I'm ranked 3rd overall.....
http://cooter-splitter.mybrute.comAnd a quick strategy guide I created that you can send to your pupils....
OK....
Here's my basic tutorial (just created on the fly)
On your first day, you can fight 6 times... each day after that, you get 3 fights...
Each time you level up, you will be rewarded. Sometimes it's with a weapon. Sometimes it's an attribute upgrade, and other times it's a special ability. So far it looks pretty random... My guy is high strength, and for some goofy reason, he keeps getting weapons... I have more weapons than I could possibly use in a fight.
Best way to grow quickly is through referrals. My suggestion would be to mass e-mail everybody in your e-mail contacts list... Other good places are your Facebook, and Myspace or Twitter...
Make SURE you check in each day... Don't want to waste any opportunites to grow...
Best weapons I've seen so far -
Power - Hammer, Club... Hammer seems to do the most damage... Pile driver is vicious too
Rapid attack - Throwing Star - a guy with throwing stars can sit back and just attack multiple times without you being able to launch a counter...
Distance - Stick, and Whip... These two can keep somebody at bay by allowing the user to counter as the attacker charges...
When Challenging an opponent... Be wary of an opponent that has low attributes and heart. Those opponents usually have pets like Bear, Wolf, or Dog, and can do a TON of damage. However, if your guy has a net, feel free to challenge them. You'll usually throw your net on the animal, and now face a weaker opponent solo.
