I think it really depends on what defenses you use and how you distribute your skills. If you increase your duel gem mastery skills or pure gem mastery skills, then obviously one will become more useful than the other. Like you, I tend to prefer pure gems. They have more power! Though I do use both; I prefer putting either pure or duel gems in towers (since having duel powers can be very strong) and just pure gems in traps (so that the special power of a single gem will be used).
*There actually is a thread comparing pure to duel and multicolored gems. Some people say duel is the way to go...that might give some more insight to your question.
Its called "Multicolored gems, duel gems or pure gems" As of right now it's on the 2nd page of the flash games section. You shouldn't have to search too far back in the forum if you look at it soon.
I haven't played it that mcuh...But I think dual gems have more bonuses, but not as strong as pure. Pure has a bonus, and the bonus is stronger then dual, but Dual has more bonuses... I would stick with dual.
Dual Gems are the best! Just look at the skill "Dual Gem Mastery" and compare it with "Pure Gem Mastery" Dual: 60% bonus Pure: 40% bonus Furthermore there are monsters which are immune to certain types of gems, so the probability of having the "right" colour in a tower doubles ^^ Furthermore it is just easier to get different gems than getting similar ones ^^ Hope that helped you ^^
That thing you said about immunities, I don't understand. If a monster is immune to a certain gem, and you attack it with a dual gem, who has half that immunity, will they do their full damage, half, or none?
yes dual gem mastery gives +60% power. pure gem mast. 40% and multi color mast. 30% so.. dual gems are the best..
and u can find it in the strategy guide: 'Gems Dual gems are superior to pure gems, they get larger bonuses to their damage, range, and firing speed. This can further be improved with the Dual gem mastery skill'
About inmunities, I think it is just for special, not for damage. So if the enemy is inmune to slow, you will damage it will blue gems, but it will not be slowed.
Yes, duals have better stats, but pures have better specials, it's hard to say which is better in towers, cause those specials might make a huge difference.
Prismatic gems are not outright bad (they're better than 4+ hues, that's for sure), but considering how difficult it is to make prismatic gems in most levels, they just aren't worth the trouble. Their power and number of specials usually don't make up for the mana needed to combine all those gems.
