Maximizing Gem Earnings in Battles
In Command An Army, gems are the primary currency required for summoning units and unlocking new classes. While there are several ways to acquire them, active gameplay on the battlefield remains the most reliable method for consistent farming.
Many players make the mistake of trying to win matches as quickly as possible. Community experience suggests that the amount of gems awarded is tied to your performance and the duration of the match. If you end a game too early, you significantly limit your potential gem intake.
The Attacker Strategy:
Playing as the Attacker generally offers better earning potential than the Defender role. When you are on the offensive, you have more control over the flow of the game.
Extend the Battle: Avoid capturing the final flag until the last possible moment. Use the extra time to rack up as many kills as possible. Kills contribute heavily to your total score and, by extension, your gem reward.
Server Selection: If you are struggling to secure kills because of high-level opponents, try joining servers with fewer players or those with "bacon" players (newer, less experienced players who are often AFK). This allows you to farm points against NPCs without being constantly disrupted by skilled human opponents.
Coordinate with NPCs: Never send your units into the fray alone. Always let your NPC units attack first. Once they have engaged the enemy, follow up with your own troops to finish the targets. This prevents your units from being wiped out prematurely and maximizes your kill count.
While the Defender role allows for a more passive, AFK-style play, it is significantly less efficient for gem farming compared to an active Attacker strategy.
Completing Quests and Using Codes
Beyond standard gameplay, the game provides structured ways to earn currency that should not be ignored.
Daily and Weekly Quests:
These are arguably the most consistent ways to farm gems. Daily quests refresh at 12:00 AM local time, while weekly missions require more time investment but offer significantly higher payouts—often over 300 gems per completed quest. Make these a priority every time you log in, as they also grant account XP, which is vital for progression.
Redemption Codes:
Developer-released codes are the fastest way to get a sudden influx of gems. These are often shared on the game's official social channels or community pages. Since these codes are time-sensitive, it is beneficial to check for new releases regularly. Redeeming them takes only a few seconds and provides immediate resources for your next summoning session.
Why You Need Gems: Ascension and Classes
It is important to understand where your gems are going so you can prioritize your spending. Gems are primarily used for:
Summoning: This is the main use case. You will need a significant amount of gems to pull high-tier units like the Immortal, Spartan, or Samurai.
Ascension: Simply pulling a unit isn't the end of the road. To make your units stronger, you must ascend them. This process requires duplicates of the same unit. For example, reaching a 3-star ascension level requires eight duplicates of the same 4-star unit. Because of this, you need a constant supply of gems to keep summoning.
Class Unlocks: While you get one class for free during the tutorial, others (such as the Assassin or Hammer classes) must be purchased with gems. Unlocking these classes changes your equipment and weapon, allowing you to lead your army more effectively from the front lines.
FAQ
Is it worth AFK farming in Command An Army?
While you can earn gems by playing as a Defender and being semi-AFK, it is not the most efficient method. Active play as an Attacker typically yields 200–300 gems per match, whereas AFK methods generally result in much lower totals. Use AFK only if you are unable to actively play.
Does winning the game matter?
Yes, winning is important for the final score, but how you win matters more. Winning too quickly results in fewer gems. The goal is to maximize your activity (kills, capturing objectives) over the longest possible time before securing the victory.
Can I buy gems?
Yes, if you have Robux to spare, you can purchase Gem Packs directly from the in-game store. However, for free-to-play players, focusing on daily quests and active battle tactics is the sustainable way to progress.
