckless either. Yagyu and Mirai are shooters. They are good at range, and do hurt up close for their respective ninja arts. But don't expect them to fight up close all the time. Hibari and Haruka are rabbit punchers lol. Basically like harrassment style of play. Dish a bunch of hits in small amounts, but the combo's don't seem to end. Their style of play might take too long lol... At level 15 they learn a new ninja art. That'll give you two, but the type depends on the character (For example, some have their 2nd ninja art usable in the air, others can't) ==--\ 4#=-->--HANZO ACADEMY STORY MODE-------------------------------------------- ==--/ So there are 5 chapters, with 8 story missions 5 side missions each. Story missions have a key icon on them, side missions do not. This guide will be a Story mode walkthrough (For now). Difficulty is rated by 1 star being easy, 5 stars being the hardest. As far as I have experienced, Side Missions do not yield unlockables. At least I have not gotten a single one >__> ==--\________________________________________________________________________ 4.a#|>Chapter 1 ==--/ Mission 01------------------------------------------ COMBAT PRACTICE =Goal: follow onscreen tutorials to complete the mission. =Difficulty: * =Time Limit: NONE =Enemies: 30 =Reward: if done correctly, Angel Halo (hair accessory), music track This is your first mission, and as you might have guessed, it's a tutorial mission, basically teaching you how to kick butt. You learn the commands, and how the game play is like. To proceed through this mission, follow the command that is displayed at the bottom of the top screen to proceed to the next command, and do so until you have learned them, and then the game will allow you to defeat all enemies to completely finish the mission. Mission 02------------------------------------------ GET HIBARI'S SCROLL =Goal: Retrieve Hibari's scroll. =Difficulty: * =Time Limit: NONE =Note: This is a mission for Asuka. =Enemies: 82 (at least for me >__>) =Reward: Smart Glasses accessory, music track In the first part will be about 10 baddies, defeating them will trigger a GO arrow to proceed to the next part (remember to keep an eye on the health of the enemies, trying to milk your combo's on a dead enemy is not going to be beneficial to you.) The second part has about 10 enemies again, but some are ninja's too in that they can poof sometimes, so make short work of them. In part 3, will be a, not exactly a sub-boss, I'd rather say a "Large" enemy in that not only does she have double health, but tougher to beat, so this is one enemy I'm happy to say you can combo the heck out of her. Once those enemies are defeated, part 4 has again the regular ninja's, and part 5 has the Large Enemy again. Part 6 has the large enemy again, and the final part are the usual girls. For comparison, my rank: D Mission 03------------------------------------------ STREET SWEEPING =Goal: Defeat delinquents =Difficulty: * =Time Limit: NONE =Note: This is a mission for Ikaruga. =Enemies: 102 =Reward: music track Part one has the combo of ninja and delinquents, look out for them shooting (throwing?) waves at you, and part 2 has more of the same. Part 3 has the Large enemy, so I suggest transforming. Part 4 has usual ninja + delinquent, and then part 5 will have the Large Enemy, part 6 will have ninja + delinquent, and I suggest dashing right for part 7 as a whole bunch of delinquents will rush you so beating them up, and then catching them in an aerial rave will make very short work of them. The final part will have a large enemy + delinquents, and it's mission success. For comparison, my rank: C Mission 04------------------------------------------ GET BACK THE PURSE =Goal: Catch the thief =Difficulty: * =Time Limit: NONE =Note: This is a mission for Asuka. =Enemies: 58 =Reward: picture unlocks, 2 new glossary terms Time for some thief catching! Part 1 has delinquents and ninja's, part 2 has the Large Enemy + delinquents, in part 3 you might see an item girl, well, she has a backpack, and she'll drop items when defeated, so I call her Item Girl :P the next part has again an Item girl + Large Enemy, and then it's mission complete! For comparison, my rank: C Mission 05------------------------------------------ PUNISH THE HARASSER =Goal: Defeat delinquents =Difficulty: * =Time Limit: NONE =Note: This is a mission for Katsuragi. =Enemies: 68 =Reward: accessory, music track, In the first part is delinquents and... mannequins (training dummies lol), and the next part will have some lockers, I suggest transforming and then beat them up for some endless fun, and the part afterwards will have more of delinquents + Large Enemy + Mannequins/blue plushies, thankfully this mission has plenty of lockers to beat up, so abuse the arts because it isn't a long mission. For comparison, my rank: B Mission 06------------------------------------------ WAGER THE PLUSHIE =Goal: Defeat Hibari =Difficulty: * =Time Limit: NONE =Note: This is a mission for Yagyu. =Enemies: 14 =Reward: music track It's.... like what the goal says, defeat Hibari :P I mean, there's some mannequins too, so try to keep the combo going against her. For comparison, my rank: B Mission 07------------------------------------------ HIBARI'S TUTORING =Goal: Beat all within time limit =Difficulty: * =Time Limit: 6 MINUTES =Note: This is a mission for Hibari. =Enemies: 60+ =Reward: music track In the school yard only, just beat up as much as you can. There's no area switching, so keep your eye on enemy health meters and when they are as good as dead, break the combo and go for the next enemy(s). Funny enough, I still had 1 minute left on the timer (it's on the bottom screen) when it ended. For comparison, my rank: C Mission 08------------------------------------------ HEBIJO ASSASSIN =Goal: Beat the Hebijo =Difficulty: ** =Time Limit: NONE =Note: This is a mission for Asuka. =Enemies: 12+ =Reward: Old Hanzo uniform, School swimsuit, Burst Girls outfit, new picture, music track After the story scene, this is a fight between Asuka and Homura. But Homura has some ninja's with her, so I suggest combo'ing her with them, because I think I was so fixated on her, I ended up with a Rank C :/ Mission 09------------------------------------------ SIDE MISSION (Private Practice) =Goal: Beat 50 dummies =Difficulty: * =Time Limit: NONE =Enemies: 50 Mission 10------------------------------------------ SIDE MISSION (Mean Street) =Goal: Defeat delinquents =Difficulty: * =Time Limit: NONE =Enemies: Mission 11------------------------------------------ SIDE MISSION (Guard School Morals) =Goal: Beat all within time limit =Difficulty: * =Time Limit: 5 minutes =Enemies: Mission 12------------------------------------------ SIDE MISSION (Timed Practice) =Goal: Reach the roof in time =Difficulty: ** =Time Limit: 10 minutes =Enemies: The first floor is like Story Mission 05, so make short work, and keep an eye on those enemy health bars, then at the end of this floor is a stairs, yes you have to go up them to proceed. On the second floor, are some delinquents and mannequins, the second part is more delinquents, try to beat the one with a red arrow above her head first, I heard she calls in reinforcements, making the fight longer, and then after them are more Large Enemies + delinquents, after them are some more delinquents + red arrow leader + mannequin things, then the next area has destructable benches, beat them up for items, and beat up the delinquents and mannequins as well. After this is the last part of the 2nd floor, where the Large Enemy is the Leader, target her first, and then go after the mannequins and delinquents. 3rd floor, delinquents will charge you, so have fun with either secret arts or A Dash and weak attack them. After you beat them, you'll run into a large emtpy area, and the baddies are only at the end of it. Beat them up, then the next area will have only delinquents + mannequins, and then the next part will have more of that. The next part after this has boxes, beat them up for items, and you'll face 2 Large Enemies only, they will try to body slam you from both sides, so just Aerial Rave one of them first, for some fun try canceling the Aerial Rave and drop down before the enemy does, but before you drop down press R for the Explosion move to damage the enemy's fall. Onto the roof for victory! (Yes you have to go up the stairs, and run further right on the roof) For comparison, my rank: B Mission 13------------------------------------------ SIDE MISSION (RECOVER IT IN A FLASH) =Goal: Rerieve flash drive =Difficulty: ** =Time Limit: NONE =Enemies: Mission 14------------------------------------------ SIDE MISSION (Underage Drinking) =Goal: Defeat delinquents =Difficulty: ** =Time Limit: NONE =Enemies: ==--\________________________________________________________________________ 4.b#|>Chapter 2 ==--/ Mission 2-01--------------------------------------------- KATSURAGI TRAINING =Goal: Beat 30 posts quick =Difficulty: * =Time Limit: 5 Minutes =Enemies: 30 + change =Reward: New picture So there are 30 wooden posts out in the school yard, and you can simply beat them all up within a minute, or beat up some mannequins for some Combo's while you're at it. I'm guessing you need to have both a highest combo + 2 minutes or less mission time to get a rank A, because I got Rank B. Mission 2-02--------------------------------------------- THE LOVABLE HIBARI =Goal: Fight for Hibari =Difficulty: * =Time Limit: NONE =Enemies: 70 + change =Reward: toast accessory (bread in her mouth lol), music track The first fight will have delinquents + Large Enemy, the next part has ninja's plus delinquents, and then the 3rd part has a large enemy + delinquents, then the final part has 2 Large Enemies + delinquents, I say Dash this group then weak attack + Ninja Arts, should be enough to blast one of the large enemies, then finish them off.... wait, now you have to fight Hibari?!? There will be some mannequins with her, so combo her + them as fast as you can. For comparison, my rank: B Mission 2-03--------------------------------------------- INTERCEPT HEBIJO'S =Goal: Defeat all shinobi =Difficulty: ** =Time Limit: NONE =Enemies: 48 + change =Reward: new picture, music track, glossary term Yes! We can use any character we want for this mission. Though the story scene involves Ikaruga, I'm not sure what'll happen if you choose someone else... well the story scene is separate :/ So after the nice story scene with Ikaruga, it's a fight in only a single area against ninja's, I highly suggest you keep those combo's up because these ninja's will run to you plenty of times, giving you time to combo non-stop. Took me 2:42, highest combo 1015, Rank A. Mission 2-04--------------------------------------------- IKARUGA VERSUS YOMI =Goal: Defeat Yomi =Difficulty: ** =Time Limit: NONE =Note: This is a mission for Ikaruga (was at level 18 for me) =Enemies: 56 + change =Reward: music track, glossary term Oh man... I had used Ikaruga in the previous mission, now I gotta use her again, her levels are higher than the other girls already >__< I gave her the toast in her mouth, maybe that'll help :D So now that I've got the hang of this game, I've got better tips now. In this first part, are all ninja's, Dash and start the combo's, as much as possible finish off the last enemy near the right of the screen, once you hear a familiar voice tell you to proceed, make a mad dash right for the next set of ninja's to continue your combo's, and after them is the last part of ninja's before we face Yummy-chan I mean Yomi-chan :p There are some ninja's with Yummy, so go after them first to build the combo, then move to have Yummy mixed in with them. There are times where Yummy will block, when she does switch attacks to the other ninja's, Yummy will then stop defending so again mix your attack in with her, and do as much Aerial Rave as you can, I used Transform + Aerial Rave + Ninja Art mid-rave, ultimate hits! For comparison, my rank: A @ 3 minutes 33 seconds, highest combo 766. That toast did help lol. Mission 2-05--------------------------------------------- KATSURAGI VERSUS HIKAGE =Goal: Defeat Hikage =Difficulty: ** =Time Limit: NONE =Note: This is a mission for Katsuragi (was at level 10 for me) =Enemies: 107 + change =Reward: accessory (scroll munch & fox ears), music track, glossary term. =Note 2: this mission has destructable objects. Break for great justice :D KATSU-NEEEEEEEE My gosh, I think she's under-leveled, I had a hard time in just the first part against ninja's, there's a particular ninja that spews poison-gas AKA Grimer, and it has a fairly long range too. You gotta combo them as soon as you can, as it can break your combo's if you're caught in the poison gas. Once they are done, make a dash for the right and another bunch of poison gasser's, these