Looked at some videos of the UN trials and they look batshit insane. It's a bit absurd that you have 3 scythe wielding epigonos just spamming UTs at you though. MN05 seems super tough but you can just spam UTs while making laps and switching the camera as needed to keep an eye on everyone. Did MN01 (seems like the strat is to leave regular ninjas alive as long as possible and spam the scythe), pretty close to getting MN03 as well (legit the Van Gelfs are what I've died the most to). They feel completely unbalanced, but somehow I'm making progress. The Scythe grab is punishable with YYY, as are many other longer strings (find he usually does the full string, less cutting off half way). Scythe if you dodge in through the UT when he's charging it you can SoB as well. There are lots of opportunities to punish but he can slide into you dealing damage.


And then several of its moves if it misses you you can punish. You can SoB its own sword UT that it charges by dodging diagonally towards it to clip it as it misses you. That said: when it's using sword, it doesn't have any ranged abilities so you can just run or dodge cancel away and charge a UT. And then at the 75% mark it uses piercing void and if you don't dodge it it can instakill. The fact that you have enemies and a first phase to not lose health to, and then the boss itself has three different weapons it can swap between whenever each with their own movesets is some wild shit. I think people generally regard that as the hardest main story boss.
