Not sure why some of you seem to think the MR9 test is downright impossible without advanced gear. I really am not great at any of this, but I passed this test with a basic Valkyr, three weeks after starting to play the game.

True, it was painful and I was close to giving up on the test - but all it took was for a friend to explain to me that the enemies have clear patterns and to point them out to me. He took the time to coach me on where to wait and when to proceed. (If you count that as being carried, then I have to point out that nothing was given to me except reasonable advice.)

It still took me a few tries and cost me considerable frustration, but if a player as awful as I was at even basic movement could do it without at stealth frame, then I feel that everyone should be able to, given some (or maybe a lot of) practise and observation.

That goes for all the tests. I'm MR28 now and some of these tests had me stuck for weeks at a time. If you get stuck, do something else in the game and only return to practise the test when you feel less stressed by it. Some of the tests are ridiculously easy, so sometimes having to put effort into being able to progress seems like a fair deal.
