Build your combat stats
The gym turns energy into character progression. Strength is your attack power, defense helps protect against opposing strength, and speed influences the first hit in an attack. Check the current gym screen for the training options available to your character.
Plan around energy and awake
Energy is shared with other activities, including attacks. Awake also affects training gains, and your house affects your awake capacity. Review both bars before a training session and consider whether your next housing upgrade would help your progression.
Compare equipment by its bonus
Weapons, armor, shoes and gloves have different roles. The item directory lists strength, defense, speed and agility bonuses where those values are recorded. Compare the relevant stat as well as shop availability and cost; a more expensive item is not automatically the right next purchase for your current goal.
Separate progression from recovery
Training improves your character, equipment provides item bonuses, and consumables provide their own effects. Read each item description before buying or using it. Shop costs shown in the guide are game cash values, not real-money prices or live player-market quotes.