rooftops are much too large, so again finish them off near the right of the screen, because you'll need to dash for the 3rd area, more gassers and ninja's. After them is the last roof, I hope you built up your combo's because it ends here (at least for me), beating this group will require you to dash right to the next area, which is where Katsu will break a wall down to the next area, there's definitely not enough time to continue combo's here. It's a new roof, and they are going to gas your gass, so don't dash all the way, you can either jump them or go for the front liners, and beat them up, my gosh all the way through these roofs, they'll meet you with poison gas, so I say jump and dash attack them from the sky, because the gas is too annoying. At the last part, ugh more gassers, and once they are done you go up the stairs to the next area. I'm pretty sure you have enough for a Ninja art, so what I did was dash into them, got my clothes completely destroyed, and ninja art'ed them. This group is it, time for Hikage!!! Oh my gosh, I had to be reckless this fight, with no armor I wanted to end it soon. If you try to go after Hikage, she'll avoid you, and you will never be able to catch up to her. Best thing to do is go after the other ninja's, and Hikage will run after you, so catch her in an aerial rave with the others to keep your combo's up. Unfortunately for me, I had to abuse the ninja arts on her, she's much to quick to pass up the opportunity. For comparison, my rank: B, which took 6 minutes 6 seconds. Mission 2-06--------------------------------------------- YAGYU VERSUS MIRAI =Goal: Defeat Mirai =Difficulty: ** =Time Limit: NONE =Note: This is a mission for Yagyu (was at level 11 for me) =Enemies: 80 + change =Reward: music track, glossary term YAGYUUUUUUUUUU I love twintail girls, I just want to grab both her tails and just ugyuuu :D For the first part, you'll face off against ninja's and mannequins, phew I don't see any poison gassers, but I saw one in the 2nd part, as well a a mannequin with a mohawk that had a double health bar. Go on to the 3rd part, more double health mohanequins and ninjas, the 4th part has one last group, so I hope you've been combo'ing because changing area's here breaks combo's. The next area actually is the last, so I suggest making QUICK work of them because trying to extend combo's here is no good. MIRAIIIIIIII don't laugh at her flachest, her ears are cute :D Mirai is a range player, and she won't hesitate to shoot at you from afar, even at the odd angle (aka she's at the foreground, and she will fire to the background). You must jump, jump with all your might and either attack from the skies and then combo her, because if you are close she'll put up a barrier. Catch her with the rest of the other ninja's and you'll be combo'ing her in no time. For comparison, my rank: B, which took 4 minutes 17 seconds. Mission 2-07--------------------------------------------- HIBARI VERSUS HARUKA =Goal: Defeat HARUKA =Difficulty: ** =Time Limit: NONE =Note: This is a mission for Hibari (was at level 10 for me, I leveled her to 14 just in case) =Enemies: 50 + change =Reward: music track, glossary term whoo, I think that level up will help, if you are 10 or below. 1st part has double health mohawnequins, and poison gas ninja's. I suggest building a combo up during this fight, as the poison gassers will potentially break your combo's. The 2nd part has more gassers, mohawnequins, and snakes, darn those snakes, get them caught in combo's because they tend to slither away, making it hard to continue combo's if they are the only enemies left. If you wanted to continue a combo after this 2nd part, lucky you as there are enemies right behind the barrier, once you can proceed dash and smash, before the poison gassers can setup, and there are snakes as well. The 4th part is the last, and it has grenadiers, poison gassers and the snake and mohawnequins. HARUKA TIME OH MY FAVORITE HEBIJO GIRL :D She'll have poison gas ninja's with her, so make sure you do not get caught in them as Haruka will guard at times. Catching her in an aerial rave is kinda easy, so when you can, Aerial Rave as much as you can. I've never actually seen her attack at all o_O For comparison, my rank: C, with a highest combo of 1206 in 5 minutes 16 sec. Mission 2-08--------------------------------------------- ASUKA VERSUS HOMERUN-CHAN =Goal: Defeat Homura =Difficulty: ** =Time Limit: NONE =Note: This is a mission for Asuka (was at level 13 for me) I highly suggest Asuka be at least level 15. =Enemies: 60 + change =Reward: gym uniform, Race Queen swimsuit, Cartoon Disguise shinobi outfit, glossary term x2 ITSA HOMERUNNNNNNN Ah, riverside ransom... I mean, in this first part, there are flamers, so keep your eyes open. In the 2nd part, I saw a ninja that did a Limit Break O_O In part 3, I encountered grenadiers, so do not keep a distance from them because that's when they are more likely to nade you. Part 4 has more of the slasher ninja girls, then final part a bunch of the generic ninjas. Now it's time to hit a homerun outta the ballpark. Homura has flame and grenadier ninja's with her, and Homura blocks attacks sometimes. I found her to attack more often than the other Hebijo girls, and she typically did a guard then slash attack, be aware this will hurt (lost plenty of clothing armor to her alone). It could be because Asuka's level looks really low at 13, and she was simply not tough enough. I sure am a poor tactician :( Time to quit this game and go back to Fire Emblem Awakening :P For comparison, my rank: C, highest combo 273 in 4 minutes 59 seconds. SIDE Mission 2-09--------------------------------------------- EVIL SHINOBI PARTY =Goal: Defeat 80 shinobi =Difficulty: * =Time Limit: NONE =Enemies: 80 SIDE Mission 2-10--------------------------------------------- OLD TOWN SHINOBI =Goal: Defeat all shinobi =Difficulty: ** =Time Limit: NONE =Enemies: 50 + change Ouch, poison gassers in the 1st part, and flamers in the 2nd part. Some ninja's will also fire waves at you. In fact you will only fight in the Old Town area, and as you progress, you'll meet ninja's who will throw grenades at you, and the final part has poison gassers, flamers and grenadiers, very hard to keep the combo's up. For comparison, my rank: C at 4 minutes 57 seconds. SIDE Mission 2-11--------------------------------------------- SHINBI IN THE DARK =Goal: Defeat all shinobi =Difficulty: ** =Time Limit: NONE =Enemies: SIDE Mission 2-12--------------------------------------------- MOONLIGHT ASSASSIN =Goal: Defeat all shinobi =Difficulty: *** =Time Limit: NONE =Enemies: SIDE Mission 2-13--------------------------------------------- CROSSING GUARD =Goal: Defeat all shinobi =Difficulty: *** =Time Limit: NONE =Enemies: SIDE Mission 2-14--------------------------------------------- HOT SPRING SHINOBI =Goal: Defeat all shinobi =Difficulty: *** =Time Limit: NONE =Enemies: ==--\________________________________________________________________________ 4.c#|>Chapter 3 ==--/ Mission 3-01--------------------------------------------- SUMMER MISTAKE =Goal: Beat all within time limit =Difficulty: ** =Time Limit: 6 minutes =Enemies: 60 + change =Reward: picture, glossary term Nice Yagyu story scene, but she has no backstory :( So for the first part, generic ninja's, delinqunets and apparently an Item Girl, you have no choice but to beat up Anna, then take her item (it could be anything). Part 2 has a beach ball lol, it can't be destroyed but you can kick it (I used Katsu this mission), and it can hit others. Part 3 has a Leader enemy, so take that one out fast, and there are ninja's and delinquents too. Remember, this is a timed mission, break those combo's when they are dead, and proceed as right as you can if you want to keep your combo's. There's a flotation ring, but I've no idea what that does. Part 4 has more of the usual, but Item Girl is back so go after her. Part 5 has a Leader Enemy, so go after her, and part 6 has the usual type of enemies, it wasn't till here that I noticed one of the delinquents is armed with a yo-yo >__> Part 7 is the final fight, more of the same but Item Girl is back again lol. My rank for comparison: B, with a highest combo of 423 in 3 min 57 seconds. Mission 3-02--------------------------------------------- SOLO SNEAKING HIBARI =Goal: Defeat all shinobi =Difficulty: ** =Time Limit: NONE =Note: requires Hibari =Enemies: 53 =Reward: Grandpa Sushi accessory, picture Ah, Hibari so cute... in the first part, there are some serious obstacles, try not to mistakenly combo them :P it's posoin gas and mohawnequins, which is the same for the 2nd part. Actually, part 3 is also the same, but there was one enemy shooting a boomerrang(?) at me, so keep an eye out for that enemy. Part 4, the final part, was again more of the same, but one enemy was throwing a .... rock? Might have been a grenade, it went offscreen so maybe it didn't explode yet :P For comparison, my rank: B w/ highest combo of 439 in 3 min 29 sec Mission 3-03--------------------------------------------- NOTE: You MIGHT want to level up Hibari as much as you can before this match. You won't be able to for some time afterwards. INFILTRATE HEBIJO =Goal: Defeat Haruka =Difficulty: *** =Time Limit: NONE =Note: requires Hibari =Enemies: 30 + change =Reward: Rabbit ears accessory, picture wuuuh, wuuuh, lol you cute Hibari... this is a one on one fight against Haruka! Well... she has friends, and I don't know who it was, her or the other ninja's, but there were much too many poison gas cloud explosions, so keep in mind that you'll want to stay in Aerial Rave against Haruka + ninja's as much as possible. For comparison, my rank: B, highest combo 368 @ 2 min 32 sec Mission 3-04--------------------------------------------- WHERE DA SCROLLS AT =Goal: Defeat Homura =Difficulty: ** =Time Limit: NONE =Note: requires Asuka =Enemies: 13 + change =Reward: none o_O H-Homura backstory? Day am. She has flamer ninja's, and I saw a grenadier, but you'll be fighting in the school yard, so combo them together as much as you can. It was.... actually easy >__> For comparison, my rank: A, highest combo 319 in 1 min 54 sec Mission 3-05--------------------------------------------- HIBARI'S TRANSFER =Goal: Defeat Mirai =Difficulty: ** =Time Limit: NONE =Note: requires Yagyu =Enemies: 21 + change =Reward: Headset accessory Here comes Mirai, the flachest girl in tow- *gets swiss-cheesed* This is one fight I actually lost for the first time in my shinobi career. Time to hang up the cape :( Mirai and her gang of goth dressed ninja's. They, like Mirai, shoot... bullets. You do not want to get caught in Mirai's Ninja Art, as I learned the hard way. My dear Yagyu be at level 15, so you might need to level up a bit more. If Mirai activates her Ninja Art, just jump (B) as quick as you can, hopefully you have some Ninja Art in your guage and just do the 2nd Ninja art in midair, L + Y, it should rain on Mirai for some serious damage. My 2nd go around: A Rank, highest combo 374 in 1 min 56 sec Mission 3-06--------------------------------------------- LAW OF THE HEBIJO =Goal: Defeat Haruka =Difficulty: *** =Time Limit: NONE =Note: requires Hibari?!? =Enemies: 1! =Reward: picture, glossary term Oh, Hibari is back! And she's in big trouble! Quick, rub her butt!..... Ahem, I mean, this is truly a one on one fight. There's no one else to combo with! What's even worse is that when Haruka falls, she might take a while to get back up, and when her 1st armor goes down, that might take a while too. I ended up having my combo broken when she got up and immediately fought back. Do not let her get in the air either, because she'll rain poison bombs. My rank for comparison: B, highest combo 99 in 1 min 8 sec Mission 3-07--------------------------------------------- HEBIJO INSTRUCTION =Goal: Defeat all shinobi =Difficulty: *** =Time Limit: NONE =Note: requires Hibari... =Enemies: 34 =Reward: NONE AGAIN!!! Ah, we're at Hebijo again. Did I accidentally choose the Hebijo academy at the title screen? >__> So this mission is split into 2 parts, and time is of the essence. Try to do this in 2 minutes, you'll have plenty of combo chances, so try to have your combo from part 1 transer to part 2. Now as for the enemies, it's funny, low level version's of the Hebijo 5. That is, there are machine gun maids, Slashers, mohawnequins, and snakes. I couldn't move my combo from part 1 to part 2, so keep that in mind if you want to A rank this. my rank for comparison: C, highest combo @ 578 in 3 min 31 sec Mission 3-08--------------------------------------------- HIBARI'S LOCATION =Goal: Defeat all shinobi =Difficulty: *** =Time Limit: NONE =Note: requires Asuka =Enemies: 109 =Reward: cat pajama uniform, picture Ah, there be the Yagyu backstory. Yagyuuuuu, don't cry. After that story