How to Gauge Enemy Stats Without Spying

You can't see someone's exact stats without a spy. But their public profile stats page tells you a lot. Look at these in order:

1. Attacks Made (most important)

Energy spent on attacking = energy NOT spent in gym. High attack count = lower stats for their age. Low attack count = they gym instead of fight.

2. Xanax Used

Each Xanax = ~250 energy, likely in gym. 1,000 Xanax = 250,000 energy worth of training. This is the single best predictor of stat investment.

3. Energy Refills

Each refill = 150 energy gained. Indicator of activity and how seriously they train. Count them alongside Xanax.

4. Stat Enhancers Used

Each use = +1% to a stat (compounded). Example: 4,797 uses is a massive multiplier. Someone with thousands of enhancer uses has exponentially higher stats than the raw number suggests.

5. Days as Donator

Donators get +33% energy regeneration and +33% max energy. Huge long-term training advantage.

Secondary Indicators

  • Defends won / stalemates: High defends won = decent defensive stats
  • LSD used: +75% gym gains but lower hit rate than Xanax. Still significant
  • Time played (hours): More hours = more training sessions
  • Awards count: High awards = serious player, probably high stats
  • People revived: Energy wasted on reviving = less in gym
  • Crimes count: Active criminals also tend to gym actively when logging in for crimes
  • Title: "Healer" title = reviver build, probably lower combat stats
  • Property: Owning a PI = higher happy, better training multiplier
  • Faction: Long-term member of a known war faction = likely has decent stats

The Quick Read (30 seconds)

  1. Check Xanax: under 500 = probably light stats, 2000+ = serious trainer
  2. Check energy refills: daily refiller for years = strong
  3. Check attacks made: 10,000+ attacks = energy wasted on fighting not gym
  4. Look at awards count vs yours
  5. If still unsure: hire a spy

Stat Enhancers Math

Each enhancer use stacks multiplicatively. 4,797 uses gives an absolutely insane multiplier (roughly 1.01^4797 ≈ 260x the base stat). Never underestimate someone with a huge enhancer count.

Key Insight

"Someone at level 1 can be stronger than someone at level 100." Level means almost nothing for stats. Time + drugs + energy refills = stats.
