It also has a chance to triple, so it can hit up to 15k a strike.įuzzyBacon, you get a single R/O supergem in a trap somewhere at the beginning, it should give enough mana if you play relaxed, if you’re going aggressive, get like 10-20 of them :) and then you are free to pick gems for towers for other qualities than mana steal.The epic tower defense journey continues with GemCraft – Frostborn Wrath. You combine a thousand times (it’s easier once you get a prismatic and learn the technics), you have a 2k-5k prismatic gem. With prismatic they get stuck at firing speed of 20\*grade with a minimum of 100, so only a prismatic of grade 13 can get 260 speed, while a dual of grade 7 can do the same with way less effort.Īctually I believe that the base value gets limited, not the value with all the bonuses, that’s why dual gems can be sped up to 200+ being lower grade.Ĭerebralcow, see, the base damage of a gem rises by (1-2)-(3-5) wach combine, which gives an average of 3-8 for a dual with maxed mastery. The “easy way” that most people will be looking for is just to play normally with some angering at the start of each level.įerret, yes, right now it’s possible with dual and probably pure gems only, haven’t tried pure much. > ~ Even if you manage to find an advantage from using them (and I don’t doubt there is one if you’re really awesome at the game), it simply isn’t necessary for completion of the game and getting the hard badge. > ~ As a result of needing downtime between waves, you can’t anger waves as much, meaning less short-term mana ~~and less score~~ - OK, so high scores maybe. > ~ Relies on you having only one gem on the field, which isn’t as good tactically as having multiple. > ~ **Not that much better stats than the equivalent high level gem that you could have bought with the same mana**. > ~ A lot of downtime for your gem, while you’re combining with it, as compared to making high level gems. Not everyone will necessarily be able to make it work.
A lot of extra work with the mouse games take longer. > What everybody forgot to say (garnered from my own experience and a thread on the subject): **Everything I said in this post is wrong wrong wrong! Supergems actually turn out to be amazing. I just finished a wave 35 carapace mode with 230,000 mana pool at the end (max you can get without a shrine). With that extra mana you should max your pool up more too. It’s also important to use keyboard shortcuts. Max out orange, red and yellow gem skills too. Why don’t you try a heroic mode to get the hang of it. The red/oranges don’t kill the later waves very easily. You should have put your first supergem in a trap, and taken that mana to make more gems. BTW, endurance modes amp up so much in HP, you should be bombing less and less till you get to no bombing. Unnerfed, and have been on last two versions, he nerfed the big bonus on the gem of e level from the mass kill at the end and you no longer get an immediate score bonus from xp shrines on endurance levels.Ĭerebral: what you are doing wrong is not putting your gems in traps which gets you get a lot more mana. I am at level 43 (IIRC) and playing the second area and I only use one tower per level and never leak any monsters. Use the time between waves as much as possible to combine my level 1’s to my supergem. Transmute (sp) the unwanted gems to the colors that I am using.į.
Create level one gems at a rate that would leave me enough Mana to do Gem combination.Į. If it ’s not what I want from that level then restart.ĭ. As soon as the level starts place a tower where it can attack all incoming waves as early as possible.Ĭ. Look at the gem available in the level and decide what combination I want (I like choosing from Splash, Mana, Triple Hit or Chain Hit)ī. Two would make things go faster, but it can be made with one hight level gem (I normally use a level 4)Ī. If you are starting with a high level gem you only really need one. You don’t necessarly need a high level gem to create a supergem, but idealy using a high level gem would cause you to max out stats earlier.ģ. Actually it can even be more than 2 colors but, sticking to 2 is better for the special attacks.Ģ. Supergems can be of any dual color combination. This is how I understand it, since I only just started using them (but they are working for me)ġ.
