I'm sorry, I'm not sure how to search through this forum, maybe it was asked once before... Gemcraft 0, what are hues for? I mean the color differences between the same type of gems and the number? If you know, could you please tell me all about the mechanics of it ?(what it does and how is best to use, if at all, why my duals change color closer to the one last merged etc) Thanks in advance
A hue is a 360-degree value representing color, where 0 and 360 mean red, 120 means green, 240 means blue. If you combine two gems, the resultant gem has average hue, the value closer to both starting hues is chosen. Say one gem has 250 hue, the other gem has 30 hue, the two possible values are 140 and 320, the latter is taken because the arc from 250 to 0 to 30 is shorter (140 degrees) than the arc from 250 to 180 to 30. The actual mechanics of how hue affects damage is undetermined, but in general the greater is the difference between hues of monster and gem (in terms of arc distance) the more damage does the gem do against that monster.
