For those that are playing “The Grand Mafia”, one of the important things in the game is to work to get your enforcers to Grand (golden) level.
To do this in the beginning, you play the Campaign to unlock the character and then you would use your Stamina to increase their level.
In the beginning, they start out gray and for each color, there is gray, green, blue (Rare), purple (Elite) and then golden (Grand). Each color with five levels, green you just need to max out to 10 stamina points to get to the next level, blue is 20 stamina points, purple is 30 stamina points and once you are completed, then you maxed out and make them golden.
Sounds easy and it is but it depends on your patience. If you don’t want to spend, you can click on “Enforcers” and do a Sweep and slowly level up. For each stamina that you have, you can get 2-3 stamina points. So, it’s a slow grind.
For those who are willing to pay, each day you can get stamina packs for around $4.99 US (which gives you six cans of stamina) and $19.99 US which gives you I believe around 25. What I do know is that purchasing both will give you somewhere between 80-90 stamina points.
You can also get a few stamina from purchasing an energy pack ($19.99) or enforcer pack ($19.99). But the stamina packs are the focus if you have the money to spend. Otherwise, just grind it out and keep sweeping throughout the day.
But when starting out, you are limited on how much stamina you can use depending on your VIP level.
If you are at VIP level 12, you are limited to 12 stamina per day, if you are VIP level 13, you are limited to 13 stamina drinks per day. The goal is to aim for VIP Level 14 as quickly as you can. This can get you unlimited stamina per day.
Just keep meeting your task goals and you can also get around 60,000 VIP points via a $99.99 pack. It’s a slow grind to get level 14 (and onward) but its well worth it to get to VIP Level 14 if you are willing to spend the money for it.
Of course, this only works on the FREE enforcers that you can get from the campaign. The PAID enforcers or enforcers from EVENTS, you are going to have to pay or take part in events to make them Grand (golden). For paid enforcers, just know that you will be spending close to a thousand dollars (US) (starting from gray to golden). Because you get four packs – $4.99, $19.99, $49.99 and $99.99. You only get so many points at $99.99 level and knowing that in elite (purple) takes 30 points per level, that alone will take 5-6 of the $99.99 packs.
Now, of course you will want to focus on the FREE enforcers first to develop your war team and your wall team. For the war team, you will want to choose your top 5 enforcers that you want to fight for your Bruisers (other people from different countries will call them “thugs” or “knives”), your Shooters (other people in different countries will call them “hitmen”, “mercenaries”, “arrows”) and Cyclists/Bikes.
Remember that Bruisers are effective against Shooters. Shooters are effective against Cyclists. Cyclists are effective against Bruisers.
So, you will want to scout your enemy and if they have more Bruisers, then you will want to have more cyclists. If they have more Shooters, you will want to have more Bruisers. But it is important to build your war team for each of the three (in addition to having two sets of war clothes/gear).
As for Wall Team, you will want to have those that give crew attack, wall protection and trap attack. You will see on YouTube videos that defense is not that great. It’s true to a point. In raids, your wall will get destroyed easily. But if someone is crazy enough to attack you one on one and you have a solid wall crew and a fortified wall with traps, chances are you will capture their underboss (if they use it).
Now what about the paid enforcers? Should you buy them cheap?
Yes. The reason why is that while you may not pump a lot of money for them, they are will be important for one major thing… Farming for resources.
As you get more enforcers, you will NOT want to use your underboss, in fact, you will want to keep one march for raids and attacks and keep your underboss and a few of your war team on hand. Send your weak enforcers on farming missions first and in order to build your team, you will want to use FREE and PAID enforcers.
As you start to advance in the game, especially if you are spending money, you can go from 5 marches up to 6-8 marches. With each march needing five enforcers, you can use the paid enforcers (which you can get for $4.99) for your farm team. They also can help with production.
As mentioned, I do not send my Underboss and corresponding war team out on farming. I keep one march open just in case for raids. So, that will leave the rest of my FREE and PAID enforcers to do a lot of the resource farming.
PAID enforcers are important, not just for farming of course. They are excellent for the WAR and WALL team!
There are PAID enforcers, who are excellent at war. Maestro (Bruisers), Brutus (Shooters), Mamacita (Cyclist) would be excellent underbosses for your war team as their skills primarily focus on war attacks.
When advancing and trying to defeat casinos, each casino will require you to switch up your underboss and war tactics. May it be all bruisers, all shooters, all cyclists, you will need to build your War Team for Bruisers, Shooters and Cyclists and that includes not just associates but enforcers!
While there are PAID enforcers who focus on Crew Attacks/defense/HP, such as Red Thorn (Cyclists), Tengu (Shooters) and El Santo (Bruisers) that would be excellent for war or stationing at the wall. Only one FREE enforcer provides crew attack and that’s Bubba. So, in a way, in this sense, you will want to go after a PAID enforcer. It may be a slow grind but buying a $4.99 and $19.99 pass each time (and even the $49.99 and higher) they are offered, you can get them to Grand (Golden) in a matter of months.
What about the Event Enforcers?
I’m sorry to say that Hellcat, White Dove and Lupo Solitario are a grindfest. If you do get them, they will be use for farming or for battles but don’t expect to get them to Grand that quickly. The easiest of the three will probably be Lupo because your faction will do many Lupo raids during his event that you can earn one Lupo stamina point. If you are the one who starts the raid, you may win 3 or more. Just participate in those Lupo raids and you’ll eventually get him to Grand (golden).
Overall…
If you want to get all your Enforcers to Grand (Golden), I highly recommend getting to VIP 14 and if you have the money, getting the stamina packs. Also, do get the paid enforcers at $4.99, because they can be part of your farm team. The more marches you get, you will want to fill them up with enforcers that are not your underboss or war team.
Of course, it all depends on you. May you be free to play or pay to play.
In the beginning, it may not matter so much as you are starting out in a weaker faction, but once you join a stronger faction and especially if you will partake in the Governor’s War, you will find your faction asking you to complete tasks, faction call ups, participating in raids, farming for resources for those who have T4’s and more.
You don’t have to get everything quickly, but it’s good to build your war team and your wall team of Enforcers!
