Fastest Ways to Get Gems (Legit)

Updated: 16 Aug 2025

These routes focus on time-to-gems—repeatable clears you can do on autopilot with minimal setup. Mix 2–3 of them for a steady daily drip.

1) Short Maps with High Star Yield

• Tutorial & early campaign maps can be 3-starred in under 3 minutes once upgraded. Reset and repeat for predictable returns.
• Prioritize chokepoints where two paths converge—your AoE towers and hero skills hit double value.

2) Hero Challenges & Iron/Heroic Modes

These modes grant generous rewards relative to time spent, especially with a flexible hero (dash, stun, or AoE). Learn one safe route and repeat.

3) Call-Early Optimization

Calling waves early increases gold and speeds clear time. Plan cooldown cycles so reinforcements/hero ultimates line up with the spawn timer.

4) Achievements & One-Time Milestones

Knock these out while you farm. Many achievements pay gem chunks for things you’ll do anyway—perfect clears, specific tower counts, etc.

5) Endless Modes (If You Can AFK Safely)

Endless can be efficient with a stable layout. Build slow + shred + artillery, then micro the hero. If runs exceed 8–10 minutes, pivot to short maps instead.

Recommended Builds for Farming

• Anti-Armor Burst: mage line + armor-break hero + artillery follow-up.
• Flying Control: archer multi-shot + slow aura; add hero dash for leaks.
