Torn training ratios

Specialist gyms do not care how big your stats are — they care how lopsided they are. That single rule shapes every serious Torn build.

Why ratios exist

Two-stat specialists need a pair of stats 25% above the other pair. Single-stat specialists need one stat 25% above your second highest. So access is bought with imbalance, and the cost of that imbalance is a stat you deliberately never train.

The common builds

• 1.25 : 1 : 1 : 0 — the classic. Three stats trained, one abandoned, primary held a quarter above the rest. Unlocks an 8.0-dot single-stat gym for the primary.
• Balanced — no specialist access, George's at 7.3 forever. Simpler, and much better for defending against attacks.
• Two-stat — a pair 25% above the other pair, for the 7.5-dot Balboas or Frontline. A softer commitment than a single-stat build.

Is the imbalance worth it?

Going from George's 7.3 to an 8.0-dot specialist is about 9.6% more gain per energy on that one stat — while the abandoned stat contributes nothing to your battle score. Whether that trades well depends on what you want the stats for.
