Dex or def?

I’m currently around 50m on def and dex, but I’m thinking about just going heavy on one and letting the other sit. Any suggestions?

speed is definitely the answer.

health

don't listen to either of the nerds above, karma is the only stat you need to grind

by the time you get into a position the stat is whored the one you chose will be horrifically nerfed by then so, good luck

Depends on your playstyle. If you care about attacking more and avoiding heat when possible, go dex for stealth.

If you don't care about heat or stealth, and want to use 2 special gyms, then def it is. Crit will be your weakness, though. Search for Hank's ratio or similar builds.

You do have a nice chunk of both defence and dexterity. But i am advising you it is too early to leave one behind.

Think about this again when you have 1 billion of both. yes i really do think its end game stuff to totally stop training a stat. You need to train all 4 at your stage in the game.

def has always been superior in my eyes but with the rise of rw weapons dex does seem to gain more of a favor due to the decreased proc from your opponent (their bonus cant activate as much)

Due to weapons buffed with rank war bonuses, Strength and Speed are the stats to train, with dex being the 3rd highest stats.

Ignore all the plebs.

Strength ONLY is all you need

Dex is sex because it f**ks you.

you need 64x someone’s speed if you want a 0% hit chance, you need like 14x someone’s strength if you want 0 damage.


It’s a no Brainer, why risk getting 1 tapped when you can get shot in the nuts with an RPG and laugh.

if you have both close to each other i would honestly keep going with both and go just Baldrs instead of hanks.
Baldrs Def is better IMO

There are (great) guides focusing on this very question.

Check this one for example, written by Euphoria

Its important to have vision when playing this game. ie to be able to see what other players are doing in the game.

How many players who play the game everyday have hundreds of millions of strength and speed who play the game? some of them have billions of strength and speed ...

The 2 stats which get through your dexterity and defence.

There are a LOT of big statted active players.

Stopping training defence or dexterity at 50 million is way too early ... you will always fight like a crippled field mouse ...

Stopping training any stat really is end game stuff or you will always fight with crippling weakness.

Lol what you can have hanks dex or hanks def

You can boost dex more than def and debuff spd with a temp whereas not for str

You can also debuff strength with RW and debuff dex with a temp though, there’s a counter for nearly everything, the difference here, and it’s a big one, is that you need to train dex 50x more than you would def.

dont be afraid my friend to ask in faction for advice

also i would suggest deff, as it has a better defenstive ratio then dex has, when you compare strength / def - speed / dex

get that special gym unlocked.

neither until you get the 1b merits in each stat. whoring a stat is really only a thing after that imo.

Yet the post powerful players in the game are dex users. Go dex or go str - def is for potatoes
