Drain for gain is a strategy that increases your maximum HP and power by losing experience level (through some method of level drain) with lower stats (in particular constitution and wisdom), then leveling up with higher stats. By manipulating your stats before and after level drain, the amount of maximum HP and MP you lose when losing levels could be made much smaller than the amount you gain when leveling back up. The cycle can be repeated several times resulting in much higher HP and Pw for your character than other average characters of the same level.