scene, Asuka raiding party is here! In this 1st part are flamers, poison gasser's and, beam shooters. Combo them up, and try to combine it to the 2nd part, which has more of the same, and they show up not long after you can proceed, so joining combo's from part 1 is easy. After part 2 is done though, that's it for your combo, you'll need to proceed up and examine (A) the door. This 3rd part will have flamers, grenadiers and gassers, and move onto part 4, it was a rather long dash so no hope of joining combo's from part 3, but be wary that as soon as you see lamp posts, ninja's will drop on you and gunner maids will appear from behind, and this is the same for part 5, which will be the last part till the scenery changes. I should mention about the health of these enemies. The gunner maids have twice the health bars, if there's someone to combo, it's them, so when you can, have them bunch together and combo them, this is a long mission and spending time on them can hurt your score. Part 6 has more gunner maids, and part 7 has gunner maids + grenadiers, and part 8 has gunner maids + grenadiers + gassers, and parts 9 and 10 have the same. Just never leave gunner maids alone when they have distance from you. After that, scenery change. Parts 11 and 12 are the last parts, with the gunner maids being the most annoying. Again, close your distance, and if you are trying to get a high combo still, you can join parts 11 & 12, though that is hard. I typically had the gunner maids as the last ones standing. For comparison, my rank: B, highest combo 493 in 9 min 30 sec SIDE Mission 3-09--------------------------------------------- HOT SAND ASSAULT =Goal: Defeat all shinobi =Difficulty: ** =Time Limit: NONE =Enemies: SIDE Mission 3-10--------------------------------------------- STEAMY SHADOW =Goal: Defeat all shinobi =Difficulty: ** =Time Limit: NONE =Enemies: SIDE Mission 3-11--------------------------------------------- ARTIFACT RETRIEVAL =Goal: recover holy item =Difficulty: *** =Time Limit: NONE =Enemies: SIDE Mission 3-12--------------------------------------------- DON'T RIDE THE TIDE =Goal: BREAK 25 BOXES =Difficulty: *** =Time Limit: NONE =Enemies: SIDE Mission 3-13--------------------------------------------- CLASSIFIED INTEL =Goal: Recover flash drive =Difficulty: **** =Time Limit: NONE =Enemies: SIDE Mission 3-14--------------------------------------------- WAR IN SHADOWS =Goal: Defeat all shinobi =Difficulty: **** =Time Limit: NONE =Enemies: ==--\________________________________________________________________________ 4.d#|>CHAPTER 4 ==--/ Mission 4-01--------------------------------------------- THE GREY..... (AREA) =Goal: Beat Liam Neeson I mean Kiriya/Homura =Difficulty: *** =Time Limit: None =Note: requires Asuka =Enemies: 25 + change =Reward: None! Katsuragi! You go girl! After that touching story scene, it's Asuka versus Ki-... Homura, how in the world did he take her form? Never mind... It's not actually 1 on 1, which means mohawnequins and floaty balls of wood. Combo them up together as much as you can, if you have to use a Ninja Art, I suggest you do not do the normal one (on the ground), I found the jump + Ninja Art to be more effective in hitting enemies front and back, especially for this mission. My rank: A, highest combo 449 in 2 min 23 sec Mission 4-02--------------------------------------------- YIN NINJA SCROLL TRIAL =Goal: Defeat all shinobi =Difficulty: *** =Time Limit: None =Note: requires Asuka =Enemies: 59 =Reward: picture, glossary term x2 Ah, Homerun-chan. In this first part we got ninja's, mohawnequins, and snakes. I'm not sure how well you can join the 1st part combo's with the 2nd part, as there is quite a dashing distance, so just try to finish the first part of enemies quick, and make a dash for part 2. Part 2 has poison gasser's and snakes, I honestly don't know the difference between the colored ninja's, but I just beat thtem up as much as possible, but I do know they were gassing the heck out of me. Again, it's not easy joining combo's from part 2 to part 3, so just focus on quicker killing times. PArt 3 has quite a number of Mohawnequins, I suggest dashing and jump + ninja art, or as much as possible, catch many of them in an Aerial Rave to make it quick. Dashing forward to the 4th part, will trigger ninja's who will poof behind you, and in front, some ninja's that throw, you recall last time what I thought was a grenade, it's probably that again lol. There are also poison gasser's and throwers, that is, they throw a poison bomb. This is where you can join a combo from part 4 to part 5, so try to end part 4's fight near the right of the screen. It's not a long dash from part 4 to 5, so make those combo's work. It seems to be more of the same enemies, so keep in mind you'll see poison gasser's, poison throwers, grenadiers and fiery boomerang throwers, in addition to the mohawnequins and snakes. Don't let up though, because you can also join combo's from part 5 to the final part, 6, so do not be afraid to abuse the ninja arts (again, I like jump + ninja art, or Aerial Rave + ninja art). My rank for comparison: B, highest combo 307, 8 ninja arts used in 3 min 47 seconds. Mission 4-03--------------------------------------------- ASUKA TRAINING =Goal: Obtain Yin scroll =Difficulty: *** =Time Limit: None =Note: requires Asuka =Enemies: 70 =Reward: none :( Part one has ninja and in particular, gunner goth girls. Lucky for you, you can join combo's from part 1 to part 2, so make sure to dash once you can proceed, and when you dash into part 2, there will be ninja's in front, and some that will drop down behind you, so make sure you do not get attacked from the ones on top because they can break your combo's. The ninja's in front are slashers, so try to beat on all of them at once, which you'd probably transformed by now. This is important because you can again join combo's from part 2 to part 3, which has more of the same enemies. I did come across a slasher who put up a barrier, so try not to waste combo time on them. Lucky for us we can again join combo's from part 3 to 4, with gunner maids returning, and the ninja who appear from behind. Parts 5 and 6 are the same, but you might not be able to join combo's from part 6 to 7, so if you haven't kept it up till now, keep in mind it's a long dash. As you progress, you'll notice both types of gunner maids, I did see something of note, the purple- blue maids, the goth ones, are like a submachine gun class, while the gunner maid is the ranged gunner. So keep in mind, there's also flamers, so no letting up your attacks at any time. The last and final part has the scroll surrounded by wooden posts, slash them all to get the scroll, and it's mission complete. My rank for comparison: B, highest combo 495, 7 Arts used in 4 min 50 sec Mission 4-04--------------------------------------------- IKARUGA TRAINING =Goal: Beat all within time limit =Difficulty: *** =Time Limit: 8 minutes =Note: requires Ikaruga (was at level 20 for me) =Enemies: 82 =Reward: nnnnnnnnone... Dash a bit and begin the assault. You will face poison gasser's and a different kind of gunner maid, who has a crossbow that shoots flaming arrows at you, which is like, don't those arrows burn up in-flight? Never mind, it's a little difficult to join combo's from part 1 to part 2, which has more of the same, but ninja's will drop from behind. I honestly couldn't join combo's from part 2 to 3, so keep that in mind. There will be crossbow maids in part 3, and some destructable objects, and the last part will have more of that. It's a scene change next, so don't bother to try and extend combo's In the next part, hello poison gasser's, and more of the previous ninja's. Also keep an eye on those destructable tires, but trying to join combo's from her to part 6 is not easy, as there's too much dashing time, so just keep your fighting time down. Part 6 has a larger area so do not let the gunner maids keep their distance, as plenty of times I nearly had my combo's interrupted by them. Joining combo's from here to the last part is easy, so if you haven't, build up that combo for the score. My rank for comparison: B, highest combo 1032, 8 Arts used in 5 min 42 sec Mission 4-05--------------------------------------------- KATSURAGI TRAINING =Goal: Break all boulders (there's 3) =Difficulty: *** =Time Limit: none =Note: requires Katsuragi (was at level 16 for me o_o, leveled to 20) =Enemies: 55 + change =Reward: Empty! No more! Oh no, I think my Katsuragi is too under level. If it's the same for you, do give her some more training before proceeding. Now if it sounds like beating up 3 boulders is easy, you will be harrassed by fake Hikage's and ninja's, the best thing you should try to do is take quick shots at the rock, switch to attack the Hikage's, when you build up your green Ninja meter, transform and attack only to fill your ninja meter, that way you can do a ninja art (Katsu's first ninja art), this will build up your combo, attack the boulder a little bit and that will attract the enemy again, attack them again and then ninja art them, and then boulder attack, keep this up and you will have done it as quick and as high as I did. (try X attack on the boulder, not Y >__>) My rank: A, high combo 904, 10 Ninja Arts used in 2 min 20 sec Mission 4-06--------------------------------------------- YAGYU TRAINING =Goal: Beat 100 enemies =Difficulty: *** =Time Limit: none =Note: requires Yagyu (was at level 17 for me x_o) =Enemies: ...100? I beat 101 :P =Reward: These are training missions. Kiriya is too cheap to buy you new clothes, accessories, etc... So this is probably the most fun map here, I took a risk and didn't level her up before this mission, and what a blast it is. Your enemies vary from mannequins, goth girls, poison gasser's and regular ninja, but what is the best part is that you only fight in one large area, when enemies are defeated, new ones will automatically spawn in, continuing the fun. Do not let up your attacks, transform as soon as you can, and just spam Ninja art 1 when new enemies come in, and spam ninja art 2 (jump then L + Y) when you want to finish off enemies, this map was a blast, just remember to not spend too much time on near dead enemies. My rank: A, high combo 2279, 15 ninja arts used in 2 min 48 sec Mission 4-07--------------------------------------------- HIBARI TRAINING =Goal: SURVIVE! =Difficulty: *** =Time Limit: 3 minutes =Note: requires Hbari (was at level 22 for me (+)o(+) =Enemies: ENDLESS WAVE (I beat 37 :P) =Reward: NEW PLOICEWOMAN UNIFORM! NINTO ACCESSORY! THANK YOU CHEAP AZZ KIRIYA I died. On my first play through! Survive 3 minutes, it's hard when much of Hibari's Ninja Arts break combo's. Regardless, I think it's best to keep yourself in aerial rave as much as possible, as there are gunner maids, goth gunners, slashers, etc. They just keep coming, and if you are caught on the ground, they will fire at you. You can either stay normal, or transform, in either case I just stayed aerial rave whenever possible, and 3 minutes will go by like nothing. My rank: A, high combo 593, 7 arts used in 3 min SIDE Mission 4-08--------------------------------------------- SHINOBI TREACHERY =Goal: Defeat all shinobi =Difficulty: *** =Time Limit: NONE =Enemies: 135 So there's all kinds of colored ninja here, expect some serious attacks of either gassing, explosions, and wave beams. Part 2 is near impossible to continue, as it is a long dash, but! Be aware of a gunner maid who will shoot (explosive) arrows at you as you enter part 2, so jump I say. There might be a leader enemy, if you haven't transformed, do so, because it's going to be a doozy with gunner maid firing. Part 3 has more of the same, it's very hard to chain combo's between area's, so just keep your times down and go after the leader enemy (part 4 is also the same). Last part again the same, which would be the end before a scenery change, so no more chaining combos. Next part, color ninja's will dash you so start your attack. This second zone is the last segment of the mission, split into about 6 or 7 parts, it's hard bringing combo's over from each part, so if you want to get a high combo, just try to breeze through all these enemies until you get to a large area, which will be the last, and just build up your combo here, although it would probably be difficult because the gunner maids will try to keep their distance on the upper or lower part of the screen, and shoot at you, breaking your combo's. My rank for comparison: B, high combo 477, 22 arts used in 9 min 35 sec SIDE Mission 4-08--------------------------------------------- SHINOBI TREACHERY =Goal: Defeat all shinobi =Difficulty: *** =Time Limit: NONE =Enemies: 135 So there's all kinds of colored ninja here, expect some serious attacks of either gassing, explosions, and wave beams.

