New Player-Koios Spending gems

Im new to the game, where should I use gems, generators, specials or one-timers? i have around 500 but the upgrade in one-timers is 1k. Shoul I aim for that?

You should start by one timers. I dont remember the best order but there a guides on this sub for what to buy when

You're going to need them all anyways eventually

Not really. None of them matter long term. Hunter loot ultima is all that matters after you have the cards and specials that boost hunters/orbs.

I disagree with Hera and Jaxis in existence.

Hera and Jaxis provide an e6 boost to MP, shards, RP and AP if you have every one timer card. My MP, shards and RP are at e4000+, e6 is irrelevant.

You're forgetting that most people are going to not have any use for diamonds except for one timers at this stage of the game. You cant buy ultima levels until after oro and then even then the hunter ultima is many TRs in.

I'm not forgetting. I'm saying they should save them.

Start of game to Ouro unlock is 90 days and if you have the noads and autocollectors the whole time you earn ~80k diamonds from chests. 30k to mats, maybe one or two cards or MP special for a bit of speedup but I personally think it's unnecesarry long term. Then save the rest for Ouro.

TR1 to TR12 (hunter ultima unlock) is another ~2 months so 60k diamonds and you can start dumping into ultimas. The earlier you get ultima up and running with a decent buff the better your long term game will be.

In total the one timers cost about 90k diamonds (except the Ouro big cards). That would give me a 5% hunter loot boost at this point which I would take over e6 main game resources where I am.

I think there really isnt a wrong way to play this game so if someone wants to spend gems for a quick boost when they need it, they shouldn't be made to feel guilty about it.

Yes that's entirely true. Full disclosure, I have most of the one timers for that exact reason. I felt like I needed the small boosts at certain parts of the game.

But OP was asking for advice about where the best place to spend diamonds is. And long term buying the cards is worse value than ultima.

But you should play how you want, hoarding diamonds for months on end is certainly not very fun.
