NEW AFK GEM GRIND METHOD In Command An ArmyTable of Contents
Optimizing Your AFK Gem Grind
If you are looking to progress in Command An Army without constant manual input, the AFK farming method is a viable strategy for accumulating gems. The core concept involves setting your units on an automated path to engage the enemy while you remain at your base.
To execute this effectively, enter a match and immediately spawn your best units. Command them to attack the enemy lines, then retreat to your base area. As your units engage the enemy, you will begin earning rewards for their kills. When your troops are eventually defeated, simply respawn them to maintain the cycle. According to community experience, this allows you to passively gather resources while performing other tasks.
Tip
While AFK, your units may occasionally get stuck or stop attacking. Periodically checking your screen to reposition your commander near the spawn point can help reset their AI and keep the gem income consistent.
Choosing the Right Units for Battle
While AFK grinding is convenient, active play yields significantly higher rewards. To succeed, you must understand unit roles. Spartans are widely considered the best defensive units, capable of holding positions and absorbing damage, whereas Mace units are excellent for aggressive pushes.
Community reports suggest that four-star units are essential for high-level play. If you find your current army lacking, focus on saving gems to summon higher-tier recruits. When playing manually, utilize the "Rush" command to increase your troops' attack speed, which is crucial for breaking through enemy lines and capturing strategic points. Remember that individual combat is difficult; always move with your teammates to avoid being overwhelmed by enemy swarms.
Boosting Progression with Codes
Redeeming codes is the fastest way to acquire gems and skill crystals, bypassing the need for long grinds. These codes are released periodically by the developers and provide an immediate boost to your squad's strength.

FAQ
Is AFK farming better than playing manually?
No. While AFK farming is efficient for multitasking, active play—participating in daily quests and capturing objectives—will always result in a higher volume of gems and better overall progression.
How do I get more rare units?
Rare units are obtained through the summoning system. You should prioritize using your gems on summons rather than minor upgrades early on, aiming specifically for four-star units like the Spartan or Samurai for the best performance.
Where can I find the latest news and codes?
The game's Discord server is the primary hub for update logs and community events. For codes specifically, bookmarking reliable gaming news sites is often faster than searching through Discord channels.
