Gym Upgrades

Introduction

Cash does more than buy fighters — it builds the gym that makes every fighter better. Gym upgrades raise the overall gym level, strengthen training machines, unlock new facilities and add perks that speed up the training loop. Because training output drives match wins and match wins drive Cash, the upgrade order you choose creates a compounding economy: right upgrades first and every session becomes more efficient; wrong upgrades first and your Cash evaporates with little to show. This page breaks down the upgrade categories, gives you the priority order that early-game players should follow and explains why investing in training output beats cosmetic upgrades when your roster is still growing.

Upgrade Breakdown

Core Mechanics

Gym upgrades improve the training economy in four ways. Raising the overall gym level unlocks new facilities and raises the cap on machine power. Upgrading training machines makes every session raise stats faster, which compounds across your whole roster. Facilities unlock new training options and match advantages, broadening what you can do with each fighter. Gym perks add passive boosts that multiply the value of everything else. The meta strategy is to prioritize training output: machines and level first, because faster training means more match wins and more Cash, which fuels every other upgrade. Facilities and perks matter more once your roster is full and your training loop is running smoothly.

Advantages

The gym is the most reliable investment in the game because its returns never expire — every upgrade stays valuable for the rest of the run. A better gym makes all future fighters train faster, so the benefit scales with your growing roster rather than fading over time. Prioritizing training output creates a virtuous cycle: more training efficiency means more match wins, more match wins mean more Cash, and more Cash means faster gym level-ups. For players who plan their upgrade order early, this compound effect is the difference between a mid-game plateau and a steady climb through the leagues.

Challenges

Gym upgrades have real opportunity costs. Every Cash spent on the gym is Cash not spent on fighter rerolls, and in early beta the balance of where Cash goes is one of the community’s largest debates. Speculative facility or perk purchases can stall your roster growth at exactly the moment you need better fighters. The upgrade costs scale quickly, and without exact official numbers, the most efficient order is community-derived rather than guaranteed. New players should follow the priority guide closely and resist the urge to buy everything at once.
