Defense
Just like your attack attribute, your overall defense level is influenced by a variety of things including your individual attack level, the strength of your Mafia gang and items you have. You can boost your defense quicker in the Mafia game by getting good items. Every skill point used will boost your defense by one level.

Health is not used in the Mafia game for anything other than boss attacks, fights and work as a hit man for other Mafias. As with the attack and defense attributes health is also on a 1:1 ratio.
Stamina
Your stamina level is improved at a ratio of 2 to 1. Two skill points are necessary in order to boost your stamina level by one point. The amount of time you are able to attack other players is determined by your stamina level.