That is, mission 5-01 will be immediately followed by Mission 5-02, so if you want to train more, do so before doing mission 5-01. Note 2: these will be boss fights. If you have a tough time getting them into aerial raves, do use the X attack button more often than Y. Mission 5-01--------------------------------------------- HEBIJO BATTLE PLAN =Goal: Defeat all shinobi =Difficulty: **** =Time Limit: None =Note: requires Asuka =Enemies: 101 =Reward: None?!? Darn Kiriya forgot to bring a dresser along :< Ah Kiriya, now you grew up. Pfft, didn't buy enough clothes, man. Now once you start the battle, Asuka will meet 2 slasher variants, goth girls and gunner maids, there will be only 2 parts in this segment, so chain whatever combo you want to do between parts 1 and 2, and once that is done, proceed up to the next area. Part 1 will have more of the gunner goth slashers, but it's useless trying to chain a combo from here to part 2 because it's too far a dash, so be very quick in this part. Next, dash to part 2, which has a surprisingly small number of goth gunner ninja enemies, be very quick about them, then dash to part 3, which has gunner maids and slashers, combo'ing them is difficult because it is one very long dash forward. What's frustrating is that dashing forward will reveal the enemies behind you, so be sure to turn around and attack them, don't bother to try to chain combo's to the next area because it's a change of scenery. You will be instantly greeted by enemies, so immediately attack once the game finishes loading. It's gunner goth slashers, and again it's some time to dash to part 2, so be quick about all of this. Part 2 has more of the same gunner goth slashers, and trying to chain a combo from here to part 3 is not worth it. Make short work of them, then proceed to part 3. Part 3 is the last before another scenery change, which consists of gunner goth slashers. Be quick, and onto the next area. You will be assaulted upon reaching the next area. JUMP, I can't be more serious than that, as you will be charged and shot at. It's gunner slasher ninja's, and the same holds true for part 2. Part 2 is different though in that if you defeat them all there, you'll immediately be transported to inside the academy, and you will be met with slasher gunner maids, do combo the heck out of them, and proceed right to examine the door. Last part are Gunner slashers, and that's it! My rank for comparison: B, highest combo 361, 15 ninja arts in 6 min 25 sec Mission 5-02--------------------------------------------- First Emotions continued from HEBIJO BATTLE PLAN =Goal: Defeat Defeat Hikage

