Ninja Time War Mode Guide
War Mode is the team wave challenge players search for when they need Mastery, Copper and spins between code dumps. Community wikis document a 30-wave format with a boss every 10 waves and recurring EXP / Copper / Mastery / Spin payouts.
Creator videos such as ziprss’s War Mode build showcase lean on Wood + Boil and Explosion AoE to clear packed trash before saving mode bars for boss gates. The expired WarModeReworkWhen! code only named the mode — the activity itself stays live.
What War Mode is
War Mode is a cooperative wave arena: clear escalating enemy packs, fight a boss every ten waves, and cash out XP, Copper, Mastery and spins. It sits beside raids and Boss Rush as a core PvE loop.
Stack Friday–Sunday 2x XP weekends and accept missions before long runs so Toki and mission credit ride along with the wave rewards.
Waves & bosses
Trash waves scale roughly as 7 + wave number on community guides. Boss checks land on waves 10, 20 and 30. Bring AoE for packs and a filled mode bar for bosses.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| 1–9 | Enemy count scales roughly as 7 + wave number on community guides. Clear packs with AoE (Wood, Boil, Explosion) before the first boss gate. |
| 10 / 20 / 30 | Boss waves every 10 clears. Bring sustain and a filled mode bar (Meteor, Susanoo, Purple Eyes, Six Paths) for the burst window. |
| Rewards | Periodic waves pay EXP, Copper, Mastery and Spins. Treat War Mode as a spin + mastery farm between code dumps and raid windows. |
Best War Mode builds
Priority kits are wide AoE: Wood Release + Boil, Explosion clones, Thousand Hands and Purple Eyes. Solo is possible on strong Divine / Mythic kits; parties make boss waves safer.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Wood + Boil AoE | ziprss’s War Mode showcase leans on Wood Release plus Boil for packed waves. Equip Wood ultimates and Boil DoT, then fly between packs so you are never surrounded. |
| Explosion clones | Explosive Clones (Explosion element) clear clustered trash while you reposition. Pair with a tanky clan or Second Life Immortal if you solo. |
| Thousand Hands / Purple Eyes | High-AoE Divine / Mythic kits that already farm raids also melt War Mode waves. Keep one mobility skill hotbarred for boss telegraphs. |
