Where to spend my gems?

Hi! So, I'm a casual player, dip in and out when time allows, so as such, am not great at acquiring many gems..... I've been saving my 750 gems for when I could purchase the captain combustible hero and plants which has just become available.. However..... With the news galactic cards release, which seem to be very strong, I was wondering whether I should stick to my original plan, or instead, spend my gems on galactic card packs? Cheers

  • Original plan! 🙂

    To get the most use out of your cards, even those fancy new Galactic Gardens cards, you'll want to be able to utilize any and all available combinations, meaning that you'll want every plant and zombie hero unlocked.  There are also hero quests to complete, and that'll give you a few gems and sparks.  750 gems for a guaranteed hero is an absolute best-purchase in this game*.

    *I'd add an "IMO" or "IMHO" disclaimer, but it might be a fact.

    I agree and I would add to that by suggesting grinding ads at least (5 mins a day for 100 gems)

    5min/day?
    Do you have a fast forward button for your ads?
    Almost every ad takes 30sec.
    30s * 20 = 10min
    Add to this the transition period animations, the usual "oops, something went wrong" 2/3 times a day and you are good for a minimum of 15min.
    That might be too much for a casual player. Aphid can't watch ads on his phone.

    Hi Aphid, I was thinking that purchasing the 11 premium pack bundle for 1000 gems gives me more cards and a bigger opportunity to get heroes as well? Do you think that these packs that may drop heroes are worth it?

    i suggest you buy hero pack only if you dont have 10x hero to help you grind ticket. its better if you buy 1000 gems, because of value and have slight chance to get heroes as well

    Well, well, well...
    Look at this beautiful "11 premium pack bundle for 1000 gems" below. That may sway you to go for the safe "hero pack" instead.

    @Cancerroyale, if your goal is to unlock all the heroes, I suggest you buy the hero pack as the drop rates on heroes in the packs aren't worth the gamble (as you can see from MyPouf's results).  Though zdarcon suggest only buying the hero pack if the hero is the week's 10x booster, it's notable that every hero will at some point be a 10x booster.  Personally, I feel the game is just more fun and there is more to do when you have every hero unlocked.

    LOL, who did you p!ss off @MyPouf?

    @Cancerroyale, I agree with everyone else, if you haven't unlocked all the Heroes, pick one (that preferrably has the x10 boost).  That's the most bang for your gems.

    one problem with what you are showing *: you cant get heroes from galactic gardens. no wonder the drop rates are so low!