I found it hard to continue a combo against her, maybe I suck :P, but just keep the hurt on because she has 3 health bars >__< My rank: B, high combo 95, 4 ninja arts in 2 min 20 sec Mission 5-03--------------------------------------------- TRUE FRIENDSHIP continued from HEBIJO BATTLE PLAN =Goal: Defeat Defeat Haruka =Difficulty: ??? =Time Limit: None =Note: can only use Hibari =Enemies: 1! =Reward: a music track? egads! Even though Haruka is my favorite, she is unfortunately easy to beat, if mearely because I highly suggest aerial raving her as much as possible, if you use Hibari's 1st ninja art, it might knock her down longer, if you use Hibari's 2nd inja art (jump + L + Y), Haruka got up earlier, and was moving around before Hibari shrunk down to normal lol. So just keep the pressure on the aerial raves, Haruka has 3 health bars also, and it'll be easy. My rank: B, high combo 143, 2 ninja arts in 1 min 53 sec Mission 5-04--------------------------------------------- CLASS WARFARE continued from HEBIJO BATTLE PLAN (Haves & Have-nots) =Goal: Defeat Defeat YUMMY-CHAN =Difficulty: ??? =Time Limit: None =Note: can only use Ikaruga =Enemies: 1! =Reward: ah, no free mp3 this time :( Uh oh, Yomi guarded as soon as the battle started! What did I do? I jumped and down + X on her for an air strike. This should then start the infinite strikes you can do on her, for great justice, get her into an aerial rave, rave her again while in midair, then before the final strike, press L + Y for a dive bomb attack. This kept going and going, poor Yomi was defeated before I can extend the combo :( Don't worry Yummy-chan! I still love bean sprouts :D My rank: A, high combo 301, 4 ninja arts in 1 min 36 sec Mission 5-05--------------------------------------------- Solitude's last days continued from HEBIJO BATTLE PLAN =Goal: Defeat Defeat Mirai =Difficulty: ??? =Time Limit: None =Note: can only use Yagyu =Enemies: 1! =Reward: at least an eshop code, nintendo? FLACHEST IS IN THE HOUSE XD And she starts firing lol. Very not too friendly of a opponent for Yagyu's ninja arts, I tried using it at the end of a triple Aerial Rave, and Mirai actually survived the rain of hell. Best bet is to close distance from Mirai because she wants to shoot if there is just a meter of distance between you. No choice but to aerial rave her continuously. My rank: B, high combo 147, 6 ninja arts in 2 min 26 sec. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IS MIRAI DEAD? NOOOOOOOO Mission 5-06--------------------------------------------- At battle's end continued from HEBIJO BATTLE PLAN =Goal: Defeat Homura =Difficulty: ??? =Time Limit: None =Note: can only use Asuka =Enemies: 1! =Reward: new music track! LOL This was almost too easy, Starscream. Much easier almighty Asuka, than attacking the real threat.... er, I'm sad to announce that it was surprisingly easy to beat Homura. I just kept the aerial raves on, using ninja arts when I felt like it, but honestly I don't think the ninja arts were necessary, as it was fairly easy. Eh? That's not it? She's burning! Homura has transformed into Shakugan Shana! And she's....... still easy :( I'm sorry but I just aerial raved her again and again, she can't be the last boss, right? My rank: A, highest combo 281, 11 ninja arts in 3 min 53 sec Mission 5-07--------------------------------------------- Path of the shinobi continued from HEBIJO BATTLE PLAN =Goal: Defeat Orochi =Difficulty: ??? =Time Limit: None =Note: can only use Asuka =Enemies: 1! =Reward: new outfit! New picture! Music track! Glossary term! Camera tilt enabled! Microphone UNLEASHED!!! Camera control during COSTUME DOWN is ready to go!! whoa, big un-aerial raveable one. Just keep attacking, and when it disappears offscreen, you gotta jump because it will launch a clothes shattering attack. I suggest massive mashing of the jump button, double jump then down + X, this takes off a huge chunk of HP in less time, enough to build up ninja art to have Asuka use her mid-air ninja art. Rinse and repeat this as much as you can, and it will die. Ah, when it falls, you can still keep attacking in case you need to build up combo :D My rank: A, high combo 232, 15 ninja arts in 4 min 02 sec Mission 5-08--------------------------------------------- DAIDOUJI APPEARS!! =Goal: Defeat Daidouji =Difficulty: OVER 4 STARS! =Time Limit: None =Enemies: 1 x 5! lol =Reward: Daidouji :P This is a 5 on 1, non-stop battle against Daidouji. I suggest leveling up all the girls to at least above 30, because Daidouji is one tough, 3 health bar cookie. She also has an instant death dragon punch that just, I can't seem to avoid it. Or block it. Her other ninja art, which she actually has to prepare for, can be somewhat dodged, if timed right :/ Other than that, I feel sorry for my 3DS, as it's an aerial rave mash fest (depending on character). The continuous button mashing is too much lol.

