Battle Camp Gem Matching Guide

Alright, so you're killing monsters in Battle Camp but it isn't coming along well? Well, to help you along I'm writing this handy dandy Battle Camp Gem Matching Guide. This is what I do to hit the highest damage possible.

Single Target Monsters:
Battles that require a single target are often the easiest to do damage on. The reason being that in these battles the strategy is to make as many 3 Gem matches as possible. So, for example if you have 6 Fire Gems on the board, it is customary to try to make a 5 Gem match, avoid this. A 5 Gem match accomplishes an 'Attack All' but with one monster that's wasted. It's better to do two three Gem matches which will result in 2 fire attacks + 20% for the combo.

Three gem matches and combos are the key to single target.

Groups of Monsters:
Battles with multiple targets are arguably some of the most fun because of the ability to hit extremely high damage numbers. The key with groups of monsters is in hitting an 'Attack All' 5 Gem match every turn. This can be done however you wish by displacing other gems around the board, but every turn there should be a 5 gem match.

--It's good to note that the 5 Gems don't have to be in a line. They can be in a T or in a + or an L shape. As long as they are grouped as 5 it will activate.

Groups of Monsters 2.0:
Here comes the fun part with groups of monster damage. The way damage is calculated is that if a player matches 5 gems, the attack all is activated for that element, that means ever additional group of 3 gems or more of that element will stack fully.

So, when you have 8 gems on the board of Fire, you should attempt to match 5 Fire and 3 Fire separately on the same turn. This will result in double damage fire damage to every monster on the board. This is extremely useful in raiding.

Diagonal Movement:
It's worth mentioning that you can move gems diagonally. You need to be very precise when doing it but this will allow you to get around sticky situations when you get used to it. It allows you to get out of many sticky situations.

Displacement:
Finally, it's very important to get used to the way displacement works. As you start to get used to displacement you'll find yourself moving much more quickly. Displacement occurs when your gem swaps with any other gem. When you can, practice moving the gems around the board and the ways to do it. This will help you in making very large combos later on.

Combo's from above:
Try to ensure that any remaining pairs of gems are aligned upward if the space above them will have no incoming gems. This is because it's much more likely that one of the matching element will drop than two. It's pretty hard to do while doing the other things, but once you get used to it, it's second nature.
