Developing your students into formidable warriors requires a keen understanding of teaching and student development within the Officers Academy. This guide focuses on how to effectively nurture your students' talents, guide their class progression, and foster their growth both on and off the battlefield, ensuring they reach their full potential.
Academic Year Structure
The game is divided into academic years, each culminating in a major battle. Within each month, you have a set number of activity points to spend during free time. These activities are crucial for developing your students. Prioritizing which students to focus on and which activities to engage in will significantly impact your army's strength.
Skill Development Through Activities
Various activities directly contribute to student development:
- Teach: Directly increase a student's proficiency in a chosen weapon type or magic. This is essential for unlocking combat arts and meeting class certification requirements.
- Battles: Participating in auxiliary battles or story missions grants experience points, leveling up units and improving their stats.
- Seminars/Lectures: Attending these scheduled events provides significant boosts to specific skills or stats for all participants.
- Training Grounds: Ass students to specific training regimens to improve their skills over time.
Class Progression and Certification
Guiding students through the class system is vital. Each class offers unique stat bonuses, proficiencies, and skills. To promote a student, they must pass a Certification Exam using the appropriate Seal. Encourage students to train in weapon types relevant to their desired advanced or master classes. For example, aiming for a Wyvern Lord requires proficiency in Lances and Flying.
Budding Talents and Personal Skills
Each student possesses a 'Budding Talent' which, when nurtured, can unlock powerful skills or grant bonuses. For example, a student with a budding talent in Bows might learn 'Bowfaire' faster. Their 'Personal Skill' is unique and often provides a significant passive bonus. Understanding these innate abilities is key to optimizing their development.
Motivation and Morale
Student motivation and morale are crucial. Low motivation can lead to reduced effectiveness during activities and battles. Engaging in activities like sharing meals, giving gifts, and winning battles helps maintain high motivation. Building support levels with other students also positively impacts morale.
