well heres my lvling strategy for aco =/
turn aco asap
get lv1 heal via poring or something from south pront
go to pris and ks at populated areas
you only need 1 hit on zombies to lv once for a while, so dont need to worry about sp
and if u die...just go back...its not like u havta walk very far (btw use the hairdresser lady in pront to warp to prison by asking for money, dont 4get to apologize b4 trying to go again)
eventually ull get the hang of when to dodge zombies, but basically...heal bomb from as far as u can ONCE then run away a little, rinse and repeat
