1. This is basic to pretty much all RTS but i’ll mention it anyway:

• early game you should focus on economy as much as possible and get as little defense as you can get away with
• once you are in the endgame (4-2 rounds left) you shouldn’t get any economic upgrade anymore and just focus on upgrading defenses

That means if you can get away with only relying on your character to defeat the first waves, do it.
Towers or even a squad of melee/ranged defenders are sometimes necessary early on so you pretty much need to check what works for you.
(The defensive units become very valuable on bigger maps where attacks come from a lot of directions)

2. From what I’ve seen some enemies (especially the ones charging directly for your castle) can be directed into certain routes by walling only specific portions of the map and leaving others open – you can abuse that behaviour

3. Your character can grab the attention of enemies by attacking them, but you will lose it if you walk too far away – you can use that to kite them around in a circle – preferably in front of some towers or ranged defenders – If you do it correctly you should be able to do it without ever getting hit
(can also be used to split a group of enemies off into other defenses that would otherwise be out of range)

4. If your mobile defenders are outnumbered you should have them hold position (hold ctrl) behind walls or other obstacles, especially if your choice of perks/weapons/etc. prevents them from spawning again – this is much more important for ranged units than it is for melee units

That’s most of the general stuff, there is much more to it since there are very specific things you can do differently depending on which perks/weapon you use – which is pretty much the charme of this game

1. On Frostsee it is very good to have the mine in the west before wave 2 (requires the architect perk) this will enable you to grow your economy much faster – you can focus on building the fishing income after that (you may want to consider not upgrading the ones you cannot consistenly keep alive, because boats need to build up and it takes some time)

I don’t think there’s any other specific tips that I think are usefull at the moment – there are very strong weapon/perk combinations but it’s better to figure those out on your own

Let’s School is a school building life simulation game packed with various features and mechanics. However, some features are often overlook and the overall game mechanics can be quite overwhelming to new players. Here are some tips and tricks to know when you first start out, or some things you might not know whilst playing the game!

Sakura Valley is a flat land ideal for making large single builds, Peony Springs is an island plot suited for multiple smaller builds.

Play the tutorial at least once! Can’t go wrong with knowing the basics.

Read the manual by click on the “?” Icon.

When starting a new game, it’s best to pause the game first.

Pressing the Tab key will hide your walls.

The various “junk” around your school can have stars, this will help boost your school level.

Your starting students are chosen from a predetermined pool. They range from poor to rich but also in quantity.

You can invest in your starting community by clicking the notepad on the bottom right of its UI.

Playing on normal or hard difficulty: demolishing will only refund 80% and 40% respectively. Try not to sell objects only to buy them again, it’s better to move existing objects instead.

Your headmaster (Your player) does not need a salary.

Do not delete the well or outhouse in your early game, as they are a source of water and toilets. Subsequently:

Your teacher’s “training” level is their maximum stat potential gained while training, If it surpasses this, the training will become long and resource consuming.

You can upgrade or downgrade a building’s material by building over them.

After discovering other rival schools, they will attempt to invest in other communities, This will make you lose influence causing less students to enroll in your school.

Dispatch students will continue studying and fulfill their needs automatically.

You can buy more land by clicking on the signs outside your build area.

After researching school reform I you can use the dispatch map to explore regions. But did you know you can drag to see even more regions? These are unlocked through more school reforms.

Students and teachers forming friendships will increase overall satisfaction levels.

The Management level of a teacher can increase the maximum capacity of researchers, students in classes, and the amount of management points in department management.

You can build sports facilities on top of buildings.

Loans are surprisingly forgiving. Don’t be afraid to take some.

You can place objects on the same tile if there’s a object attached to a wall.

Elite teachers can be hired from the job market, or by trading them from rival schools.

Security Rooms when staffed will stop delinquency events and confiscate contraband.

Students with “Righteous” traits can stop delinquency events.

Explosive Temper and Naughty are hard to manage, be careful not to admit too many of them that would exceed the class’s maximum management capacity.

Classroom exclusive objects can give a small boost to teaching.

Morning Classes that is unlocked through research can give boosts to a specific subject.

The Teaching Policy that is unlocked with School Reform III will automatically recruit students to their designated classrooms, do note that this will also automatically set their schedules to suit their subject needs.

Basic monuments will work as tier 2 special classes, Advance Monuments will work like tier 3 special classes but can be used by 3 classrooms at the same time.

