Stage 1 – General game explanation
Buildings
You are able to built a few buildings. for instance the Wizarding Arena, Mech Workshop and Gym. These buildings provide stats/upgrade points when following a course. A building can be inactive – Low – Normal – High. Depending on the efficiency level, it will cost upkeep (Blue gems). The efficiency level can be upgraded via research.
Gold
Gold is earned by completing missions and slaying enemies. You may also buy a market that generates gold each month as a passive income.
Arcstone (Blue gems)
Arcstones are requires in order to pay for the upkeep (building efficiency) and buying research upgrades. You can gain Arcstones by lowering efficiency of building or by finding them during missions. Students will also pay amount of Arcstones in order to follow lectures at your school.
Leveling up characters (heroes)
Leveling up characters is a big factor to success in this game. Stats like damage and HP will increase significantly when upgrading a character.
It is important that you upgrade a student 100%, as each skill will increase its damage output.
In research, make sure you level up the Battle category. For the building, make sure you get a Detention room as soon as possible.
The basic list contains 4 classes: Magi (blue), Knight (red), Cleric (green) and Arcsmith (yellow).
You can mix those classes to promote them towards : Ksatria, Bogatyr, Arc Draconus, Scholarsage, arc Magica and Arc Divina.
If you level them up a bit further they can be promoted to the advanced class. These are: Paladin (Knight class), Summoner (Magi class), Medica (Cleric Class) and Arcwright (Arcsmith class). Stats and requirements earned can be seen on the right side of the page.
Research
Research will improve (or unlock) new buildings. For starters it is best to get the “Gold Efficiency” and “Arcstone Efficiency” research available under “Academy”. This will lower the costs for further research.
Graduating
As times goes on, you’ll graduate students. Each students gives you Academy Prestige Points. You’ll need a total of 4.000 of these to earn a trophy. You’ll also earn new buildings as you progress from a D to S rank.
Platinum School Story
Obtain all trophies
With the current build (Patch 1.000.002 ) the Platinum trophy is obtainable. The blueprint for upgrading the Arcsilo can now be found. This makes the trophy “Legendary Researcher” obtainable.
We found the blueprint on the map West Valthir Mountains, behind the big boss as shown on the picture below. It’s possible you may find this blueprint on any map, in any chest.
The End?
Defeat Fellwing and finish the main story
This trophy is part of the main quest and cannot be missed. It will be unlocked depending on your ingame pace of beating the main story missions. It will take place in the map “Sky Castle”, which will also unlock the trophy called “Don’t look down“.
Prepare for the fight:
– Make sure you have 3 students maxed out (Arcwright/Medica/Summoner/Paladin)
– Have the buildings Cafeteria/Infirmary/Detention Room/Recreation Hall on efficiency level “high”
– Have all 4 battle researches maxed out (2.275 limit)
– Buy all potions available
– The skill Lightning Bolt works amazing (200% damage) on the Summoner class
