Forums → Games → Gemcraft Ch0 - Drop a gem bomb on infected buildings?

I'm not sure how many hitpoints that an infected tower has, but it's pretty high. I haven't been able to kill any because it seems that you can't create enough high grade gems to kill both the monsters AND towers.... I'm still learning the game but it's WAY harder than the 1st one huh?

As for WHEN to drop bombs on an infected tower, I think you can bomb them anytime you have the surplus gems to do it with. gl!

You drag a gem over the buildings and press b and let go... It's not exactly difficult...

The infected buildings have their hp written on them, once the hp reaches 0 the monsters spawn from other entrances.

Also, grade 1 gems can hit for any where from 100ish to 450ish. Use grade 1 gems as much as possible when you attack buildings.

The higher the grade of the gem, the greater the damage. I would simply try multiple times, with different strategies. Although I think you should destroy the beacons first, even though it may cost you. I am not very far in the game right now (only level 13 wizard) but I have beaten levels only by destroying some of the infected buildings with gem bombs. Just try it a few times and see how it goes for you on that battle.

You should attack those building with a lot of grade 1 gems. They do more damage/cost.

This level?



You wanna get two grade 3 towers placed in the loop of the road, and then destroy the building close to your tower before wave 7. The building has 900 HP, which can be taken out by some 3-10 grade 1 bombs or 1 grade 3 bomb (it's cheaper in mana to do it with grade 1 bombs).

If you know how to throw a gem bomb (you should know), then that is exactly what you do, right on top of the building. If you have 6-9 grade 1 gems and nothing else in you inventory, hold down shift and then click b or the bomb spell. That way you don't need to drag them all. Keep bombing it until it starts smoking and looks demolished.

Some infested buildings have way more HP than 900, but this one is one of the easier ones to deal with.
That level, however, is one I consider pretty difficult. Took me a while to beat it, and I think the levels to the left after the first Arcane Guardian level are easier.

The key in that level are skills. You need enough mana to support a bit of grade 1 gems and the gems for towers, too.

Then it is easy.

But the forbidden thing to destroy that kind of building is to make higher grade gems than grade 1.

I know that it says to drop a gem to stop the creeps from coming out, but I don't think it means one gem (even with certain timing)can stop them. You need to completely destroy the building. You can tell which levels will have creeps come out of infested buildings/other paths based on the sliding levels on the left of the screen (ones with just a triangle at the bottom follow the main path, and ones with more than one "triangle thing" go though all/many paths). You usually have until level 7 before any creeps stray from the main path.

Also, even though there are no armor piercing gems given, if you leveled up enough, you can use that skill (you don't even have to upgrade-sacrifice the one grade one gem your given to make more).

Xophia, yes, that's the level and thanks for the tips. I'll check it out.

Here's to report that I totally demolished (ok, well, barely scraped by) that level after I go the second monster tower demolished. I only get about 600 XP for beating a level and it takes a few levels before I can up my wizard skills. I'm now at lvl 30 and needing a few thousand more XP for lvl 31.
