Where To Get ‘Em And Why - Mafia Wars Bodyguards

You’ve got to love acquiring the criminal lifestyle when you play .  What self-respecting mobster lacks those Mafia Wars bodyguards?  Absolutely, they are strong defense, but you can locate better than DEF 25.  So why are there so many people seeking them?

Regardless of mobster prestige, bodyguards have the practical effect of keeping you from getting pistol whipped on the fightlist constantly.  And because there is so much “whipping boy” advice in guides, it’s no shock that newbies who are naturally in weaker position are looking for bodyguards.

Are you seeking bodyguards?  They are located in the loot drops of Hitman Tier - Protect Your City from a Rival Family job.  It’s actually beyond cool how early you can get yourself set up with bodyguards – as early as level 18.  (If you’re over level 35, the Guerilla Squad (DEF 30!) is even better defense – find them in loot drops in the El Padrino tier in Cuba - Storm the Presidential Palace job.)

The job that gets you bodyguards is really very experience/energy efficient, as well.  You’ll spend 31 energy and get 58 experience.  Experience to energy ratio of 1.87 makes that job is a good one for Mafia Wars leveling, [as well].  Newbies are wise to invest in that job because the loot is great defensive equipment and the experience output is very good.  If your attacker is generally equal to you, bodyguards will enable you to win the fight.  I advise you to get bodyguards for as many members of your crew as you can.

Maybe you have a more difficult problem than a few bodyguards can solve.  If your attacker has you outmanned, outgunned, and outclassed, bodyguards won’t end your losses – although they will increase your percentage of wins!  What’s a whipping boy to do?

You have to review your fighting strategy for .  Are your personal stats unbalanced?  Do you have a small mafia family?  Did you equip everyone in your crew?

If those questions make you cringe, you’re going to have to rethink the way you manage your crew to turn around fight outcomes.  I understand that the wish to level up with speed has gamers dumping all their points into energy, but if you’re being singled out as a weak mark your strategy may have to alter; try putting some points into defense.  Having a intimate crew is fun, but it’s not helping win you any fights.  Recruiting a decent sized mafia family isn’t just for laughs, it’s a first line of defense.  Once you have crew, be sure that you have a weapon, armor, and vehicle for every one.  If you just want to ward off your tormentor, you can focus on finding the best defense equipment – like bodyguards!

Good luck and go get those Mafia Wars bodyguards!
