With the release of irradiated blood bags it was possible to reduce your stats by a measly 2%. Now with them being stackable you can effectively reduce your battlestats by an unlimited amount(No cap on the radiation poisoning itself, but a max cap on the battlestat reduction of 100%, meaning your stats effectively equal 0)

But how is this useful and why would you want to do it? The reasons are plentiful:

• You have a super weak mission target that you have to beat in more than # of turns
• You want to wall slut(this is extinct now) and have too many battlestats.
• You want to sell the "defend against a higher battlestats" merit
• To help a newbie power level
• For fame and glory

I am sure that there are more "unique" reasons but that in itself is a good starter list. Before we begin I need to make this point clear. YOUR ACTUAL BATTLESTATS WILL NOT DECREASE! This means that the numbers you see in the gym will never go down. With that out of the way I shall begin.

Effective battlestats are pretty simple to understand. They take your total battlestats(the ones seen in the gym) and multiply(or divide) them by the percentage. Each of the four battlestats has its own percentage multiplier. Drug addiction, rad poisoning, current drug effects, they all affect your effective battlestats in a negative way, This guide will not be using drug addiction as a way to reduce your effective battlestats because it has the side effect of kicking you out of education.

Keep in mind that your bonuses(the ones you get from faction, merits, job, ect) will still be active. Therefore it's likely that you might have to go over 100% battlestat reduction if you want 0 effective battlestats.

The main way you can effectively reduce battlestats is by taking a Irradiated blood bag. All you need is one blood bag to produce a unlimited amount of irradiated blood because whenever you have any amount of rad poisoning you can produce a irradiated blood bag as you would a normal bag of blood. One blood bag will increase rad poisoning by 2%. The cap for this is 100%, meaning that 50 items of Irradiated blood will get you to zero battlestats.

Next you can use a common drug(xanax) to decrease each stat by a good amount, for some this might work on its own. It DOES stack with rad poisoning so you can do both to decrease your stats by a good amount. This method is recommended to decrease your battlestats over irad blood because it is far more temporary and free to get rid of. Also the lowest percentage you can get is -100%. Unless you want the novelty of bringing the radiation poisoning itself to bringing your battlestats down 100%, you can safely stop at 75% and then take a xanax. Bonus points for an OD.

Now to bring down your weakness. Waiting is the cheapest form of doing it but you can use nemune tablets if you want to get rid of the poisoning quicker(and get a merit!)

I hope you enjoyed this guide. As I study the subject it will get more detailed and accurate(although I have been struck with rad poisioning in a dirty bomb strike and am 90% sure about the information in this guide) Thanks for reading and Go Glow Green!
