Guide To Picking Targets

• Most Important Stats
  
  • Drugs: Note how many drugs they have taken for training. Drugs used for training is Xanax, Ecstasy, and sometimes LSD if they are drug free.
  • Level and Rank: Obviously don't attack a level 80 if you're level 30 unless you're a holder and have the stats. Rank can indicate stats which is explained further down.
  • Refills/Activity/Crimes: All indicate how active a player has been and how much more e than you they've been able to use.
  • Age: This can fool you. Players are getting strong fast these days so don't get too cocky if you're an old player but also be careful attacking older players with less drugs taken than you.
  • Attacks: Good to compare energy allocation
• Other things to consider but usually not needed
  
  • Title
  • Faction
  • Awards
  • Property Happiness
  • Net worth
  • Stat enhancers used

• Look at ranks and their triggers.
  • You can view rank and triggers here: (https://www.torn.com/wiki/Ranks)
  • Compare yourself to players close to your age and level.
• Start picking targets.
  • The 3 visual things you can see is level, crimes, and net worth. from these 3 things, you can estimate their range of stats by adding up the triggers in your head--yes it does take a while to master but with practice you can decide in a couple of seconds.
  • For example, if someone has the same amount of crimes as you and the same net worth and level range but their rank is lower, then you should know quickly that their stats are much lower.
  • This method gets almost impossible when someone's net worth is negative so I would suggest sticking to the basics.
  • Since battle stats triggers stop at 250mil, under this is where this method is the most effective. For higher level/stat players you will have to carefully choose using their personal stats.

• There's some people that like to trick you or like to feel stronger for their level so they hold. After understanding how to determine if someone is stronger than you, it gets easy. Most obvious signs:
  • Rank: If you know the ranks list then you know that a level 18 being ranked outstanding is suspicious. Here is a rough estimation of what someone is normally ranked for their level:

    • Level Range	Rank Range
      1-11	Absolute Beginner to Reasonable
      11-15	Novice to Veteran
      15-26	Reasonable to Veteran
      26-31	Competent to Professional
      31-50	Veteran to Celebrity
      50-65	Star to Champion
      65-75	Celebrity to Heroic
      75-100	Idolised to Invincible (level 100 with all triggers)

      
      
    • The above chart is based on observation and is under the assumption that the player trains, levels, gains net worth over time, and does crimes as much as possible. There will always be exceptions.
  • Drugs Taken: Keep in mind some holders are drug free.
  • Award count: If someone is near your level with a big difference in awards then this can be a sign.
  • Age: An old low level player can indicate that they are holding.
• Can you beat a level holder?
  • One advantage you may have over a level holder is life. So even if your stats are much lower, you may have a chance if you can do enough damage to them.
  • Consider the method I explained above to determine their stat range using their rank
  • In fast pace wars, I would suggest avoiding those that you think are holding unless you have a good amount of stats.

• Use your advanced search if you are a donator
• Check the bounty list for people you can beat
• Look at the hall of fame list
• Look at your blacklist (revenge!)
• Find factions with lots of players in your stat range (be aware of retaliations by higher level members)
• Incorporate mission targets into chaining (good way to get fair fights!)
