First things to do when you load in
StepWhen you enter the game, rivals and bullies nearby are your first source of cash. Winning fights gives you cash you can put into skill upgrades. Once your skills are stronger, fights become easier and the cash comes in faster. Also grab the free reward that refreshes every 12 hours.
- Find a rival or bully and start a fight
- Win the fight and collect the cash
- Spend that cash to raise a skill level
- Claim your free reward if 12 hours have passed since you last collected it
Building cash early on
TipsAce Tests pay out both cash and skill points at the same time, so they are worth doing regularly. The 12-hour free reward adds up if you make a habit of collecting it.
- Fight enemies close to your current strength
- Take Ace Tests whenever you can — they pay cash and skill points together
- Log in every 12 hours to collect the free reward
Handling a teacher chase
WarnTeachers come after you when you are late or caught fighting. Find somewhere to hide and wait out the chase, then return to earning cash. You can deliberately provoke teachers with antics like farting and burping, but do that intentionally rather than by accident.
Skill types
TableYour skills cover attack, defence, and movement speed.
| Attack | beats enemies faster |