You will face off against normal students and mannequins. Not going to be easy to chain the combo's to part 2, so make it quick, then move to the next area, part 2 has students and ninja's mixed in, and there's some boxes, do beat them up because I got 3 exp scrolls and you could too!

Note that Mirai puts up a barrier if you use X, so you just might be mashing that Y button instead. Now the bottom screen said destroy the dummies, I did that and either it didn't do anything, or it triggered that giant pink mecha, which has twice the health. For our little Mirai, you will want to do this mission as quickly as you can. Do note that her Ninja Arts needs at least some space between you and your opponent, each shot has lag time and if you are close, you could get hurt.

It will be a little confusing fighting, as there's a partition separating the floors, so just shoot and aerial rave when you can. It's a long corridor, so don't fight them separately, as you won't be able to join combo's with part 2, which has more of the same enemies. Part 3 on the other hand, has swimmers lol, and I saw a grenadier ninja. When you leave part 3, just shoot - dash as there are boxes in the way, and a long dash further is the final part, which has the previous enemies + 1 large enemy.

Not even a bean sprout? Looks like a job for Yummy-chan! Part 1 has mannequins, but part 2 has mohawk mannequins (mohawnequins), these guys have a bigger health bar. Tough thing is, there's quite some distance between the parts, so you might not be able to join combos, best thing to do is be quick about this, because there are boxes, chairs and stuff in the way, so beat them up for some items. Part 3 is the last, with the large pink mecha, and it's beany time for Yomi!

Swimsuit (Shirt!), Eyepatch accessory! Picture! Beat up the boxes, and run further left, which has more boxes, until you hear a "ding" sound indicating the arrival of mohawnequins and students. If you can time it right, you might be able to chain combo's here to part 2, which has more mohawnequins and poison gassers. You can also join a combo here to part 3, which has students and snakes. Some may appear from behind, so make it a dash instead of walking in :P Part 4 has mohawnequins, poison gassers, and poison grenadiers and students, so keep your guard up on any stray bombs flying around.

Wow, I lost 1st stage clothing. They weren't kidding about 4 star difficulty. There's some wooden posts to the left, with plenty of items, I suggest beating those up first, since Mirai likes to spend time shooting instead. I got a lot of exp scrolls, though your mileage may vary. Just Aerial Rave Mirai as much as possible, and do not keep distance from her.

With Mirai having had more playing time, she shouldn't be that underleveled, but if anything, I suggest you do not use her ninja art.

There is about 3 waves, all delinquents and kogals. You only fight in one place, and there are boxes and other destructable stuff, so try to have your fight go around breaking things too because it's very easy to get out of control with Hikage and just continually aerial rave.

The first part has delinquents and kogals, and... the Item girl without her backpack lol. She might be leader class, so get her first. The dash to part 2 is very long, so don't bother trying to bring a combo over from part 1, so beat up the bicycles on the way. Part 2 has an army of item girls lol, and there might be another leader class, so target her first. The dash to part 3 is interrupted by bikes again, so beat them up for items. Part 3 again has a leader among the delinquents and others, so target her again. Part 4.... lol, now that I look at it, the item girls do have their backpacks, and there's an army of ONLY them. A leader is among them, you can either take her down fast, or leave her alone and even more item girls will poof in, creating an endless wave of items :D My rank: A, high combo 190, 1 ninja art in 2 min 32 sec Mission 2-08----------------------------------------------------------------- STOP THE INSANITY =Goal: Get the scroll =Difficulty: ***** =Time Limit: 10 minutes =Note: For Haruka (might need to level her up >__>, I leveled her to 7) =Enemies: 140 =Reward: shinobi outfit x2 (Magical + Maid)! Maid Accessory! Music track! You will start on a roof, and there is nothing up here but a door to examine, trust me I didn't see it at first lol. Go through, and part will has swimmers and ninja's, they are poison gasser's, do not take your time here and just beat them as fast as you can, and if you want, you can chain combo's from here to part 2, which has the same swimmers + ninja's, do beat them up fast, as the way to part 3 is blocked with some boxes, so it's not easy to chain a combo from part 2 to 3. Tear the boxes apart for items, and meet more ninja's. I met a grenadier here in part 3, as well as the swimmer + ninja's. Part 4 has more of the same, though I wasn't able to chain a combo from part 3 to 4. Do keep in mind that if the poison gas gets annoying, a transformed Haruka can just lob a poison bomb at them with X. Don't bother with bring a combo over, because there's nothing but boxes here. beat up the boxes fast for items, then continue the mad dash left and into the stairs. Enter the real part 5. Swimmers and ninja's, make it quick. Part 6, maybe you can bring a combo over, but I couldn't. Swimmers and ninja's, but a leader ninja as well, go after her first. It's a large area so she might be running around lol. Once done, dash on to part 7, oh the poison gassers are becoming too annoying now that Haruharu lost her coat. There's a leader among them, so get her fast, don't bother trying to bring a combo chain over from here to part 8, as boxes will be blocking your way. Part 8 has more poison ninja's, and you might be able to chain a combo over to part 9, but keep on the lookout for a lone swimmer, who is leader class, take her out and mop up the rest fast. Once done, dash left to the stairs. Part 10. It's more of the same ninja's, but this time, we can chain combo's from here to the next. Part 10 will have a leader class, who will run around the place, hunt her down. Lucky for us, you can chain your combo from here to part 11, and extend your hitting streak. There's gassers, so don't dash too much. Do finish them fast, because I wasn't able to chain the combo from here to part 12, which has swimmers. Do not bother to try to chain a large combo from here to the next part, as it's a large area with just the lockers. Dash pound the lockers and that will be it. My rank: C, high combo 381, 3 ninja arts in 7 min 53 sec Haruharu leveled up to level 12 once this was done lol...

Yomi seriously needs more speed. Her swings are too slow, and you might break combo fast. Either you can lever her up some before this fight, otherwise Ikaruga tends to bounce around when you are aerial raving her. She also likes to Limit Break, whatever you do, perhaps sticking to the Y button only in this match is best. Do not do a Ninja art lol.

