Hi all, I lurk. I'm quiet and keep to myself. One thing about the game that I have been wondering about since the gym changes is this. I train even stats. All four are within 5k of each other. Is there really no special gym to unlock with this build? If not, any recommendations on how to change up to open special gyms but keep my build? Thanks in advance. I'll check back in later.
There really is no special gym you can unlock with this build. Also, even if you do change your build and manage to open one, it would close as soon as you left that particular unbalanced format.
Personally, I like a balanced build. But arguments can -- and will -- be made here for both Hanks' and Baldr's ratios.
The only special gym you can unlock with balanced stats is the SSL gym, which you can't comply with its requirements (Under 150 total xanax).
The game gives a stat boost to players playing with more unbalanced stats. The last updates around the stat grow specially so. In particular, DEXTERITY with seems to be the better stat right now to 'whore' (Have more stats over the rest).
If you managed to stay balanced all this time I salute you. You will likely win more fights if you keep it this way.
The biggest argument for training one stat over the others is the benefit of exponential growth. Reaching the point where stat enhancers are cost effective as opposed to FHC's more quickly.
Imagine only training speed. You could be #1 in the BS HOF, but would still not be able to beat a pack of butter in hand to hand combat.
you can just slightly alter your build to be 5-10% heavier on offense stats to keep frontilne open. mine are currently 24%,20%,31%,23%. I have frontline & total rebound open for special gyms
I have 3 stats around 2 billion and 1 at 1.4 billion.
i can see all 4 stats are great at their jobs. The pharmacy needles are great they really boost a stat up and give great fighting power.
But sometimes it feels like im lacking something. Many of the best players pump up 1 massive stat, usually a defensive 1, im thinking about doing that to be honest.
But usually i am happy having balanced stats, you do fight well if you have all 4.

the nearest build which may take sometime to achieve but can be easy to maintain is baldr's build.
choose either offense or defense stat
Ex: (with rough percentages) If you choose strength, start traning strength till you open gym3000 and then open the gym and it will also bring you to ope frontline fitness.
then open that gym.
start training strength in gym3000 and speed in frontline and def and dex in georges. this way you will have nice buffer every time and can utilise your faction steadfast.
your faction steadfast is str/def ---> train str throughout changed to spd/dex -----> train dex and speed half - half ----> the difference needed for opening frontline will be maintained changed to str/dex -------> train str and dex half-half spd/def ---> same as above.
with little adjustment you will be getting good stat bonus. the build would be like 1.4:1.1:1:1(str:spd:def:dex) which is not too far from your balanced build and unlike hank's ratio you will not be leaving one stat too behind.
choosing build depends on your playstyle and how diligent you are at maintaining them.
If you are a bit lazy... baldr's (easy to maintain) if you can spend more time calculating things -- hank's
Bothe brnaches has their own pitfalls like the balanced build. So choose wisely.
and for the dominant stat... I would suggest never go to speed main for obvious reasons.
if you are attacking more people .... strength will give edge as it will be accompanied by speed .. you can easily hit the people at your stat level hard.
if you are busy irl and only active for rws or chains.. where you get time to plan ahead unlike mugging or mercing... you can go for def and dex builds. recently as rw weapons are op with their effects.. people are trying to avoid getting hit so dex is the popular main nowadays.
ultimately it all depends on your prefenrences as others mentioned above. and when/if you want to change your build in future, baldr is the easier one for transition than hanks.
