Beginner Guide and How to Get Gems

Updated · Basics

Quick answer

Pick Finn or Jake (Jake → Alien Jake is the easiest early evolution), redeem the 6 codes (4,600 gems), log in daily (7,000 gems per 7-day streak), claim 1,000 gems every 5 player levels at Finn's Campsite, and farm Candy Road (50 gems per replay) and the Dungeon Train (120 gems per win). Spend gems on 10× summons (450).

Your first hour

  1. Choose Finn or Jake as your first hero and finish (or skip) the tutorial.
  2. Redeem all codes at Jake’s Code Corner — 4,600 gems and 63 Trait Crystals.
  3. Summon in 10s at the Treasure Hoard (450 gems for 10). A Legendary or better is guaranteed within 50 summons. See the summon calculator.
  4. Fill your 6-hero team and push through Candy Kingdom. Each new stage pays 150 gems + a Trait Crystal the first time.
  5. Claim level rewards at Finn’s Campsite every 5 player levels.
  6. Head for Ice Kingdom Act 5 and farm 10 Sandwiches for Alien Jake (evolutions).

Common beginner mistakes

FAQ

Should I pick Finn or Jake?

Either works — both are Rare starters and you'll summon the other quickly. Jake's evolution (Alien Jake) only needs Ice Kingdom Act 5, the second world, so it's the first big upgrade most players reach.

What's the fastest way to get gems?

Free gems in order of size: player level rewards (1,000 every 5 levels), the 7-day login streak (7,000), codes (4,600 once), stage first clears (150 each), Dungeon Train wins (120 each), stage replays (50 each — Candy Road is the quickest). Infinite also pays every wave.

What happens if I miss a daily login?

The 7-day streak goes back to day 1, so day 7's 2,500 gems is the one to protect.

Is there an AFK mode?

We couldn't find one in the game. Some creators use macros, which we don't recommend — they can break Roblox's rules.
