Just when it seemed like the mobile gaming industry was settling into a rhythm, FunPlus International made waves with the surprise release of *DC: Dark Legion™*, an action-strategy RPG set in the iconic DC universe. The game has already launched and is receiving strong early feedback from players, striking a balance between free-to-play accessibility and premium advantages for those who choose to invest. In this guide, we’ll break down how F2P players can make the most of their time and resources across the various currency stores, as well as how paying players can optimize their spending for maximum value. Let’s dive in!
Source Energy Gems – The Dual-Use Currency
In *DC: Dark Legion™*, Source Energy Gems (or simply “Gems”) serve as both the premium and freemium currency of the game. Unlike many other titles in the genre, there is no strictly paid-only currency, making Gems accessible to all players regardless of whether they spend real money or not. Here's how you can earn them:
Empowered Legacy (Battle Pass)
The Empowered Legacy is the premium battle pass system in *DC: Dark Legion™*. By completing daily missions and special challenges, players gain experience and level up their Legacy progression. Each level unlocks both a free reward and a premium reward. The premium track costs around $10 and includes high-value items such as World Anvil fragments, Legacy pieces supply, AC/DC shards, and a generous amount of Gems.
Gift of the Source
For just $2, the Gift of the Source offers a one-time permanent unlock of a second construction queue, significantly boosting your in-game efficiency. Alongside that, it also grants 120 Gems upon purchase—making it one of the best value purchases in the game for long-term progression.
Growth Funds
The Growth Funds are another one-time purchase option, priced at approximately $20. This pack rewards players based on the progress they've made in the game, with the level of your War Room directly influencing the quantity and quality of rewards received. These include Gems, drones, intel, World Anvil fragments, and cash—perfect for accelerating your development without breaking the bank.
To enhance your gameplay experience, consider running *DC: Dark Legion™* on your PC using BlueStacks. With support for keyboard and mouse controls and the benefit of a larger screen, BlueStacks delivers smoother performance and better multitasking capabilities for an improved strategic edge.
