Why are you writing this guide?
I enjoy helping others by writing about technical topics to a higher standard and provide key findings for a higher chance of success!

Who is the intended audience?
The guide is for everyone, but much friendlier to new players. Everything will be explained to be on the same level as those who are the most experienced. The writing will be easy to follow with plenty of screenshots for those who are too lazy to read everything!
Starting Out
The game starts with no tutorial and fights will be triggered when going past the third desk.
Before going forward, practice how to dash to perform early combos in the small safe space.
Combo Starter: Back Elbow
The back elbow is a weak melee-range dash attack that is available from the very start.
The move should begin from the wall with ample space to begin dashing.
After the elbow lands, a series of quick attacks immediately follow to stun lock.
The final move will be a kick that sends the enemy to the ground.
The move can be repeated again for the rear enemies if they were not altogether.
All enemies must be forward-facing to inflict most damage.

Note: The combo can easily be interrupted by any flanking enemy.
Blocking
Enemies are the most dangerous when recovering from the ground.
Blocking works most of the time except male enemies in suits who throw dust to stun.
The counterattack must start after blocking the first hit to avoid giving the enemy time.
Even More Practice!
Once all enemies are defeated in the first room, more reinforcements will not arrive.
The player now has the entire room alone to practice combos for crowd control.
Stomping (Level 2)
This move is inflicting additional damage to incapacitated enemies.
The enemy can be stomped up to 3 times before recovering.

Stomping can be risky and vulnerable to counterattack when there are standing enemies.
The move should be avoided when any enemy is performing a dashing attack.
The move affects only the grounded enemy and does not stun lock standing ones.
Healthcare Management
The character automatically receives full healing when leveling.
An eye should be kept on the experience meter to see when the next level up is.

Food should be used for emergencies only when there are 3 bars of health or less.
Only destroy the vending machine or crate when needed (image shows what it drops)
The school has no food shoppe for additional healing during fights.
Best Recruit (Georgios)
The worthwhile recruit is Georgios, and he first spawns next to the swimming pool.
He uses a lunging kick to knock enemies back and can be lifesaving from a stun lock.
Head Stomp (Level 3)
The jumping attack instantly downs enemies to be stomped on immediately after.
The range of this technique can be increased with dashing and safer from counterattacks.
Airlifting Enemies
Dazed enemies who are surrounded by stars can be lifted into the air when forward-facing.

This maneuver is recommended for isolated enemies to avoid counterattacks.
Volleyball Save (Level 4)
The upgraded form of back elbow with a much larger AOE attack.
Cafeteria
The last room before meeting the first boss and best area to grind more levels (health).
One of the schoolgirls can bring the chain, which is the best early long-range weapon to crowd control without endangering self.

Note: The room must be revisited after clearing the current wave to continue gaining experience.
Boss Misuzu
The first boss will be tough because she is very "intelligent:.
The real challenge will be the inability to heal with food items during mid-fighting. Unlike other bosses, every hit will be a mounting health burden.
Need a Free Redo?
During the boss fight, a no money loss redo can be done by simply exiting the game with Alt and F4. The game will resume from last save as if the boss encounter never happened.
1st Health Bar
Misuzu is the least aggressive when healthy but can be dangerous during her counterattack.
The dashing attack of the volley ball save can be done to safely do a combo after the first stun.
Alternatively, the head stomp attack can also be done safely without being able to do combo.
2nd Health Bar
Her next set of attacks requires dashing around the room to safely evade her jumping attacks.
She will land at the circular shadow (red arrow) and be briefly dazed (rubbing her bottom).
A total of 6 quick attacks can be inflicted with first 3 knocking her down and 3 more while on ground.
Afterwards, a dashing retreat is needed to avoid her AOE fist ground attack.
3rd Health Bar
Her last form involves triple jumping attacks in succession and best to attack when briefly dazed.
Her damage is boosted and will inflict more harm.
Freedom?! Not Yet!
After beating the boss, a makeup kit is obtained for extra damage against female enemies.
Schools keys are also given to access the previously locked rooms in the school.
A quest is now available at the cafeteria kitchen that rewards an item for extra early cash from Godai missions.
The Dojo
Before heading back to school, make a quick visit to the Dojo to buy 2 special moves.
The Double Dropkick is a long-reach dashing attack that is better than Volleyball Save.
The Dragon Feet delivers a flurry of kicks while stun-locking the enemy.
These 2 specials will make crowd controlling easier and finish the enemy off faster.
Epilogue
This concludes the hardest stage of the game and do not be afraid to grind for more levels if not confident for the next boss.
