While not a traditional RPG, you can optimize Jimmy's 'build' by prioritizing certain activities and upgrades:

The Brawler Build:
- Focus: Maximize Gym classes early for enhanced melee combat and stamina.
- Weapons: Prioritize melee weapons like the baseball bat or rubber band ball.
- Clothing: Wear outfits that boost health or damage resistance.
- Strategy: Engage in direct combat, using combos and grapples. Win boxing matches for extra health.
The Prankster Build:
- Focus: Maximize Chemistry classes for crafting powerful throwable items (firecrackers, stink bombs).
- Weapons: Slingshot, Spud Gun, and all crafted items.
- Clothing: Outfits that enhance stealth or speed.
- Strategy: Use stealth, distractions, and ranged attacks to avoid direct confrontation. English classes help with taunting.
The All-Rounder Build:
- Focus: Attend all classes as they become available.
- Weapons: Utilize a balanced arsenal of melee and ranged weapons.
- Clothing: Mix and match outfits for various situations.
- Strategy: Adapt to any situation, using the best tools and skills available. This is generally the most recommended approach for a first playthrough, as it provides the most flexibility.
No matter your preferred style, always ensure you have enough money for snacks and ammo, and don't neglect your daily classes.
