stats question.

what are the most important stats for combat? I have been at this game for a long time and can not seem to win a fair fight, by which I mean someone of my level or close to it if someone could please give me some advice or point me to the thread that would help I would be much obliged.

level is irrelevent with the exception of life

i have stats higher than a quite a few level 100s. but have lower stats than people sub-50



its all about battle stats and equipment

in terms of what stats are best, the prevailing theory is that balanced is the best for the most part, as you need all 4 aspects of battle stats to be sucessful, most people tend to find their own balance style though based on how they like to fight

i like a little more dex and a nice smoke to start off a fight

others like super high def so opponents 0 them

the only stat u need is defense kid, whore it n u will never lose a fight guaranteed

Strength and speed, that's all you need. Not being totally serious of course, but you do need to do damage to the other guy if you want to win. You can't win with defensive stats only.

Overall you need all of those stats, try to balance every stat

You will be happy for this in future, guaranteed :)

with some balances it can sorta work tho I overall agree with Jussi here

you did be very dead if he didnt have a pillow tho.

You need all 4 stats but they dont have to be equal. Just dont let 1 or more stats fall too far behind.

Other things help with fighting as well in no particular order. Educations, faction specials, job specials, weapons and armour, merit spending, temporary weapons , weapon mods.

Holy smokes, you have to have had more breaks from the game than periods where you play oO Didn't know anyone over 5 years old could have such low statistics while still logging in.

To be honest, you want do focus on something completely different than leveling and attacking. I would recommend following these steps:
1. Put ALL money in the bank for 1 week periods, and all money you get you put in the bank. Once you reach 200M in the bank you start with 1 month investments, all the way up to 2B. Be sure to have all your merit upgrades in bank interest!
2. Get the bank investment stock when it is at a low point, but probably not before you have 2B to invest (or gradually, getting 5M worth here and there at low points).
3. Log in 3 times a day, that's 300 energy you can spend every day in the gym (450 if you are a subscriber).
4. Do your crimes, and bust 1-3 people from jail every day. For crimes, you can read my guide linked in my signature.
5. Make sure you you get all educations completed now while you are not doing drugs.

That's my point DD, he is a heavy def build while i'm more "balanced" (1b+ each) - in this case we can see he would likely have won right?

but even with the odd example like that I'd say balance > whore.

honestly all depends how high your building your stats too over 20b i think Whoring would make sense for instant, Cindy 5b Each prolly, if she whored Dex to 10b once she hit a balance 5b Each would put her at 25b if someone with a Balanced 6.5b each attack her they will lose big time. because her with a tyro there would mean GG so i think it depends on how high you build if you building under the 10b Mark Maybe a balanced System is Good but going over a bit of whoring in Defense or Dex Is great.



just point from me might be wrong.

Yes at that point sure but only because of SEs - I'm talking about normal players where gaining 100m a month is normal vs gaining 100m a day

So your question spurred me into action. If you want to nerd out read my method and conclusion as to the "ideal" battle stat ratio here:
