I have also given brief explanations on why I have considered them.NameEffectReasonDouble Damage/Triple DamageDoubles/Triples the damage done by a cardWorks well with any card that deals damage, but more so with single-target choices. Cards that target single enemies typically have serious damage. You can amplify it by putting a Double/Triple damage Gem. Those cards can be extremely useful against all enemies, but more so against bosses. DrainHeals when the card kills an enemyWhile you'll always take some damage, it's not an easy task to heal yourself. You can use a specific high-damage card as a healing item if you manage to land a kill with it. Easy ComboThe card always benefits from the comboThis is my favorite gem out of all options since it completely bypasses the traditional rule of playing cards in ascending mana order to trigger the combo. You can create combos with cards that won't be possible without the Easy Combo Gem. RefundRefunds mana to play the cardHaving more mana makes it easier to create combos and deal with enemies. When you play a card that has the Refund gem, you'll get back the mana you spent. That way, you get the chance to play more cards and trigger any resulting combo if that's applicable. EvolutionEvolves the card into a more powerful weaponThis is an amazing gem to get if you've one part of a powerful evolution. You can then automatically complete the evolution (without the full requirements) and create a more potent item. CountdownMana cost reduces when not used.This is another smart way to manage mana, but it's slightly complex. The idea is not to play the card with this gem, which will then reduce the mana cost. When you play it the next time, it will cost less than the previous turn. You can again refrain from playing it to further reduce the mana cost, and it can drop down to zero. WildMakes the card WildIf you insert this on a card, it will turn it into a Wild Card. While Wild Cards can be played only once per turn, they can become a part of a combo chain even if it doesn't meet the basic requirement of the ascending mana cost. Combined with Easy Combo, this is a useful way to trigger more combos per turn. Reverse ComboAllows the next card to continue the combo while breaking the base rule of increasing mana ascendancyWhen you play a card with the Reverse Combo gem, the next card will always trigger a combo, irrespective of its mana cost. There are plenty of other gem options that you can also utilize on your run. This guide will provide you with a quick rundown of what each does inside the game. Also, pay attention to your Power Ups since they will also play a key role in determining how impactful a gem will be. The post Best Gems to use in Vampire Crawlers appeared first on Destructoid.
