Protect Your Money

Money is the lifeblood of Mafia Wars. Without it, you would have fewer properties and weaker equipment for your Mafia. More money means more options for you. Always bank your U.S. Dollar account. For those whose levels are high enough to reach Cuba and Moscow, don't bank those foreign currencies! Just make sure that you always go back to New York when you finish playing, so if somebody attacks you, he will only get U.S. Dollars. But since you would always bank your U.S. account, your loss would be zero. That would mean more money and less laundering fees.

Grow your Mafia

Growing your mafia requires some time, effort, and of course, friends! If you think all your contacts are not enough to fill in your magic 501, you may still ask your friends for help in recruitment. Although there are some easier methods of gaining Mafia Wars friends, it's not advisable because it's you're privacy that is at stake here. But in case you still want to try them, be cautious!

Buy Powerful Equipment

The ideal would be to equip each mafia member with the best weapon, armor and vehicle possible. However, as your mafia grows, this feat gets more difficult. Your strongest items are equipped first so make sure you have lots of those for maximum attack and defense.

Use Reward Points

As you increase in level, you would get free reward points. Don't use them on refilling your health or energy. Instead, use them to strengthen your stats and buy stronger limited edition items. Most limited edition items are average, but some exceptional offers are available once in a while.

Boost Attack and Defense

In the beginning, try to prioritize your energy to perform lots of jobs and level up faster. But later in the game, most players adjust their defense skills to about twice their current level, with the attack skills slightly lower.

Maximize your stamina and energy

When you feel that you have more than enough stamina and energy to level up. Use your stamina first, then perform the job that requires the possible highest energy until you level up. This requires a little calculation at first, but you'll get used to it later on.

Boosts

Boosts don't provide much help when attacking, but are very useful in defense. Always make sure you have bought defensive boosts and you if don't have much, try to complete collection sets that offer much stronger defensive boosts. Remember, you'll never know how much defense you need in order to win a fight. When attacking, you choose your own targets. But when defending, attackers will choose their game. So keep your guard as high as possible. Each defensive point counts.

Help your Mafia

You could help your mafia in many ways, such as gifting, helping on jobs, and war assists. Nobody wants a weaker mafia, and helping your mafia members to get stronger is essential. You could also exchange helpful tips about Mafia Wars. And lastly, sharing this guide to your friends will greatly help them on how to win at Mafia Wars and even become a top mafia!