Computer room will work as Tier 1 Special classes and can be used by any subjects, however you may only build one of them.

Speeches can give buffs for the rest of the day, you can only do them once every week so use them wisely.

Lounge room is a good way to increase a classroom’s friendship.

Clean Up morning classes makes student clean everything nearby their classrooms first.

Trash bins prevent trash from accumulating, brooms and cleaning closet cleans up trash that is already present faster.

Lights tend to be cheaper than windows in terms of lighting.

Stairs take time to climb, use elevators for multi-story buildings.

Passageways are like shortcuts. Use them on important places like cafeteria, classrooms, and various transport facilities like bike sheds and car parking.

Cats will interact with students, and teachers, and will sit on various objects when they’re doing nothing.

Headmaster Mode can be access on the lower right part of your GUI.

You can only build and go up to 8 floors maximum.

Communities have a maximum cap on students who can enroll per week.

Coal burners, and food tent are objects that constantly catch on fire.

Room levels can boost efficiency. A level 3 management department will give you more management capacity. A Level 5 classrooms will boost teaching efficiency.

Communities in the dispatch map are randomized. Same goes for the rival schools.

Trade with Rival schools to get modules, building objects and Elite Teachers.

Pause admissions if you don’t want to get receive students from a specific community.

Contribution Points are more valuable than money when trading with other schools.

If your student have more than 3 demerits, you may expel them.

Custom Blocks are your go to object for detailing your school. They are unlocked at school reform 2 in Corporate Culture. They also cost 1G each.

Teachers will ask for salary depending on the school level and base stats. They are more likely to ask for a pay raise the longer they are in the school.

The cost of investing in a community will increase each time. Try not to invest all in one single day, as rival schools will also try to invest.

Contribution points with a thumbs up on them will provide a bigger boost compared to money or contribution points without them.

Full marks are better than passing grades. They give extra rewards too. Try to focus on getting your students to full marks to reap those rewards.

Only school level 0 will allow you to get money from building facilities.

You don’t have to immediately rank up your school. You can “store” some of the points you earned to rank up multiple times.

After getting School Reform 1, dispatch your grade 2 class instead of your grade 1 this will allow them to beat most map encounters in the first region.

Unless you’re playing on easy mode, use as much space as possible in the starting buildings, as building new structures is more expensive.

Roofs in the early game are overrated, if you want to make extra money at the start, just sell your roof.

Items can be bought/traded after discovering shops in the dispatch map. These items can be very powerful if used correctly.
An example item would be the books that allow your students to gain knowledge. Use this to maximize your students who can’t reach their study needs in time.

Emergency drills such as Fire drills and earthquake drills are permanent. Meaning you only need to do them once per classroom. Ideally you should do them after the 3rd day when you get no more student admissions but if you are playing on hard difficulty, I suggest doing it twice, on the first day and the end of the third day.

Sell the snow mans.

Other than losing out on a few points, there is no “maximum” size for rooms or facilities. Which means you can make the worlds largest toilet, cafeteria, or parking lot.

You don’t need to make multiple needs facilities if you centralized. This will lessen the management load.

Your first 3 starting teachers have the lowest salary. Keep them as service staff such as Food tent, Cafeteria, Infirmary, and Security. You may also fire them however.

Rival schools will invest in communities to gain influence on them. If you invest against them, they will lose they’re influence and have a chance to closed down.
However! Make sure that you trade with them first or else you’ll lose out on the items and teachers you can get.

Alternatively you can also NOT invest in those communities and make them stay for as long as you want.

You can make tiny rooms with no consequences as long as you meet the necessary objects. Use this to your advantage if you’re running out of cash.

Some landmarks in the dispatch map will give you rewards for completing them, if you need some extra cash, I recommend going to those landmarks. Each landmark also gives an item at least once.

Teachers that work as homeroom teachers will gain management certificates overtime. When building a new management department use the teachers from the classrooms Instead of recruiting a new one with the required certificate.

School stores are a good way to earn early game money, changing what the store sells for each season will increase the likely hood of students and teachers purchasing from it.

Benches can increase friendships which will increase satisfaction, I suggest placing some around the school as they will make people happy.

Answering the spirit of the well correctly will: Give two students in grade 1 that have passing grades.

Arcades give the most money/purchase in the entire game. Place your arcade in the middle of path where students will likely go through to increase the chances of them using it. It also has the benefits of satisfying entertainment.

