How to Get Gems in Anime Vanguards
Gems are the summon currency in Anime Vanguards, and at 50 Gems per summon you will always want more. Here are the dependable ways to build up a Gem stockpile.
Redeem codes
The single fastest free boost is redeeming codes. They frequently include Gems and Trait Rerolls, but they are case-sensitive and expire roughly two weeks after release — so claim them the moment you see a new one.
Clear Story content for the first time
First-time clears of Story stages hand out the largest Gem rewards in the game. If you are sitting on a pile of unspent Gems, the quickest way to earn more is simply to push further into the campaign.
Talk to NPCs
Most NPCs give a one-time Gem reward the first time you speak to them. When you arrive in a new area or hub, make a habit of talking to everyone before you move on.
Free pickups around the hub
There are free Gem pickups placed around the lobby and the Evolve building. They are easy to miss, so sweep the area when you log in.
Daily and event rewards
Daily objectives, login rewards and limited-time events all contribute Gems over time. None of them are huge individually, but together they fund a steady stream of summons if you check in regularly.
How to spend them well
Resist the urge to summon a few Gems at a time. Save up so you can pull in larger batches on a banner featuring a unit you actually want — it makes pity and rate-ups work in your favor. For which units are worth pulling for, check the tier list.
FAQ
How many Gems is a summon?
Each summon costs 50 Gems. Saving for ten-pulls makes your luck and pity progress more efficient than spending a few Gems at a time.
What is the fastest way to farm Gems?
Clearing new Story content for the first time gives the biggest one-off Gem payouts, followed by redeeming active codes. After that, daily and event rewards keep a steady trickle coming in.
