Multiple Focuses

In my previous post I talked about using Sparring (Focused) to raise your skills above 70. Since you can only Sparring (Focused) once between each pair of fights, it can seem like you can only ever have one group (quad) of skills above 70, but this is not the case. It's difficult, but not impossible.

Start raising the groups, but keep all their values close. Monitor them for decay. Before they start to drop, do a Sparring (Free), and raise each skill in that group by only 1. Use Sparring (Focus) as often as possible to reduce the cost of raising the skills, rotating between the groups each time.

It is possible to do this with as many as 3 groups, but that tends to be the limit. More than that and you won't be able to get enough sparring sessions in before the groups begin to decay. You also won't be able to use this method to raise the extra groups above 90.

As you get close to the end of your career, attempt to specialize and raise one of the groups as high as you can while maintaining the others. My math suggests you should start this run when all the groups are around 86, and/or your fighter has about 4 fights remaining.