The last day of any week will always be an exam day, you can expect most of your students to already have passing grades. Use it for community volunteering as they give you 1000G Each.

You can remove a pillar/roofs that is supported by another pillar. You can remove the pillar below it to make a floating pillar/roof. Personally I use it to make hanging roofs.

1. Holding shift will let you run.   Double tap shift to dash/sprint.

If you got a big boo-boo in the leg, you can’t sprint or vault over walls anymore! If you have a injury in the arm, you will shoot less straight!

2. Tap spacebar once, and your character can shout “Clear”, “Weapon cache found”, “Blue diamond”, “Friendly!”, “Friendly Friendly!”, or when injured bad, “I’m hurt, need help”. All depending on situation, room, status, or where you look at with cross-hair. Example: when you look at a closet with a weapons cache, and you tap spacebar once it will shout “weapon cache found!”. Tapping spacebar once is very handy when entering from 2 sides to let your teammates know you are friendly. Or when you have bad boo-boo and need help from a teammate! So TAP spacebar once to let character shout! Holding spacebar makes you talk over radio, but that you know.

3. Use C, to mark, ping, or tell sh!t so teammates know where to look ,shoot, or go at!

4. NEVER EVER block doorways, halls or other tiny fatal-funnels! Fire & Move, and keep f4cking moving! A static object is a dead object. Clear Point of Entry, FAST!

5. Moving across windows, doors, murder-holes, or other openings?! Do it with an arch; lean left (if window/door is on left-side), side-step/strafe (left), pre-fire or shoot if needed, lean right (if you come on the right side of said door/window). In short: Cover Your Bases (Fields of Fire)

6. Always have full (360) security! Don’t all look at one point, that’s pointless!

7. Keep 2, to 3 paces away from walls, doors, and/or windows, so your muzzle doesn’t get stuck! You will lower the muzzle when, teammates cross in close proximity, or in front of you, and when coming close to, or with objects. This is part of, or has to do with, “Muzzle Discipline“.

8. Always try to go behind your teammates when moving out or peeling. Never walk in front of a friendly barrel, bullet doesn’t give a f4ck about who you are! If you really have to go in-front during a fire-fight, call out “CROSSING!”, and hopefully your teammate doesn’t have a happy trigger finger when he sees the contact.

9. FUNDAMENTAL! Always Bring a Buddy! Find a battle-buddy and stick with him until you both walk out alive, or die bravely together. Where he/you goes, you/he goes!

10. Breaching, tearing down the flag, or placing explosives should be done in agreement with all teammates. Don’t do something stupid without checking on, and with your teammates! Example: Missions where you need to find cache/IED or tear-down the flag, wait, and be sure that everyone is ready before you take action. Maybe a countdown, or just good communication.

11. Do everything as a TEAM, if action calls for the team to split-up, take your battle-buddy with you! Never go in alone, or you die alone!

12. Don’t bring back only one KIA via the LAAV! You have only 1 respawn for the WHOLE team! If you know you can’t heal your buddy, sprint back to the LAAV and bring back the 3 KIA. Remember, when you get back “re-spawn” you DON’T have the weapons you started with, you spawn as a regular F-N-G! “M16 iron sights baby!”.

13. Do not run out of AMMO! Restock at the LAAV if, and when you can. When you need it, it’s too late!

14. Speak, Tell, and Command! Speak importance, Tell danger i.e -injured, enemy movement, etc., this includes own movement and/or action(s). Command when needed! So listen, think, speak, suggest, take action and adapt!

15. Last one, and most important! Speed! Speed is f4cking key! When entering a building, speed makes or breaks the moment. Hesitate, stand still or panic and you, and others behind you will die! So when going dynamic, you go in aggressive, and with full f4cking force! Never stop in fatal-funnels! A good example: Pointman always looks forward and tells what he sees i.e. door right, closed door left, stairs going up right hand side, trip-wire, etc., (crouch so 2nd-man can shoot overhead if front contacts are equal or superior to yours), 2nd-men looks left side of pointman and to his own left side, 3rd-man does same as 2nd but on right side, tail-end-charlie “lastman” checks back at all time, 3rd-men should ALWAYS speak/shout “lastman” when moving out or when displacing, lastman doesn’t have eyes on his back!

Plan your position, but be flexible! Adapt and overcome.
