Questions players asked about Battle Stats, researched by TornLife.
- What is the best training routine to grow battle stats quickly?
Current guides agree on the basic routine. Train each full energy bar in one go after using as much candy as you can, all within one quarter-hour. Then train a 30-point refill, and from level 15 add 1 to 3 Xanax a day, …
