Just when the mobile gaming industry seemed to be taking a breather, FunPlus International shook things up last week with the exciting release of DC: Dark Legion™, a DC-themed action-strategy RPG. The game has hit the ground running, receiving positive feedback for its balance of free-to-play (F2P) friendliness and pay-to-win elements. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore strategies for F2P players to optimize their spending across the game's currency stores, and how paying players can get the most bang for their buck in the world of microtransactions. Let's dive in!
Source Energy Gems – The Premium and Freemium Currency
In DC: Dark Legion™, Source Energy Gems, or simply Gems, serve as the game's premium and freemium currency. This means that both paying players and F2P players have access to and can earn this currency, without any exclusive paid-only options seen in similar games. Here are the ways players can accumulate Gems:
Empowered Legacy
The Empowered Legacy is the premium version of the game's battle pass, known as "Legacy". By completing special challenges and daily missions, players can earn experience points for Legacy, advancing through its levels. Each level offers a free reward and a premium reward. The premium version, priced at approximately $10, unlocks enticing rewards such as World Anvil fragments, Legacy pieces supply, AC/DC shards, and, of course, Gems.
Gift of the Source
The Gift of the Source is a one-time purchase that permanently unlocks a second construction queue. Priced at just $2, this pack also rewards players with 120 Gems upon purchase, making it a valuable investment for both F2P and paying players.
Growth Funds
Growth Funds offer another one-time deal, costing around $20. Players receive rewards based on the different objectives they achieve in the game. The level of your War Room directly impacts the amount of rewards you can claim, including Gems, drones, intel, World Anvil fragments, and cash. This makes it an appealing option for those looking to invest a bit more into their gameplay experience.
For an enhanced gaming experience, players can enjoy DC: Dark Legion™ on a larger screen using their PC or laptop, paired with a keyboard and mouse, thanks to BlueStacks.
