Mafia Wars Stamina part 2

Mafia wars stamina - part 2 (489 words)

When you first begin playing mafia wars you should put all of your skill points into energy and stamina. I used to put all of my points into energy, but you can do just as well with stamina, but only if you know a neat little trick. We'll talk about that in a bit. I you are interested in mastering all of the job tiers you'll need a lot more energy, but if fighting is all you care about you can use stamina these days because of the new robbing feature.

Robbing works a lot like doing jobs. You use stamina to gain money and experience. The nice thing about robbing is that it doesn't use up health, and when you are successful you get a bonus to the experience gained. Robbing can actually be more efficient than doing jobs when it comes to experience per point (of energy or stamina) used.

May not sound like a big tip, but it's quite useful if you do a bit of planning. I suggest pouring all of your points into energy and stamina until you have 500 or 1,000 points together in the two. After that, pour the points into attack and defense. I am interested in completing the job tiers, so I put a lot more points into energy for jobs, but I also put points into stamina so that I could clear the robbing board four or five times at the beginning of every level.

By throwing all those points into energy and stamina you will level much faster at first, while you recruit a bigger mafia. Level 500 might sound like a LONG way off, but it's really not that bad. If you pump energy and stamina up to about level 200 and then pour it on in the attack and defense departments, you can hit level 500 with a full mafia and simply crush people in fights and wars. Stamina isn't such a bad deal for leveling up, and if completing jobs masteries isn't interesting you can go with a lot more stamina than energy.

I used to be all about energy at the lower levels, but it turns out that stamina is just as effective for leveling. Yes, you'll lose when you rob if you don't beef up your attack and defense, but it all evens out in the end and gaining more levels makes getting skill points later on a lot easier. A big energy pool means that you can fly through mastery levels in Cuba and Moscow to gain easy points later on.

In the end, take it from a pro and don't worry too much about attack and defense at first. Build your mafia size by recruiting on group walls and get a big bunch of energy and stamina first. I guess you could take a balanced approach, but that just doesn't seem too fun - it is a war out there you know.
