![]() ![]() ![]() Mana system seems to be currently following GC2. 9x Speed is not here, which might be combined with the 3x Speed button. No info for enemy system.**The supergem** – After a point, it does not become beneficial to combine two gems of an equal grade. Why? Because the resulting gem only has 1.5x the amount of damage as the two original gems. However, there is a much easier and less expensive method to building damage and increasing firing speed. To supergem, you must take a Dual gem of grade 3 or higher and combine it with gems at least two grades lower. You can combine a grade 3 with grade 1s, for example. The resulting gem has more damage and slightly more firing speed, but with each combination, the amount of firing speed will increase exponentially. The result? After 30-50 or so gem combinations, you will acquire a gem with a firing speed of greater than 200, capable of killing armies of creatures. The supergem is the basis of more advanced Gemcraft play. If you have enough mana and the damage to handle it, you should anger with higher grades of gems. The higher the grade, the more score gain you will get. However, the HP will increase faster with each anger. The good thing about angering with higher grades is that you will need fewer angers to achieve higher score. After a while, the armor of the creatures will become too high to deal with if you anger with grade 1s. If you anger with grade 1-6, the score increase will diminish over time – with each successive anger, you will get less and less score increase. However, if you anger with grade 7 and higher, the score will increase more and more. If you anger a wave with a high enough grade, each creature in the wave can have millions of Base score. There is a particular gem, the Orange gem, that “steals mana.” The mana gain from these gems seems pitifully low – only about 1-2 per hit. However, with supergemming, we can create gems that steal up to 10 mana per hit and fire 670 times per minute! Create a dual supergem that has an Orange component (try level ID# 11 Endurance, which is Orange and Green). ![]() You can place this in a tower to deal damage or You will find that once you have a few of these supergems, you will earn mana faster than you can possibly spend it. To speed up the process, I recommend clicking on the gem, pressing 6 on your keyboard, and dragging to combine with the desired gem. We have not talked much about mana pooling so far. Mana pooling is the process of spending mana to increase your mana “pool.” The pool itself is not important. With each mana pool, you will get 5% more mana and score gain. After 20 mana pools, you will double the amount of mana and score you will get every wave. With a full map of RO supergems (we will talk about these in the next section), it is possible to get a mana pool of over 1 million. Instead of clicking the Mana Pool key, try pressing 4 or M. There is a particular type of Orange component supergem that yields 6x the mana of the normal O-component supergem. Purple gems lower the armor (defense) of monsters, making them take more damage.The Red component looks like it does nothing in a trap unless you have at least 15 splash (this is not true – it still can hit multiple targets even if it doesn’t say so). Placing these near towers means the monsters slow down to take more hits by towers as they pass by. It's a great idea to place these next to your towers.īlue gems have a simliar effect, only they slow the monsters down. Durring this time, it doesn't move, so it can be hit many times by your towers. ![]() Light blue gems shock a creature, giving it damadge and freezing it in place for a few seconds. Poison trails have a new green-gem trap on spaces where the last poison effect wore off, to make your monsters continuously poisoned, so they drop dead before they reach your base. Poison doesn't stack (a poisoned creature that goes over a green gem again doesn't do anything), so it's not beneficial to put them next to one another. You can place traps with green gems all around the track to create a "Poison Trail". Orange, and Red-Orange gems are used for "Manna Farming" It is also capable of wiping out weak aliens that pass by. The RO gem collects mana from not only it's alien passer-by, but also others around it, thanks to the red splash effect. ![]()
