Gems[]
In Squad Busters, gems are the main resource that determines victory in battles. These gems are found during gameplay, making each match a thrilling hunt for them. The player who accumulates the most gems by the end of a match clinches victory, climbing the ranks based on their gem collection prowess. Gems can be acquired through various actions on the battlefield. Whether it's Busting Opponents, Vanquishing Monsters, or even simply by cutting trees, every strategic move can lead to a glittering reward. Even outside battles, they play a crucial role for rewards of Passes (Starter Pass / Seasonal Gem Pass).
