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

Event Rewards

500 / week

Requires ranking in the top 5-10% of The Long Haul and Earth's Defenders events. Join an alliance early — it dramatically improves your chances of reaching top tiers.

PvP Rewards

~1,850 / week

Your league and rank determine PvP income. Start with the default Elite II at rank 13 and climb as you improve. All three arenas (Restricted, Open, Alliance War) contribute independently.

Promo Codes

300 / code

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 27 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
