So, you're new to the game, or you just came back after taking a long break, if so, welcome and welcome back! Below is my version of the BEST leveling guide I can give y'all newcomers and veterans.
Level 0-750: Get a good AOE (Area of Effect) quirk like Voice, Mushroom, Acid, Tail, Big Fist, etc. and farm in the Gym (located at spawn, has a big dumbbell sign) until level 500. Hit as many punching bags as you can at a time. The more punching bags you hit, the more EXP you get. Don't worry, no one can hit you here since it's a safezone, not even bosses.
Level 750-1000: Get Shock Absorption (Uncommon Quirk) then buy and equip the Nomu Knee Bracers from Mei Hatsume's shop (located in a corner of the central area of the map) and grind Tomura/Present Mic. Make sure to use a Dagger, and upgrade it to Tier 3, which has a level 750 requirement, however that won't be a problem at this stage. Start adding most of your points to durability, while still keeping strength pretty high.
Level 1000-5000: You can now get rid of Shock Absorption once you reach level 1000 and try and spin for a quirk like Mushroom or Acid, as you will need a passive effect quirk for this step. Buy a Katana, can be ANY tier, go into the Gym, and try and hit Mt. Lady from inside the Gym using the Katana's B ability. Once Mt. Lady is aggro, she will come towards you but will not be able to damage you as you are in the Gym. Take advantage of this and use Mushroom's F ability or Acid's V/F ability, or, if you cannot get either of those quirks, just hit her with your weapon of choice. Once she dies, wait for her to respawn and repeat the process until level 5000. This may take longer than other steps. Mid-Step, Level 3000+: This is completely optional, however it might make things faster. Once you hit level 3000, roll for Shock Absorption and equip the Nomu Knee Brace. Put most stats into durability and keep strength only slightly lower than durability. Grind Nomu/Mt. Lady with the Tier 3 Dagger or Event Item from outside the gym, this time camping at their exact spawn and spam-clicking. If you die, use the Mt. Lady gym method to get some more levels to put into durability and strength then try again. YOU DO NOT NEED MORE THAN 1000 STAMINA! Do NOT waste your points on stamina, put 500 in it at first and when you're at level 5000, that's when you can add points into stamina but once again, do not exceed 1k.
Level 5000-8000: You've now reached a third of the max level, yippee! You now have access to the Overworld, an area where bosses are much stronger but provide MUCH more rewards, such as increased money, increased fame, and most importantly, a massive increase in EXP. For this stage, make sure to have Shock Absorption. Once again, equip the Nomu Knee Bracers and grind Mt. Lady with your Tier 3 Dagger (If you have an event sword, USE IT instead of the dagger) until you reach level 8000.
Level 8000-15000 (MAX): The final step until you finally reach max level! At this stage, you have 2 options; Keep Shock Absorption and find a powerful Mushroom user to help you grind Mirko in the overworld, OR become the Mushroom user and grind Mirko yourself, however this needs a relatively high level and good durability, so don't do this at the early stages of this step. If you're doing the first option, make sure you have a good durability stat, as well as a relatively high strength stat. Party the Mushroom user and have the Mushroom user party you as well, and camp at Mirko's spawn while non-stop clicking. Once you reach the 10000-12000 level mark, you're able to become the Mushroom user and grind Mirko on your own. Once again, have a high durability stat, and prioritize durability over strength. Keep doing this until level 15000, max level.
CONGRATS! YOU HAVE REACHED THE MAX LEVEL!
You can now either chill until the next update, help others grind, carry raids, or PvP. If you're PvPing or carrying raids, make sure you have a good raid quirk like DOFA (Deku's One For All) or TAFO (Tomura's All For One). Both of these quirks are insanely good at both raids and PvP.
If you enjoyed this guide, please let me know! I'd also love to hear how long it took you to get to max level using this guide. If I made any mistakes or you have any suggestions, once again, make sure to let me know.
