How To Rank Up Grades In The Hundred Line Last Defense Academy

There are a total of five grades to rank up, each with two individual sub-grades that you’ll actually earn points in. As you rank up the sub-grades, the corresponding overall grade will also rank up.

Endurance

Mobility

Despite their differences, there are three ways to rank up all your grades:

Class Activities are indicated by a green icon over a characterduring free time. This will have you spend time with that character and get a few points in a set grade based on who you are hanging out with. Usually, the points given will be for both sub-grades for one grade. TheGrade a character will give points is indicated by the gray icon(s) below the green Class Activity iconwhen looking at that character on the map.

As you progress through the first three weeks, you’ll also get access to the Gift-o-matic and the Library, which can both also be used to rank up your grades. The library gives you the ability to more specifically target individual sub-grades, as some require more points to rank up than others. The Gift-o-maticuses materials obtained from explorationand makes them into a gift to give to a character, and if they like the gift, you’ll get points in whatever grade that character specializes in.

Which Method Is Best For Ranking Up Grades In The Hundred Line Last Defense Academy

While it does take a bit of effort to get the materials,gift giving offers the most Grade pointscompared to the other two methods, even using up other days to get the materials through exploration. Characters will either love, like, or not like a gift you give them. If they don’t like the gift at all, you won’t get any points; if they like the gift, you’ll get a little bit more than a regular Class Activity with them, and if they love a gift, you get a lot more points in that Grade.

You can give the same gift multiple times, and while it will be fewer grade points, it will still usually be more than a Class Activity.

You can see what kinds of gifts a character likes by going to the Report Card in the main menu. Scroll over to a character, then go to the “Preferred Items” tab to see what kinds of things they like. As youprogress through the main story, you’lllearn more about each character, and more preferred items will appear in the list.
