An efficient way of leveling in Adventure High.
For the corresponding monsters mentioned, refer to the Monster List.
Note that this guide is based of Heroic Plotline, but works on any plotline.
This is NOT a walkthrough for the overall game. Go to that page if you want one.
Levels 1-10
LEVEL 1:
You'll always fight a Demoman as your first enemy. Simply hit it once with Burst from Val and he'll die.
Head to school, get Sarah, head back into the Dungeon and head to floor 3.
Once at floor 3, you'll start fighting Baby Slimes and Tentacle Grapes. Keep fighting those until you reach level 3. It shouldn't take too long - head back to your room if you drop low on Stamina.
LEVEL 3:
Head to the Dungeon and proceed to floor 4. Blue Footed Boobies are rather tough enemies, but fully managable at this level. Have Sarah and Val attack while the Protagonist keeps your HP up. Keep this up until level 6.
Note: If you want to access Val's mind, it's adviced you do so at level 5.
If so, simply head to the boss and kill it. You can stay for a short time to gain some fast EXP, but with no way to recover Stamina outside of using Rest which might put you in for a world of hurt, it's ill adviced.
LEVEL 6:
Head to Dungeon Floor 7. Rubber Naga's starts spawning on floor 6 along with Mature Slimes. They're quite a bit tougher compared to the Blue Footed Boobies you've been leveling on so far, but they're not too bad. Rubber Naga's has a high magic defense stat, so if you have Grapple with the Protagonist, use it instead.
You're only here for 1-2 levels.
LEVEL 8:
Head to Dungeon Floor 9. Here, you'll find Slime Girls and Skull Slimes. It's ill adviced you fight Skull Slimes, but it's fully possible. Slime Girl, however, has 705 HP and gives 700 EXP. They're also weak to Fire, so bringing Sarah is highly recommended. If you have other members by now (such as Cassandra), feel free to swap Val out.
Now, you have two goals here: The first is to get enough Physical magic with the Protagonist to learn Trip. The second is to reach level 12-14 with all characters.
Once you do, head to dungeon floor 10 (if level 12). Otherwise, floor 11.
While possible to stay longer, the EXP starts lagging a little after level 14. It's recommended you stay here no longer than that.
Levels 10-20
LEVEL 12:
Dungeon floor 10 has 2 enemies: Sprout and Skull Slime. In all of those battles, kill the Skull Slime first. This cannot be stressed enough. Once you do, the Sprout becomes harmless. Simply kill it with Trip or Grapple.
If you, by this point, has obtained Ashley, swap her in if you so please (suggested you remove Sarah in that case).
LEVEL 14:
Head to dungeon floor 11 at this level. Mandragoras spawn here and they can cause a Stun Lock for on your characters due to Grapple. Use Trip with the Protagonist every single chance you have while the others hit them with their hardest hitting spells. I advice you rest up after every battle. Head to floor 12 once you're level 16.
LEVEL 16:
Here, we'll fight Flower Girls. They hit hard, they hit fast and they can Charm. Also Poison you.
Your best bet for defeating those is to bring the Protagonist, Sarah and anyone of your choice. Have the Protagonist use Trip (should deal around 3-400 damage) on one of them, then quickly finish that one off with weaker spells such as Grapple. They have a high magic defense, so Physical magic is preferred (bring Ashley if you have her).
However, as they only have 600 HP and give 1000 EXP/each, leveling here is very easy and very fast. Do so until level 20 on the Protagonist and around level 16-18 on all other characters. Then head to floor 15.
LEVEL 20:
This is as far as you'll get as of version 0.39.
You'll fight the Alure Fish here. With 1300 HP, this guy has HP for days.
That said, hit it with Trip from the Protagonist to heavily delay him and hit him with your hardest hitting spells with the other characters. It's highly recommended you head out and save after each fight. Luckily, there's a Sigil here, meaning no time lost in getting back whenever you need to.
A high leveled Ashley with Rapid Punch is capable of killing it in one shot with enough Stamina remaining. At level 24+, it's possible for her to kill it in one shot even at around half Stamina.
The lowest known level she's been seen killing it in one shot was level 18, using Rapid Punch.
Trivia
- As of version 0.39, the highest possible level leap is 8 (from level 1 to level 9).
