Tips for increasing the attack and defense stats

Hi all, just something that I learn and I would like to share with all of you. A little tip on how to increase your Def & Off. Whenever you can use your earn income from your hood it's good to increase them. So, buy explosive! Try to keep approximate 400-cocktail , 200- time bomb,stun & grenade. This is something that I find out from a friend, and I think it's a good tip. If anyone have any other ideas, please share! Thanks for reading!

Since corilu has started the topic I will continue adding hints:
1)We all need to keep & maintain explosives amount on hand because they increase your stats #, protect your hood from weak low stats enemies from robbing you & by repelling their attacks & you end up robbing them.
2) Always deposit/or save your money before leaving your hoods or proceed into robbing others or doing mission because if you get attack/or rob by an enemy while you are doing mission etc... They will receive a percentage of the $ on hand & if you don't have explosive they will also steal one of your weapons.
3) Never attack an enemy ALWAY go to rob them first. Check out their hood see if they have building that are worth the trouble.then check out their stats & make sure it's not greater than yours, cause if it is I guaranteed you they will retaliate. keep in mind "we are {TPK}peacekeepers therefore let's try not to start a fight with other clan. I avoid robbing any one with a sign logo before or after their name. If you do visit their hoods & it's tempting you can drop them a reminder to collect if you want, but you don't have to.
3)depending on how many you can afford but I personally suggest keeping and maintaining a MINIMUM explosive amount:
Anthrax:30,Napalm:10, H Grenade:200,M Cocktail:400-they will increase your attack stats.
Stun & Smoke Grenade:300, Land Mines:10, Time Bomb:300
Also buy weapons & Def items with High stats & stack them because at every fight the computer chooses only 500 of your members & the same for your offense & defense therefore if you only have weak weapon you will lose the fight. Focus on doing side map missions instead of goals. That will provide you with weapon drops,coins to use to buy more powerfull items. If you have spare money to buy crates buy only the 3 pair crates. Last but not least if you can afford it buy the limited edition weapons.

Take your time going thru levels. Build up your stats, it's not a race.

Also, I rob mostly and almost exclusively for Respect Points first then money. If a building, such as the loft has both so be it. But I will rob 50 laundromats before I rob one meat factory or warehouse. RP weapons are the bomb and in a lot of cases better than what you can buy with cash.

Build up your own economy, you will make way more money that way as well. I have also found that most players won't retaliate much if all you are robbing from them is laundromats and shoe stores.

Don't get bodyguard agencies, they suck. I learned the hard way.

Do all the events as best you can. For example, I spent 50-60 gold this time to get med kits, and got 3 rare items out of it. Cheapest way to get em. But you have to play those bosses to perfection to get far with them. I use my iphones timer to know when to go back and attack. A neat trick...use 3 attacks, wait about 5 mins, and then you have two more before you go down as 1 or 2 points have built up.


Cheers

Oh and Collection agencies and magic playhouses are good for RP as well vs ammount of XP received
