Step 1: The Daily Quest Grind (The Essentials)

Many players ignore the Daily Quests, but in May 2026, the rewards have been buffed by 20%.

• Where to go: From the main spawn area, look to your left towards the "Quest Board" near the Summon building.

• What to click: Interact with the Board and prioritize quests labeled "Infinite Slayer" or "Daily Challenge".

• Pro Tip: Completing all daily tasks now grants a bonus "Gems Pouch" containing 500+ extra gems.

Step 2: Optimal Infinite Mode Strategy

Infinite Mode remains the king of gem farming, but only if you go to the right map.

1. Where to go: Head to the Play area and select Infinite Mode.

2. Which Map? Choose "Windmill Village" (it has the fastest wave spawns in the current update).

3. What to do: Use a "Speed-up" unit (like the revamped Support units) to clear waves faster. Aim for Wave 50+ to maximize your Gems-per-minute ratio.

Step 3: The Secret "AFK" Lounge (May 2026 Update)

The AFK Lounge has been updated with "Time-Limited Boosts" for the month of May.

1. Where to go: Enter the AFK Lounge portal located at the back of the lobby.

2. What to press: Once inside, look for the "May Boost Pedestal". You must stand on the blue glowing circles to receive a 1.5x Gem multiplier while staying idle.

3. How to maximize: If you have VIP, your gem collection rate is doubled in this specific zone.

Step 4: Challenges and Raids

If you have a strong team, Raids are the fastest "active" way to get gems.

1. Where to go: Go to the Raid Entrance (The purple portal).

2. What to do: Look for the "Lunar Raid". Even on Normal difficulty, the Gem payout upon completion is currently higher than Story mode.

3. What to click: Ensure you click "Claim Rewards" manually after the boss falls to ensure no gems are lost.
