HOW TO PLAY
Crystal Gambit Strategy – without Emblem
Early Game – Controlled Loss Streak
Start the game by intentionally losing every fight. This maximizes your point gain for future Crystal Gambit payouts. Once you get close to the payout, it's critical to avoid accidental wins — winning at the wrong time cuts your progress by 50%.
- Scout constantly. If you’re too strong, remove items or move carries to the front.
- If you’re about to lose, optimize your positioning to take damage from fewer units (e.g., 3 instead of 7).
- Each enemy unit killed still grants points, so even close losses are valuable.
Trait Focus – Crystal Gambit Emblem Build
This version uses the without Crystal Gambit so play 3 no 5
- Gain bonus HP and Amp from the full trait.
- If you don’t have the Emblem, play around 3 Crystal Gambit with strong standalone units.
Mid Game – Payout Management
Transition into mid-game with 5 or 7 units, aiming to activate 6 sources of item drops.
- After each payout, you’ll receive bonus loot (similar to Heartsteel).
- Depending on the payout level, level 9 is ideal, but sometimes it’s better to roll on level 8.
- This is where flex play comes into action — adapt based on what you're offered.

Late Game – Legendary Pivot
As you reach higher levels, pivot into legendaries based on what you're offered.

- Let the quality of your cashout and drop guide your next move.
Final Tips
- Track opponent boards carefully every round.

- Don’t overcommit to any single comp — stay adaptable and economically efficient.
