Your Weekly Gem Income

Last updated:

As a new player, you can earn approximately 4,043 gems per week from all sources. This guide breaks down each source and helps you prioritize your efforts for maximum gem income.

Where Gems Come From

Gameplay Basics

Invincible Guarding the Globe is an idle squad RPG where you collect heroes from the Invincible universe, build teams, and battle through a brand-new storyline. Here's what every new player needs to know:

Team Composition

Each team can hold up to 5 heroes across three essential roles: Attackers (deal damage), Defenders (absorb damage and protect allies), and Support (heal and buff). A balanced team with all three roles performs best. You can swap heroes between battles, so experiment with different combinations.

Controls & Speed

The game features auto-battle controls that let the AI handle skill usage — great for easier fights and grinding. You can also enable 2x speed to complete battles twice as fast. For tough boss fights, switch to manual control to time your ultimate abilities strategically.

Gear & Artifacts

Equip heroes with gear (weapons, armor, accessories found in battles) to boost stats. Each gear piece has a rarity and role attribute. Artifacts are unique items that grant special abilities — obtained from The Lab and special events. Check and upgrade gear regularly.

Game Modes

Campaign Mode

The main story mode — progress through chapters to unlock new heroes, earn rewards, and experience the original storyline. Chapters get tougher as you advance, requiring stronger teams and better strategies. This is where you'll spend most of your early game time.

GDA Ops

Time-limited battles where you clear waves of enemies for rewards. Your top source of Hero XP and Hero Special XP. Set a team to auto-fight and earn passive XP even while offline. Higher player (Agent) levels unlock better GDA Ops battles with better rewards.

PvP Arenas

Three arenas: Restricted Arena, Open Arena, and Alliance War (Multiverse Arena). Each has 14 leagues with 120 ranks and its own payout table. You earn gems, PvP currency, and hero tickets based on your league and rank. Start at the default Elite II / rank 13 and climb as you improve. See the PvP guide for full league payout tables.

Join or create an alliance to unlock cooperative gameplay. Alliances provide score multipliers for events (essential for reaching top tiers), enable Alliance War PvP, and grant Agent XP for account progression. Join one on day one — it dramatically improves your rewards in almost every game mode.

Beginner Priority Checklist

  1. 1
    Log in daily — set a daily reminder. This is your most reliable gem source at 910/week. Never miss a day.
  2. 2
    Redeem promo codes — there are 28 active codes worth 300 gems each. Tap the Promo Codes card on the main infographic to reveal all codes, then tap any code to copy.
  3. 3
    Join an alliance — alliance membership unlocks score multipliers for events and enables Alliance War participation.
  4. 4
    Participate in events — even if you don't reach top tiers, participating in events earns valuable experience and helps you understand the mechanics.
  5. 5
    Explore PvP arenas — start with Restricted Arena and Open Arena. Each league has its own payout table — higher leagues pay more gems and currency at every rank. Elite II at rank 13 earns 520 gems in the Restricted Arena, while the same rank in Intern earns only 80. Climbing leagues directly improves your rewards.

Common Rookie Mistakes

  • Ignoring login rewards — missing even one day costs 130 gems. Set a daily reminder and never break the streak.
  • Spending gems on premium chests — the gamble rarely pays off. Save for hero upgrades and guaranteed value instead.
  • Playing solo without an alliance — alliances unlock score multipliers for events and Alliance War. Join one on day one.
  • Letting promo codes expire — codes have limited redemption windows. Check the code guide weekly and redeem immediately when you find new ones.
  • Neglecting PvP entirely — even if you don't climb high, participating in all three arenas earns you baseline rewards. Every gem counts.

Gem Spending Tips for New Players

  • Save gems for hero upgrades — investing in a strong core roster pays long-term dividends in all game modes
  • Avoid impulse chest pulls — premium chests are tempting but often yield poor returns. Save for guaranteed upgrades
  • Focus on daily operations — completing daily tasks unlocks the full 130 gems/day login reward
  • Track your income — use the main gem rewards infographic to monitor your weekly totals across all four categories
