You want me to do videos showing you how to play? Its simple.

If you are struggling with first few waves, it means you have spent too many skill points.

If you are struggling with the last few waves, it means you have spent too few skill points.

Every skill point spent make you loose staring Mana.

At level 35. You can make a level 5 gem at begining if you have no skill points spent.

A level 5 gem is enough to solo the first few waves of every level that have under 120 starting hp.(the field you played have 64 starting hp just saying).
.

Beam is in D4. It should be one of the first skills you unlock.

If you're having trouble, you either need to redistribute your skill points or get more by leveling up some.

@thebigbox , any tip how to distribute skillpoints - I wanna try endurance (everything unlocked, lvl 100). What tactic should I choose?



I just did one try (F3, 21.1x) and got 1kk - too little for my taste...

im not doing endurance until i have completed every level on haunting difficulty, i dont want to make the game easier by leveling on extra stuff ^^

Hmm...shadows on K4, which is coincidentally also a wizard tower field.

Not like I want help with them. I'll find a way myself.

Did like this for K4.

To defeat shadows, by far the easisest way at lower level, is to use a level 4-5 purple gem. Wait until the shadow turn invincible and as soon as it lands freeze it. Then place a tower under it, and quickly put the purple gem with Beam.

In just a few seconds his whole armor will disapear, then he becomes pretty easy to kill with a high level gem.

Beam activates special effects like 50 time per second lol, so its extremly effective on mana gems or on purple gems.

Well, I honestly don't think I can afford to leave purple gems outta my killers after seeing the possibilities. Hmm...

Also, question: What happens if a gem has all nine components? Are all components registered? What about if there are less than nine? Just curious.

How come? Shouldn't that be extremely powerful, having critical hit, chain hit, bloodbound, poolbound, supressing healing, mana leech, slowing, armor tearing, and poison (even though poison is much more effective if used in traps)?

Look at this.






Not only the price to upgrade is 4 times bigger for the 9 component. But compare the Critical hit lol.

12% chance to do x2 vs 80% chance to do x10.

And thats only level 7 gems, level 10 gems the dual will do 80% chance to do x50. And the other still wont do much.

And that 0.49 mana per hit roflmao, my mana mastery is like level 15.

A good strategy is putting a Black/red dual gems in traps near the begining with reloading speed, and tehn when your getting in trouble these gems will have thousands of hits and then you upgrade them and combine them into your main atatck power gem.

Cuz of the high number of hits the black power will be very powerfull and gives lot of damages.

Level 22 gems comparaison:
