The game currently has the following combat attribute buffs:

Single Associate Type ATK/HP, Crew ATK/HP/DEF.

When choosing your Equipment, choose ATK and HP as priorities as they are very important attributes! 

The following are combat Equipment sets and their required Underboss Level:

Level 40 - New Blood's Set

Level 50 - Victor's Set

Level 60 - King's Set, Godfather's Set

Apart from the Lv. 40 New Blood's Set, the other sets provide attribute buffs for at least two Associate Types

Therefore, we recommend you start crafting Victor's Set from the beginning.

The Victor's Set can provide high combat attribute buffs before Lv. 60 Underboss, so you should keep it in mind! Crafting a Victor's Set can help you fight in Battle for the City Hall and defeat the enemies!

[Grand] Victor's Set attribute buffs:

Two Associate Type ATK +110%

Two Associate Type HP +65%

Two Associate Type DEF +15%

A [Grand] Jewel can provide 15% ATK/DEF attribute buff for an Associate Type. 

Each Equipment piece can have three Jewels engraved! 24 Jewels on 8 pieces in total! These attribute buffs are very helpful and can’t be ignored!

Four lower-grade Jewels can be fused into a higher-grade Jewel.

Each Equipment piece can only have one Jewel of each type engraved.

You can choose which Victor's Set to craft according to your first invested or unlocked T4 Associate Type and your highest-grade Enforcer.

For example, if you have already got [Grand] Killer Queen and unlocked T4 Bruiser – Gorillas, you can choose to craft the Victor's Set with Bruiser attribute buffs.

There is another important part of the Equipment which is Jewels!

[Grand] King's Set attribute buffs:

Movement Speed +15%

Crew DEF +15%

Crew ATK +15%

Crew HP +110%

Two Associate Type ATK +155%

Compared to the Victor's Set, the King's Set not only has 45% extra ATK for specific Associate Types, but also Crew attributes buffs! 

The most astonishing buff is the 110% Crew HP increase!

Other than stronger combat attribute buffs, the [Grand] Godfather's Set also provides certain development attribute buffs:

Movement Speed +50%

Investment Speed +15%

Diamond Production +75%

Crew DEF +72%

Crew ATK +75%

Crew HP +152%

Training Speed 20%

Pay Cut +52%

Two Associate Type ATK +155%

Different Equipment Sets have different attribute buffs, therefore we recommend you equally develop all Associate Types and choose the strong Equipment pieces from the three Godfather's Sets.

Balanced Buff Set for All Associate Types:

You can choose the following pieces to craft your Godfather's Set

Range: Godfather's Grenade Gun

Melee: Godfather's Silenced Pistol

Tops: Godfather's Windbreaker

Pants: Godfather's Leather Pants

Shoes: Godfather's Boots

Accessory: Godfather's Leather Belt

Godfather's Leather Belt

Godfather's Watch

The [Grand] Godfather's Set provides a balanced attribute combination of Bruiser ATK +100%, Biker ATK +100%, and Hitman ATK +100%. You can continue to craft the other complete Godfather's Sets from this!

You can find the Equipment Sets Investment in the Investment Center – Advanced Crew. After completing this Investment, you can switch the Equipment Sets quickly or defeat the approaching enemies by surprise.

Tip:[Grand] Godfather's Range Equipment piece has better Investment Speed buff than [Grand] Investor's Handgun (Range)!

Although these two sets of development Equipment can help you in the early phase to quickly enhance your Influence, do not forget to change to your combat Equipment before battles!

In The Grand Mafia, challenging Kingpins is a daily essential. Many players who have just joined may still have many questions about it. Therefore, the Secretary has prepared answers for the most frequently asked questions!

1. Why do I need to challenge Kingpins? (editado)

Firstly, you can obtain lots of Underboss EXP and Enforcer EXP. 

Secondly, you can obtain Kingpin Crates (automatically opens when obtained) which could include Equipment Materials (crafts and upgrades your Equipment), Signature Weapon Materials, Gear Crates (includes Enforcer Gear or Enforcer Tokens), and Gold, amongst other rewards.

Lastly, when you kill a Kingpin, your Faction members will receive a Kingpin Challenge Gift from you!

2. What do I need to pay attention to when challenging Kingpins?

The more you challenge the same Kingpin, the more damage you’ll deal and the better the rewardWillll be! Many players in early game tend to give up on the challenges due to their Enforcers’ low level and low damage dealt. However, you should rather attack the same Kingpin repeatedly until you defeat them instead of challenging different ones halfway.

