Mafia Wars Strategy Guide: Top Mafia

This is a part of my Mafia Wars strategy guide, which I have broken up into several mini guides for easier browsing. Be sure to check out my other guides for Mafia Wars. I play this game on Facebook but most of the strategies work the same on other platforms, such as MySpace.

TOP MAFIA

Another new feature for Mafia Wars in 2009 is the top mafia feature. Basically, the top mafia are the players, who are members of your mafia, that you choose to be almost like your top officers. Top mafia members are split up into six different positions, each one requiring specific strengths. They should be the best players in your mafia with the proper traits coinciding with each position because the stronger the top mafia member is, the higher the bonus you will receive while playing the game. Choose your top mafia wisely. A list of each top mafia position, their traits, and the bonuses that go along with each is listed below:

Mastermind - Choose a member with many jobs completed to promote to Mastermind to get more experience points from doing jobs. Your Mastermind gains a small chance of gaining 50% more experience when performing jobs.

Wheelman - Choose a member with the Fearless character type and a high level to promote to Wheelman to get a reduced energy cost for jobs. Your Wheelman gains a small chance to perform jobs for no energy.

Button Man - Choose a member with the Maniac character type and a high level to promote to Button Man to get an Attack bonus. Your Button Man gains a small chance to always win fights they initiate.

Bodyguard - Choose a member with many fights won to promote to Bodyguard to get a Defense bonus. Your Bodyguard gains a small chance to always win fights when they are attacked.

Safecracker - Choose a member with many successful heists to promote to Safecracker to get more money from fighting and robbing. Your Safecracker gains a small chance to gain double the money when fighting or robbing.

Bagman - Choose a member with the Mogul character type and a high level to promote to Bagman to get more money from jobs. Your Bagman gains a small chance to gain double the money when performing jobs.