I found out something funny here, Y + A, Y + A, attack and dash made for a really hilarious combo from the very far left to the far right. You can do this, or aerial rave Katsu, but she's... somewhat easy lol. I highly recommend before the battle starts, to attack the boxes around this level, as those items are yummy and gave me a full ninja bar at the start :D My rank: A, high combo 157 in 1 min 36 sec Mission 3-03----------------------------------------------------------------- MIRAI VERSUS YAGYU =Goal: Defeat Yagyu =Difficulty: **** =Time Limit: None =Note: For Mirai =Enemies: 1 =Reward: glossary term (Before the fight, beat up the bikes for items.) Oh no, I really have a hard time using Mirai. I just can't seem to continue the combo. The best thing I found out was, just Y as much on Yagyu, when you catch her in an aerial rave, do pay attention when the aerial rave will end, because you need to drop down at the same time as her. Once she falls, wait about a second, and press Y to fire again. Yagyu should wake up into it, and begin the aerial rave again. No choice but to keep doing this, if you have any sort of distance with her, Yagyu will fire and you firing back isn't really recommended. My rank: C, high combo 105 in 2 min 36 sec Mission 3-04----------------------------------------------------------------- HARUKA VERSUS HIBARI =Goal: Defeat Hibari =Difficulty: **** =Time Limit: None =Note: For Haruka =Enemies: 1 =Reward: glossary term Er.... this was one very awkward fight. I'm not sure if Hibari was supposed to be that easy, or I overleveled Haruka in her last mission, but I suggest like before, attack the crates and stuff for items, one of them is bound to be a ninja art refill, use that to transform and lay the Y attack hurt on Hibari. Sorry Hibari! You're just so soft :P My rank: A, high combo 182, 1 ninja art in 1 min 38 sec Mission 3-05----------------------------------------------------------------- HOMURA VERSUS ASUKA =Goal: Defeat Asuka =Difficulty: **** =Time Limit: None =Note: For Homura (My Homura was at level 5! O__O) =Enemies: 1 =Reward: Thief mask accessory! Glossary term Oh boy, I say you gotta level Homura up some more. Asuka has a knock back attack that will really break precious combo's. Even though I didn't lose, being at a higher level means more damage, as well as making short work of her because there's a lot of time between a finished aerial rave and resume attacking. My rank: B, high combo 101, 1 ninja art in 2 min Mission 3-06----------------------------------------------------------------- Note: Mirai leaves after this mission. Level her up before this if you want SUMMER MEMORIES =Goal: Heal body and mind =Difficulty: ** =Time Limit: None =Note: For Mirai =Enemies: 82 =Reward: super sexy swimsuit picture :D HARUKA SWIMSUITYYYYYYY Ahem.So it's mannequins first time, apparently Mirai blows up the beach balls lol. Items are inside, so do get them. I'm not sure how well you can chain your combo from part 1 to part 2, but part 2 has the mohawnequin, double health guy, so keep it with other dummies to combo. You might have a better chance to chain the combo from here to part 3, which has more mohawnequins, and a pink mecha. Mecha has 3 health bars, and very fun to aerial rave, but do keep in mind one your last aerial rave, press down + X to do an air strike, and resume the attacks. The pink mecha might not die quick, so I wasn't able to chain my combo from here to part 4, which has more mannequins. A blue mohawnequin is a leader class, so take it down fast. Part 4 has swimmers, and there's a swimmer leader. Do take her out fast, and go to the next area. It's more dummies, but man do not make the snake your last enemy, it takes too long to die, because you can chain combo's from here to part 6, which has more mohawnequins than anything. Try to combo them together to save time, because a pink mecha shows up and it's time to bash this one in. After that, part 7 has swimmers and a leader swimmer, target her first then mop up the rest. Dashing right to part 8 will have some enemies come from behind, which are mowahnequins, and a leader pink mecha will be also here, target it first because it's a lot of work, best to mix some mannequins with it when aerial raving.

Music track! Oh man that Hikage backstory... Cheer up Kazami Yuuka, I still love ya. You gotta beat on Mirai, unfortunately. Kind of funny eh, thought she's dead one moment, gotta fight her the next, oh you silly Hikage :P I gotta say I unfortunately glitched Mirai near the edge of the level at the right side, she fell halfway into the barrier, and I just Y spammed her to the max. In any case, do keep close to her, do not leave some distance in between, and it should be easy aerial raving her :D My rank: B, high combo 132 in 1 min 32 sec Mission 3-08----------------------------------------------------------------- BABY COME BACK =Goal: Bring back Mirai part 2: the sequel =Difficulty: **** =Time Limit: None =Note: For Homura (She was at level 6, might be too low) =Enemies: 1 =Reward: SWIMSUIT x2 (Bunny and towel)! BUNNY EAR ACCESSORY!!! Ah, now it's Homura's turn. First beat up the crates for a ninja art item, then transform and beat up Mirai. I know it's going to be tempting to continue attacking once she falls down from an aerial rave, but I suggest you don't. There's a high chance Mirai can cut into Homura's slash, because Homura's slashes aren't as fast (or my Homura was under level), either case time it right after she falls, once you see her start to get back up keep attacking again. Oh, and Homura's ninja art spends too much time apart from cooldown to the next time she can attack, so I suggest you don't use it.

Where light doesn't shine, is.... underneath a girls' skirt :D Ahem There will be some wooden posts, beat them up for a ninja art item, and watch the fun begin. Hibari is quite easy to beat with just the Y button, just for fun I tried to do a ninja art, risky move as it almost broke my combo. Just keep your attacks on Hibari, if you ever give her a chance, she might Limit Break, breaking your combo.

IKA MUSUME?!? Well, this fight is actually going to take place in one large area, and it will be delinquents and students, and, I didn't see her at first, but an Item Girl is here, as a leader to boot.

I'm going to have a tough time caring for both of them :P AHEM, I unfortunately got a little upset that none of the destructable boxes had ninja art items inside, so I ended up doing the Y + Dash attack, which does give impressive combo, but really takes too much time. Best bet is to keep the heat on Haruharu, give her space and it's gas bomb time.

Oh my.... too much infighting. Am I playing a Freezing game? lol... HARUKA! MAI WAIFUUUUUU Cheer up, you can use me as a puppet anytime! Wait a minute! Of all the infighting missions, Haruka has it the hardest! No matter what, stay in aerial rave, because it's too hard staying on the ground. Maybe it's hard for me because I'm underlevel? Haruka is the highest of my team, at 14, so if you are having a tough time, I think leveling up is best. 3 tries! 3 tries and my stubborn self did it at level 14, it's hard but I highly recommend you level up at least to 15, and just focus on Homura, do not worry about the other ninja's, as they hurt more than they help your combo's. At least, if you are under level like me :/ My rank: B, high combo 248, 3 ninja arts in 2 min 59 sec Mission 4-05----------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FROM THE HEART =Goal: Defeat Hikage =Difficulty: **** =Time Limit: None =Note: For Yomi =Enemies: 30 + change =Reward: HAPPYNESS RIBBON accessory! Oh.... more infighting lol. Now, my Yomi was at level 9, and I swear, this is not enough. I had to abuse the ninja arts as much as I can because Hikage has and army of slashers with her, many times I found myself in the middle of the slashing, only the ninja arts saved me. Do level up a bit more before you try this level, because Yomi's swings are too slow to brawl the way I did. (Took me 2 tries >__<) My rank: A, high combo 301, 7 ninja arts in 3 min 28 sec Mission 4-06----------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: Cannot return to room if you do this mission! I recommend leveling up whichever character that hasn't not reached level 15 yet. Mid-air ninja art's just may be the one thing to save your butt. I suggest doing side mission 4-11 as that is just 2 minutes of combo fun. At least reach level 20. AN ENTICING TRAP =Goal: Defeat Hibari =Difficulty: **** =Time Limit: None =Note: For Mirai =Enemies: 30 + change =Reward: Accessory! Wait, we can't even see what it was!!! This was the most maddening mission I've done yet. Not only does Hibari have a gang of fighters and grenadiers, but it's hard to get Hibari in an aerial rave with so many punches and shooting going on. You can either do what I did or otherwise, I had to transform and Y Y Y my way to victory, using that to build up ninja arts to use Mirai's 1st ninja art on Hibari, it takes off a huge chunk of HP, and as you can see from my results, I am not ashamed :D MY rank: A, high combo 356, 11 ninja arts in 3 min 13 sec Mission 4-07----------------------------------------------------------------- Dancing Umbrella =Goal: Defeat Yagyu =Difficulty: ??? =Time Limit: None =Note: For Homura =Enemies: 1 =Reward: notting hill :( Oh no, one on one fight against Yagyuu. Very hard to keep up a combo, at least to me. I say break the boxes first, that is, if Yagyuu will even let you, then keep up the Y attack, unfortunately for Homura, her ninja arts are not very good against a solo target, so I just hacked away with Y and aerial raved her.

