The Ultimate Guide to Unlocking T3 Troops in The Grand Mafia

The Ultimate Guide to Unlocking T3 Troops in The Grand Mafia

Unlocking Tier 3 (T3) troops in The Grand Mafia is a major milestone that significantly boosts your strength and dominance. But reaching that point takes planning, resource management, and smart strategy. This guide walks you through everything you need to do, step-by-step, to unlock T3 troops as efficiently as possible.

Step 1: Join an Active Faction

Before anything else, you should join a highly active faction. Faction members can assist you during building upgrades and investments. Each help you receive reduces the time by 1%, and you can receive multiple helps per project. Over time, this adds up to massive time savings, especially for long upgrades like your Mansion or Investment Center.

Tip: Join a faction with daily active members who consistently send help—this alone can shave hours or even days off your progression.

Step 2: Increase Your VIP Level

Your VIP level directly affects how much free speed-up time you receive on all timers. As your VIP level increases, so does your ability to complete construction and investments instantly—without using speed-up items.

Make sure to:

• Log in daily to collect VIP points.

• Use VIP items strategically to level up faster.

• Keep an eye on your current VIP bonuses to plan better.

The higher your VIP level, the more time you'll save across the board.

Step 3: Set Up Underboss Specialties Correctly

Your Underboss Specialties are one of the most important tools for speeding up progress. Focus your Specialty Points on the following—and only these, until they are maxed out:

• Construction Speed I

• Construction Speed II

• Investment Speed I

• Investment Speed II

  
  

These four Specialties dramatically reduce your upgrade and research time. Don’t waste points on combat or resource specialties early on—prioritize your economic growth first.

Step 4: Unlock and Use the Right Enforcers

Not all Enforcers are equal when it comes to progression. To boost your construction and investment speed, unlock Enforcers that give relevant bonuses.

Two highly effective options are:

• Nioh

• Killer Queen

  
  

These have passive bonuses when starting builds or research. Even a small boost can significantly reduce time, especially when stacked with gear and Specialties.

Step 5: Craft and Upgrade Progression Gear

Gear isn’t just for battle. You’ll also need two key sets:

• Construction Gear

• Investment Gear

Equip your construction or investment gear before starting any building or research. Upgrade your gear as materials become available, and prioritize pieces that give the highest speed boosts.

This is an often-overlooked but vital part of your strategy.

Step 6: Focus Investments on the Right Trees

To unlock T3 troops, you’ll need to invest heavily in your Investment Center—but not all trees are created equal. The two most important investment paths are:

• Economy Tree – Speeds up construction, investment, and resource production.

• Crew Tree – Unlocks crew improvements, stats, and essential pre-requisites for T3 troops.

  
  

Avoid spreading your investments across multiple trees too early. Focus on Economy and Crew first, then branch out once you’ve unlocked the necessary upgrades.

Conclusion: Your Path to T3 Power

Reaching T3 troops is all about efficiency. By joining an active faction, increasing your VIP level, properly assigning Specialties, using the right Enforcers and gear, and focusing on the right investment paths, you'll dramatically shorten the time it takes to reach that next tier.

Stick to this guide, and you’ll unlock T3 troops faster than most players—and be well on your way to dominating The Grand Mafia.
