Fighting Basics

Greetings!

I am in the mood! I'll tell you later about what make me feel so happy now.. still about this game matters of course..

Now, let's study about the fighting basics.

For you high level players, I guess you don't need this anymore.. but I believe they are lots of newbies who still need guidance on this topic.

I took this from Zynga forum.. so credit goes to the forum (especially to Lil Ms Mandy)!

You need to have at least 501 mafia family members, the bigger the better! You can fight with up to 501 mafia members, and each can use one weapon, one armor, and one vehicle. The game will use the weapon, armor, and vehicle with the highest attack value when attacking and the highest defense value when you are attacked. It will use Loot items over Inventory items, meaning it will use the .50 Caliber Rifle over the Chain Gun.

Go to this page to see The Loot Items with the Highest Att/Def.

Attack and Defense Skill Points

It is a common misconception that with a large mafia and good weapons there is no need to put a lot into attack and defense skill points. THIS IS FALSE. They are the biggest factor in determining the winner of fights. A good rule of thumb is to keep them at least double your level.

Note:

Attack and Defense Skill Points are added together when fighting, so it doesn't matter which you put them in. Speaking for myself, I like to keep them about even because you never know if they may change the fight formula to where it uses either attack or defense instead of adding them.

Health and Fighting

You can only attack someone when they are over 20 health. (except on the hitlist) Once under 20 health they are considers iced or to weak to fight. If they log out at that point, the system will not register them as healed enough to fight until they log back in the game. People use this method to hide from retaliation after using their stamina.

Fight List

From Levels 1-179 the fight list will show you opponents close to your level. Once you hit level 180 the fight list will show levels from 180 to the highest level in the game. To find people in your fight range when this happens look at the names on the hitlist or people from capo fights in your news feed. Don't be surprised at being attacked by people hundreds of levels above you. You see them on your fight list, they see you on theirs.

Well, sometimes there are bugs appear.. I often see on my mafia's wall that they still lower levels (example : level 100) but the fight list full of very higher levels (example : level 800) or more. This never happen to me.. but let's hope our Zynga team members could find a way to fix this.

Have a good fighting, everybody!