You can unlock the higher-level Kingpins though the Kingpins investment in the Investment Center. The higher levels you challenge, the better the rewards you can get!

You can also tap on the rankings icon on the Kingpin interface to view the current Enforcer lineups with the highest damage dealt to help build your own lineup!

3. What is a Challenger’s Set?

The Challenger’s Set is an Equipment set with Kingpin challenge buffs. When you equip a full set of [Grand] Challenger’s Set, you can obtain the following buffs:

Kingpin Challenge Movement Speed 100%

Double Crate Rate 100%

Kingpin Challenge DMG 95%

Challenge Initial Focus 100

Energy Usage Reduction 10%

Restorable Energy Limit 9,500

4. Who is Lupo Solitario and how do I obtain him?

Lupo Solitario is an Enforcer with Kingpin challenge buffs!

[Grand] Lupo Solitario buffs:

Double Crate Rate+20%

Restorable Energy Limit+3000

Kingpin Challenge DMG+20%

You can obtain “Lupo’s Wanted Orders” by challenging Kingpins during the Lupo’s Operation event, and use it to place Intel Houses. After defeating the Intel Houses, various rich rewards can be obtained including the chance to obtain Lupo Solitario Tokens!

Tip: Lupo Solitario’s buffs are effective even when he is not in the Crew when challenging Kingpins.

Getting attacked by enemies during war is inevitable, so what are the best ways to deal with it?

First, you can decide whether to pick a fight or avoid it depending on your Influence difference. If you think you can win the fight, you can proceed to take up the challenge. If you have a vast difference in Influence or don’t want to take the risk, you can take measures to avoid the fight. Below, the Secretary will give you tips on what to do in different situations.

① Choosing to Welcome a Fight

- First, you need to be prepared, just like what you would do before attacking others. See attached link for reference. ⁠Prepare to fight!

In addition, you will need to know the following:

A. Defensive Enforcers and Associates

1. You can select Enforcers to defend the Wall and increase attribute buffs for defensive Associates.

2. When defending the Mansion, all Associates in the Turf will join the defensive battles.

B. The Wall

1. The Wall is the first line of defense, it will defend against enemy attacks and trigger the Traps. The Wall also has its Durability, and the higher the Durability, the better the defense it will provide. You can increase the Wall Durability by upgrading the Wall and investing in Defenses and Advanced Defenses.

2. Tap the Wall to view the current defense statistics: Including Defensive Enforcers, Traps, and Associates (all Associates in the Turf will join the defensive battles).

3. Before the Wall is breached, only Hitmen, Mortar Cars, and Traps can deal damage to enemies. Traps are only effective when the Wall has not been breached. Once the Wall is breached, the battle mechanism will be almost alike to common battles.

C. Traps

1. Different Traps can counter different Associates

I. Spikes are strong against Bikers

II. Grenades are strong against Bruisers

III. Bombs are strong against Hitmen

Mortar Cars can deal massive damage against the Wall and Traps.

2. To assemble higher-tier Traps, you need to complete the corresponding Investments in Defenses.

② Choosing to Avoid the Battle

A. Activate a Protection Program

First, you can simply activate a Protection Program to protect your Turf, but note that if you are engaged in any offensive activities against other players such as attacking Turfs, attacking Resource Tiles, or joining Raids against other players, your Protection Program will instantly deactivate.

The Protection Program’s duration of effect cannot be stacked. A new Protection Program will replace the current effective one.

Be aware of not entering Battle Enraged State as you will not be able to activate a Protection Program under that state.

B. Safehouse

-If you do not have or do not want to use Protection Programs, alternatively you can use the Safehouse.

1. Tap the Safehouse to view the max capacity. Tap the “i” button to view the methods to increase the Safehouse capacity.

2. When your Turf is under attack, your Underboss and Associates in the Safehouse will not join the battle or get attacked (Underboss will not be captured). However, the Wall, Traps, and uncovered Associates will still get attacked. Resources above the protection limit will also be robbed. You can also send the uncovered Associates to garrison, rob, or reinforce stronger Faction members to avoid the attacks.

3. When your Underboss is protected in the Safehouse, your Underboss will not join the battle and their Specialties and Equipment buffs will also not take effect.

C. Disinformation or Anti-Recon Items

- Use the Disinformation or Anti-Recon items to give enemies false information on your number of Associates. If you have already been reconned before you use the items, this method however will not be effective.

- In addition, Disinformation items can only increase the number by a certain multiplier, therefore it requires you to have many Associates first.