Accessory! Why can't we see it already :( Regular mission whew. First part has poison ninja's, a lot of them. If you defeat them here, you can chain your combo from here to part 2, which has more poisoner's with a poison leader, take her out first, then beat up the rest. Don't bother trying to chain a combo to part 3, it's a long dash, and there's more poisoner's and swimmers. Use Mirai's mid-air ninja art to make real short work of them. It's an area change, so forget trying to chain a combo to the next area. Meet a lot of ninja's in part 4, and there's a leader among them. Take her out first, then air ninja art the rest. Beat them, then on the way to part 5, you might notice some exp scrolls in midair, some you can jump, others will need at least a double jump, but the highest one, kinda hard to place where to jump :/ anyways, part 5 has more ninja's and another leader, so you know what to do. This is the last part, so watch out the the poison gassers.

My poor 3DS buttons, I lost twice, the third time, I never stopped mashing the buttons, and in the end, as expected, I was under leveled, so I had to do a time consuming method of Y X Y X hope she gets aerial raved, then maintain aerial rave twice and ninja art the 2nd aerial rave before it ends, forget using ground ninja art on Asuka, she really doesn't stay put.

Yomi actually won easy. Her swings are uninterruptable, making each sword swing at least 2 attacks in one, not to mention using full ninja art of L + X while on the ground, oh my... Just alternate between Y and X, and when you can aerial rave, keep it going fast because her swings are slow, losing altitude quick if you do not press A in time to continue the aerial rave. If you keep swinging and the aerial rave does not happen, hopefully you built up enough ninja arts to use L + X, it's a really nasty move.

Hikage hits hard and fast, so take advantage of that. Just keep the pressure up with Y, and get KAtsu into an aerial rave. If at any time Katsu kicks you halfway across the map, you can damage cancel and reverse course with A and Down + X, and resume the assault. Hikage's ninja arts are best used on the ground, as her airstrike is only good on multiple targets. Not too hard.

I don't know what kind of mood you are in, but shooting each other from afar is hilarious. But don't do it, somehow Yagyu's shots hurt more. Get Mirai to alternate between Y and X, and get Yagyu in an aerial rave. Keep doing so to build up Ninja arts, your goal is to spam Mirai's ground attack 1st Ninja Art, the one with her crotch gun >__> yes, it hurts more than any of Mirai's other ninja arts, so keep this up and maybe shooting from afar isn't so funny after all :P My rank: C, high combo 88, 10 ninja arts in 4 min 48 sec.

Hibari's bakabakabaka is so annoying, the only way to break out of that is Limit Break (R). You gotta keep alternating between Y and X, get Hibari into an aerial rave, and build up ninja arts for either the mid-air attack (jump L + Y), or the 2nd art, on the ground, L + X on a full bar. If Hibari does her 2nd ninja art, giant Hibari, just run from her. Otherwise, her 1st ninja art, I think is unavoidable.

Just alternate Y + X to get Asuka into an aerial rave, keep at it until you got full ninja art bar, and once on the ground, wait for asuka to get up and go L + X for the nuclear sword blast. It takes out a chunk of HP, so this is one fight I actually did easy. MY rank: Wait, there's still more lol. Run right and beat up the red people. Should be easy after what you went through. Part 2 has poison gassers, so make it quick. In fact, the whole way are gassers and flamers, so make short work of them then keep going right until you go up a stairs and into... shangri-la. Or what ever this place is, so green and peaceful... Ah, Yomi! And.... we have to fight her! Darkness Yomi is kinda hard to see lol. Just keep the attacks up like you've done against Asuka, and use the nuclear swords when possible. Why is Yomi much weaker than I thought... Uh oh, gotta run that red path again, same as before, gassers and flamers, just mash Y and X, don't bother using ninja arts. Now it's Hikage time! Er... it's easy. I'm not going to lie, spam X and Y, get those arts up for some nuclear swords, rinse and repeat. It took out half her HP... Uh oh, gotta run that red path again, same as before, gassers and flamers, just mash Y and X, don't bother using ninja arts. I did something funny. Run into the group of enemies, and Limit Break. BOOM. Mirai time! Poor Mirai. She desperately trie dto shoot, but to no avail. Just build up those ninja arts, and watch the nuclear swords chew through 2/3rds her HP. Red path again, bowl the enemies, go up the stairs, hi Haruka! She was actually a bit hard. Do not use nuclear swords when she's got her entire back facing the screen. She does something here that makes her immune to the nuclear swords. Might be a glitch, but her poison bombs really made it hard to get close to her. I couldn't even aerial rave her much. Enjoy the ending! =My rank was C :( =Reward: uniform x2! Shinobi outfit! Accessory! Picture! MP3! Crimson Homura UNLEASHED!!!!!!!!! Mission 5-07----------------------------------------------------------------- STRONGEST SHINOBI =Goal: Defeat Rin =Difficulty: **** =Time Limit: None =Note: For... everyone :D =Enemies: 1 x 5 =Reward: SUZUNE!! Didn't even give us a break from the credits, and then we got to fight Rin? That's 7 missions in a row :x Whatever the case, you have to fight her 5 times, with each of the girls. Can you believe my first try, every girl except Homura was able to beat Rin handily. What the heck.... you might not think of it, but you can abort this mission, and go back to the classroom. lol. Good! Because my girls are so under level, how 4 of them beat her is beyond me... ==--\ 6#=-->--DRESSING ROOM--------------------------------------------------(((((( ==--/ Thanks to Umbris_Letalis at GameFAQs for saving me some typing time! :D Hanzo====================================================== School: Hanzo Uniform Old Hanzo Uniform Hanzo Gym Clothes Animal Pajamas Policewoman Hebijo Winter Uniform (Unlocked from Hebijo Story) Girl's One Piece (Unlocked from Hebijo Story) Swimsuit: Stylish Bikini Old School Swimsuit Race Queen Swimsuit Sleep Shirt (Unlocked from Hebijo Story) Bodacious Bunny (Unlocked from Hebijo Story) Fluffy Towel (Unlocked from Hebijo Story) Armored Bikini (Unlocked from Hebijo Story) Shinobi: Hanzo Shinobi Outfit Burst Girls Outfit Rival Shinobi Outfit (e.g. Hibari wears Haruka's Shinobi Outfit) Cartoon Disguise Magical Girl Outfit (Unlocked from Hebijo Story *not 100% Sure) Shrine Girl Outfit French Maid (Unlocked from Hebijo Story) Extra: Smart Glasses Classic Eyepatch Toast Scroll Munch Headset Grandpa's Sushi Ninto Plushie Angel Halo Fox Ears Rabbit Ears Cat Ears Short Wig Hebijo===================================================== School: Hebijo Uniform Hebijo Winter Uniform Girl's One-Piece Swim: Stylish Swimsuit Sleep Shirt Bodacious Bunny Fluffy Towel Armored Bikini Shinobi: Hebijo Shinobi Outfit Rival Shinobi Outfit (e.g. Haruka wears Hibari's Shinobi Outfit) Magical Girl Outfit Shrine Girl Outfit French Maid Extra: Stylish Glasses Evil Eyepatch Thief Mask Teacher's Glasses Little Silk Hat Platinum Tiara Amnesia Hat Maid Headgear Bunny Headband Might Shinobi Mask Hibiscus Happiness Ribbon Short Wig Nobleman's Hat Strange Cat Ears Seductive Ribbon ==---\ 7#=-->--Frequently pondered questions>-------------------------------------- ==---/ Q: Who is your favorite? A: HARUKA MAI WAIFU. I love her, that crazy outfit, that seductive nature, that giant bow on her head, such a wonderful girl for whom I'd give my life to. And she's the only one who makes her big ones bounce in the dressing room! Q: I meant who is your favorite to use, baka. A: HARUKA MAI WAIF.....oh. Well.... I like to play as Haruka. I like to see her transformation, I like to see her clothes break, I like to see her poison her enemies, fun girl she is. But I also found Hikage fun as well, what slashing power! Q: You betrayed Ikaruga! A: I still love her, those glorious pantyhose legs.... Q: You watched the anime? A: Heck yeah! Loved it, and I recommend you watch it too.

A: Eh, I had to use my 3DS charging cradle while playing, dude. The cradle! I should have bought a grip attachment, but darn it I had to use the cradle lol. Q: I can't use the girls' 2nd ninja art! A: Gotta level up to level 15 for that. Q: mangatron!
