A hero's chest, injustice 2 mobile

You have just started and have been awarded with a lot of gems. What should you spend on you asked?

First you should check if you need new heroes, especially gold heroes. No gold you say? With the latest 1.5 patch you should have an offer at account level 5 with a confirm gold for 250 gems of you have not been spending gems on chest or none at all.

First recommendation is to boost up your hero count, by spending your first 1500 gems in hero chest, since there is a guarantee gold at the 10th chest and a chance of the elusive AkBM ( only legendary hero in game ).

Next spending on leveling operation to 11 is highly recommended as it gives a chance for getting gems.

Then buying premium chest for more gold heroes, as they can drop up to 4* and it's a guarantee gold hero on the 5th chest.

Here is some analysis on buying hero chest , premium hero chest and should you continue.

First The legendary AkBM is only obtainable via chest, lots of confirmation on hero chest but not premium chest.

Second, early gold unlocks, Chest only ( Unhinged Harley, Marksman Deadshot, Flora poison ivy, ) Gold heroes and late campaign Silvers ( all silvers can be obtain though campaign except Green Lantern, from arena )

With the exception of Chest only Gold, all you need is just buy to unlock and then start playing campaign to farm hero shards.

150 gem hero chest vs 250 gem hero chest

There will be a point where you will be hanging out with maxed out operation ( level 20 ) and a decent size hero roster.

Should you continue buying chest?

If it's for silver Hero, No. Gems better spend else where. Campaign refresh and Gem promo.

If it's for gold hero, Depends on which class are you lacking, recommended that you buy chest to unlock said hero and then use gem to promote till 4* and then continue chest farming for 5*
