You'll easily get to Level 42+ doing the main story and all the side-quests depending on how many optional battles you fought, but you'll need a bit of a boost to hit Level 50. Luckily, you can buy Soy Milk items from Big Tony in the Underground (down the manhole in the parking lot) to quickly max rank. You can earn unlimited money from the Underground tournament right there if you need it.

The dodging challenges unlock as part of the story in Day 3 and you'll do the Easy challenge to move on. This challenge has you moving around only (no catching or countering), avoiding balls thrown at you from outside the court. Normally, it would be quite difficult but luckily the challenge only ends when you take damage and if you have the Accessibility slider set to 0% damage the challenge will technically never end. Instead, wait about 90 seconds getting hit in the face, then pause and move the slider up so getting hit does hurt you, ending the challenge and awarding an S-rank. Repeat for Medium and Hardto unlock the achievement.

The defense challenge will unlock as part of the story on Day 6. This will entail surviving as long as possible while immobile, only able to block incoming balls with . With the Accessibility options on and damage taken at 0% this will be impossible to fail since it only ends when you get hurt. Wait 90 seconds similar to the dodging challenge, then turn your damage taken up so you can end the challenge, netting you easy S-ranks on all three levels.

The strength challenge will unlock as part of the story on Day 5. This will entail destroying a car Street Fighter style by catching and throwing balls as quickly as possible. With the Accessibility options on and damage at 400% this will go extremely quickly, netting you easy S-ranks on all three levels.

After unlocking Can't Touch This (30G), Timing Expert (30G), and Professional Car Wrecker (30G)this achievement will also unlock.

This could be done in any number of fights during the game, but a great spot that I did it is during the side-quest "An Unexpected Crisis" which has a number of one-on-one battles where the enemies have very basic throws and there are multiple balls on the court at the same time. I'd suggest turning your damage done down to 5% in the Accessibility options so you only do one damage per throw to avoid killing your opponent since you have to throw the ball back for him to return fire. The trick to catching a ball is to pressright before it hits you. If you do it too early, you'll swipe at the air instead. Once you catch ten balls perfectly in a row the achievement will unlock.

This one is fairly self-explanatory, but didn't unlock for me until I did it multiple times. Oviously the theory here to only move by walking around the court and throwing balls. You want to dodge only (no catching or countering balls) and avoid getting hit throughout a full battle. I got this after my fourth of fifth successful attempt when fighting the kid outside the school that has the side-quest running throughout the game, so it's possible it doesn't work from the random encounters with the red fist icon. Regardless, keep trying against various opponents and it'll unlock at some point.

Any consumable item that you receive can be used on any party member, but some like things more than others. When you select an item, you'll see their preference on screen and can easily choose the correct character. You'll get enough of these items as battle rewards throughout the game, but can also purchase items from Big Tony if needed.

There are a total of 10 side-quests to complete in the game. I am unsure if the majority of them will transfer from day to day in the story, so I would highly suggest completing every quest available on the map before going to sleep each night. The exception to this is the obvious one for fighting the same kid every day. Be sure he is dizzy on the ground each night when you go to sleep, as the icon on the map will never disappear. The quests are as follows:

1. Day 1: A Simple Experiment (near the plaza) - Defeat Kyabo and return to Noemi.
2. Day 1: A Daily Challenge (outside the school) - Defeat the kid every day (will end on Day 8).
3. Day 2: An Impulse Purchase (2nd floor of the school) -Purchase the Old Shoes at the Dodge Shop and return.
4. Day 2: An Unexpected Crisis (outside of the school) -Go into the school and talk to George behind the desk, then defeat some enemies for the grabber, and return outside.
5. Day 3: Find the Glasses (in the plaza) - Speak to a group of girls to the north, then see the lunch lady in the cafeteria. Defeat her goons for the glasses, and return.
6. Day 3: Nature's Desire (fountain outside the Dome) - Find three goons running around and stop them. One near the cable car to the north, one near the infirmary, and one in the forest. Return to the fountain.
7. A Weird Place for a Game (school bathroom) - Complete the Bathroom Games (see Can't I have some privacy? (15G)).
8. Day 4: Keep Your Trade Secrets (outside the lab) - Fight Noemi, then defeat the three hooligans in the forest. One in the north, one in the center, and one in the southeast. Return to Noemi.
9. Day 5: Underground Tournament (sewers) - Complete the tournament by talking to Big Tony.
10. Day 7: Find Graphic Novels (dorms) - Find three hooligans: one near the lab in the forest, one in the parking lot, and one in the mountains. Return to the dorms.

Remember to beat up the kid from Quest #2 every day and one final time on Day 8 to unlock the achievement!

You need to purchase everything in this shop (next to the dorms) for the All Geared Up! (30G)achievement, so this will come along the way. You'll probably get it at the end of Day 4 if you spend all your money here, which you should.

Nothing in this shop is required for another achievement, so I'd suggest getting up to $100 and then saving your game. Buy a bunch of items to get over $100 and unlock the achievement, then reload your save to get the money back.

This achievement can be done basically right at the beginning of the game. You will need to roll by hittingand continue to mash that button to gain more and more speed before hitting something. The main sidewalk outside of the school fountain or the main hallway of the first floor inside the school are both great spots for it.

The "Bathroom Game" is essentially a game of rock, paper, scissors but in dodgeball form. To win these imaginary battles, you will want to always use Throw if you have a ball and always use Catch if you don't. You'll only score a hit and win if your opponent chooses to use the Focus ability when you use the Throw ability. It takes some time since what your opponent chooses is random, but follow the above advice only making those two moves and you'll win all three "battles" eventually to unlock the achievement.

The first chance at this is in Day 4 when you unlock the parking lot of the school. Any battles fought out here will have cars that randomly spawn on either side of the court, then drive forward. They idle for a second on screen before zooming forward, so you should have plenty of time to move out of the way. With the Accessibility options on, you'll basically be one-shotting every enemy which will end the battle quickly as well, minimizing the chances of a car hitting you.
