EVENT REWARDS

500 Gems/Week — Ranking Strategies & Payouts

500 GEMS / WEEK

Total Event Income

Last updated:

Events are your second-biggest weekly gem source — if you know how to rank. Two recurring events pay up to 500 gems combined: The Long Haul (300 gems, top 5%) and Earth's Defenders (200 gems, top 10%). Your ranking determines your payout. Unlike login rewards, events require active participation, but the gem yield makes the effort worthwhile. Alliance membership unlocks score multipliers that dramatically improve your odds.

★ TOP 5%

The Long Haul

300 GEMS per event cycle

A multi-day endurance event that tests your consistency and strategic planning. Your cumulative score across the event duration determines your ranking — only the top 5% earn this reward. The challenge intensifies each day as scores accumulate and rankings shift. Alliance participation unlocks score multipliers and bonus point events. This is the higher-tier event reward, requiring more effort but offering the larger gem payout.

Strategy Tips

  • ▸ Play every day to maintain momentum and avoid losing rank position — daily decay can undo weeks of progress
  • ▸ Steady high scores beat sporadic burst pushes — consistency is the single most important factor
  • ▸ Join an alliance for bonus score multipliers and coordinated event participation windows
  • ▸ Watch for 2x score amplifier windows and plan your biggest resource pushes around those periods
  • ▸ Prioritize daily quests that contribute to event score over general progression activities
★ TOP 10%

Earth's Defenders

200 GEMS per event cycle

An event centered around defending Earth from incoming threats. Your contribution score is calculated from enemies defeated, damage dealt, and objectives completed. The top 10% of contributors earn this reward — making it more accessible than The Long Haul. Coordination with alliance members amplifies your effectiveness and unlocks bonus score opportunities. The lower rank threshold means more players can earn this reward.

Strategy Tips

  • ▸ Maximize daily contribution through quest completion and efficient enemy defeat rotations
  • ▸ Spend event currency efficiently — avoid wasteful upgrades during active event windows
  • ▸ Coordinate with alliance members for defense bonus multipliers and shared reward boosts
  • ▸ Watch for bonus score amplification events and target your play sessions around those windows
  • ▸ Balance offensive and defensive tasks — overcommitting to one can hurt your overall contribution ranking

Maximizing Your Event Income

Together, The Long Haul and Earth's Defenders provide up to 500 gems per week. To consistently earn the full amount, focus on these key areas:

  • ▸ Alliance membership is essential — solo players will struggle to reach top rankings. An active alliance provides score multipliers, shared bonuses, and strategic coordination
  • ▸ Track event schedules — knowing when events start and end lets you plan resource allocation and time investment
  • ▸ Save resources between events — hoarding event currency and boosters between cycles gives you a day-one advantage
  • ▸ Combine with login rewards — daily login gems (130/day) can fund refreshes and event entry costs

Frequently Asked Questions

How often do events rotate?

Events typically run on a weekly cycle with occasional special events tied to game updates or holidays. The Long Haul and Earth's Defenders alternate or run concurrently, giving regular opportunities for gem income.

Can I earn from both events in the same week?

Yes. When both events are active simultaneously, you can earn up to 500 gems by placing in the top 5% of The Long Haul (300) and top 10% of Earth's Defenders (200). This requires managing your time and resources across both events.

What happens if I don't make the top threshold?

Only players within the required ranking thresholds earn gem rewards. If you don't reach top 5% or top 10%, you may still earn smaller consolation rewards like coins, XP, or other resources, but the gem payout requires competitive placement.
