The attack power sweet spot for the ninjas is between 159 (Shoguns ignore anything less than that) and 189 (ninjas dodge more than that). You’ll ideally want your birds attacking with damage somewhere inbetween there even if you have to give them a weaker weapon.

I used the Druid, Samurai, and Skulkers personally. Skulkers would make Matilda poison everyone. Samurai attacks and shields when needed. I used a stun weapon on him since he hits 3 separate times which gives him 3 chances to stun. Druid heals and attacks when she isnt healing. Skulkers go after the Shoguns.

Since you dont have any high leveled friends, I was suggested to use Red as Samurai, Matilda as Princess, and Pigiana as a good combo to for this cave. Prince Porky works as well, but he doesnt have much health in comparison. Piggy McCool works too, but Pigiana has that dispel ability which makes him the most useful.

With Matilda as Princess, Red can protect when needed and use his rage chili on Shoguns and other pigs that do not have the dodge. Matilda directs all pigs onto Red, healing him as needed and Pigiana uses the counter attack on Red as well as dispels those annoying smoke shields. Go for Shoguns first was my strategy when they were there then take out those awful Master Ninjas. Take them out one at a time and you should have no problem with this cave.

Other classes you can mix and match would be Lighting Bird and Rainbird for Chuck.
Rogues and Marksmen if you want to use the Blues.
Paladin could work if your other two birds were able to hit the ninjas or you gave him a weaker weapon.

A weapon that stuns is a good idea for Red to have as Samurari. Avoid critical damage weapons as they can miss ninjas. You’re going to want to have your classes upgraded if possible to at least veteran (elite is ideal) and/or make sure your level matches, is very close to, or exceeds the pigs in the cave (they’re level 25). Keep your health up and dont be afraid to use potions if needed. That breath of fire may only take 55 from the birds, but its nearly killed my birds before when they’ve ganged up on one of them. Matilda may not always be able to heal them well so having some potions is important.
