Gym: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 19:07, 19 September 2026

The Gym is where you permanently improve the four combat stats used when fighting Zeds. Every training action costs 5 Energy.

Strength increases the damage you deal.
Defense reduces the damage you receive.
Speed improves your chance to hit.
Agility improves your chance to dodge.

Training gains

Training gains depend on the chosen stat, its current value, your Gym level, and your current Morale. Gains can vary slightly between otherwise identical actions.

Each Gym level directly multiplies training gains, from ×1 at level 1 to ×10 at level 10. Training permanently increases the chosen stat. You cannot train while injured.

Morale boost

Morale increases training gains. The Morale Boost shown in-game estimates its benefit for the next action. Training uses 4 or 5 Morale per action while available; at zero Morale, training receives no Morale bonus.

Morale jumps

A morale jump uses food and energy boosters to raise Morale and Energy above their normal limits before a large training batch. Excess Morale resets to its normal maximum at the next 15-minute clock boundary, so train before the on-screen countdown expires. The Gym counts up to 9,999 Morale toward training gains.

 == Training gains ==
-Your gain from a training action depends on the stat being trained, its current base value, your Gym level, your current morale, and a small random variation. The four stats use different gain curves, so the same energy and morale will not necessarily produce the same numerical gain for each stat.

-'''Gym level acts as a direct multiplier:''' level 1 gives ×1 gains, level 2 gives ×2, and so on up to ×10 at level 10. Active effects change the final combat value shown in the Gym, while training permanently increases the underlying base value. You cannot train while injured.

 == Morale boost ==
-Morale improves Gym gains, but the effect varies with the stat and its current value. The '''Morale Boost''' shown in the game is an estimate for the next action; actual gains vary. Each action spends a random '''4 or 5 morale''' when available, while training at zero morale receives no morale bonus.

 === Morale jumps ===
-For a '''morale jump''', players eat [[:Category:Food|food items]] to stack morale above its normal maximum and use [[:Category:Energy Drinks|energy boosters]] to overstack energy, then spend both on a large training batch. Excess morale resets to the normal maximum at the next '''15-minute clock boundary''', so train before the on-screen countdown expires. The Gym only counts up to '''9,999 morale''' when calculating gains.
