That being said, there are several achievements in Dodgeball Academia that should not be covered up. Completionists can acquire every item, max out their entire team, fight every battle, and find every chest and still not figure out these achievements. So don’t feel bad about reading a guide to figure out what to do.

Get Every Teammate (Cannot Be Missed)

The Fearsome Student - Have Mina join your team Reaching New Heights - Have Balloony join your team Now We’re A Real Gang - Have Suneko join your team The Cat Is Out Of The Bag - Have Shoy join your team Anikis For Life - Have Kyabo join your team

Players can debate about which teammates are the best and which are the worst, but no teammate can be missed. They are part of the main plot. There is no secret companion out there and picking them up is all part of the main storyline.

Between maxing out stats and engaging in all of the optional battles, it’s natural for many completionists to go out of their way to find the secret achievements. There are a few of those, but the low-hanging fruit involves simply beating the game once.

Ouch, My Head!

Hit your head while rolling at a very high speed

The trickiest part of getting this achievement is not getting enough speed. It’s hitting the head specifically. To do so requires running into something while going down/south. Don’t save up money just to spend it on agility items to go faster, it can be done in the very first episode quite easily.

Head to the green building by the forest and head up the stairs. Then go directly down and spam the roll button. Eventually, Otto will run facefirst into a bench, completing this achievement.

What’s Your Problem?

Hit 10 people with a ball while outside of battle

Don’t play nice with the bystanders. Chucking balls at innocent students outside of battle is an achievement. Hit ten of them and it’s off to the next achievement.

Car-Tastrophy Averted

Win a battle with cars without getting run over

When the parking lot gets unlocked, players will be greeted with lots of opportunities for combat, each of them with cars going across. Win one without getting run over. Save at the beginning just in case players manage to run into a car during every battle.

This is one of the few times when dodging works better than jumping, so feel free to shift to a character with a roll instead of a leap for at least one skirmish.

First-Class Rookie

Defeat Boris during Episode 1

Beating Boris in the first episode is a mountain of an achievement. It’s probably better done during a second playthrough or by altering the difficulty settings. Either way, make sure to save before this encounter first as things can go south in a hurry against Boris.

The basic idea is to never let Boris have more than one ball at a time. Always hold the other two. This makes it so he can’t use his special moves.

I Can Feel The Power!

Have Otto unleash his first Balltimate move

The Balltimate move should make a regular appearance during about any game of dodgeball, so almost every player will get this one without ever needing to be told. To whoever beats the game without getting this achievement: Hats off.

Can’t I Have Some Privacy?

Beat all levels of the Bathroom game

During chapter four or later, visit the restroom and talk to the occupant. He’ll want to play a game of table of dodgeball but as a tabletop style RPG. The easiest way to win is to always catch when not holding any balls and always throw when in possession of a ball.

Dodgeball Academia was released on August 5th, 2021, and is available for Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One.
