Hi everyone, i’m PO PandaMoratia. In today’s article we will talk about the Equipment Stone Inlaid management.

Acquiring Gems :

Before spending any gems, we need to earn some. Getting gems is fairly easy, you simply have to kill gnomes. Based on the gnome level you will get x gems (at least 4 at level 55).

Due to the very high amount of gems that will be needed for this new feature. I highly recommend maximizing your daily AP generation in raiding gnomes and waiting for Double Reward Events to spend AP potions into raiding gnomes.

Since you will be killing a lot of gnomes, it can be a good idea to optimize your team setup to maximize the amount of xp scroll you will generate and minimize the amount of troops lost.

Crafting Gems :

To get a higher level of gem, you have to combine 3 gems of the previous levels. So to get a level 4 gem, you need to combine 3 level 3 gems. It will grow very quickly and getting level 8 gems will require 2187 level 1 gems.

Spending your Gems :

There are several ways to look at how you want to spend your gems. The first decision you’ll have to make is the balance between your 3 marches.

I would recommend to put at least 1 level 1 gem for each of your march. Beyond that point you can either want to focus all-in one march (probably the best option for low spender who usually only use 1 march in pvp) or to spread it across your 3 march by steps. March 1 to level 4, then March 2 and 3 to level 4. March 1 to level 6, then March 2 and 3 to level 6 and finally March 1 to level 8 and then March 2 and 3 to level 8 (this is more suitable for high spenders who usually can use 2 to 3 march in pvp). I do not use gems on my bench because i am mostly a pvp oriented player. If you are more of a PvE player then you can gem your bench.

Now the second decision you will have to make is how you will distribute your gem for each of your immortals.

There will be mostly 2 philosophies here, the first one is to maximize the gem drops and keep the identity of each immortal by evenly spreading the gems. Which will give us by Archetype :

-Attack and Range immortal : 4 Physical Attack, 4 Physical Defense, 4 Magical Defense, 2 Accuracy and 2 Resilience

-Mage : 4 Magical Attack, 4 Physical Defense, 4 Magical Defense, 2 Accuracy and 2 Resilience

-Support and Defense : 6 Physical Defense, 6 Magical Defense, 2 Accuracy and 2 Resilience

The second way is to maximize your mitigation percentage, no longer following immortals identity and gems drop rate, we will aim instead to have as much Physical Defense as Magical Defense to have the highest mitigation possible at level 8. That give us per Archetype :

-Attack and Range immortal : 4 Physical Attack, ROUNDUP((Magical Defense - Physical Defense)/257,0) + ROUNDDOWN((8-ROUNDUP((Magical Defense - Physical Defense)/257,0)/2),0) Physical Defense, what left in Magical Defense, 2 Accuracy and 2 Resilience

-Mage : 4 Magical Attack, 8 Physical Defense, 2 Accuracy and 2 Resilience

-Support : ROUNDUP((Magical Defense - Physical Defense)/257,0) + ROUNDDOWN((12-ROUNDUP((Magical Defense - Physical Defense)/257,0)/2),0), what left in Magical Defense, 2 Accuracy and 2 Resilience

-Defense : 12 Magical Defense, 2 Accuracy and 2 Resilience

As an example, my Hannibal has 4331.8 Magical Defense and 3908 Physical Defense before any gems. My repartition will then be 4331.8-3908=423.8/257=1.6 rounded up at 2. I have 8 sockets available so i spread what is left evenly which gives me +3 Physical Defense for a total of 5 Physical Defense and 3 Magical Defense.

Conclusion :

This is a marathon and not a sprint, be diligent in waiting for the Double Reward Event for spending AP potions will go a very long way. I evenly spread Accuracy and Resilience gems to optimize the gems drop, if you feel like you're having more Accuracy than needed, you can play with the Lord Talent to balance it up.
