ever frustrated that you just can't get that last gem you need well here is a basic tactic that should help.

I will use the prospective of attacking someone. first you select your cards to attack with. then when you go to battle the "enemy's" lvl and defensive points are shown. now say you have a deck that totals up to 100 attack points. but you have a total of 140 points to use. what you can do is weaken the enemy and blow through their traps. make an attack deck of 10 (go get some child zombie from Vegas if you don't have a 10 point card.) go to the gem you want to battle for. REFRESH the enemy list to give you the most time to attack. then choose the person with the lowest def points. attack them 4 times. then go to your deck put back together you 100 point deck and go back and attack them again. you will find that you will have a huge chance of winning at that point.

here is the explanation. every time you attack the first one clears any traps. also any attack you make depletes there usable defensive points. after a few attacks they have lost several pointas and if they do not have enough points then not all their cards can be used for defense so it gets weaker fast.

also when setting up your own defense make sure to put your cards in order of highest def to lowest for the reason that if you get attacked multiple times your strongest Zombies are still defending.

this should help you to win the important fights to complete collections though it does harm your win to lose ratio if you care about that.

oh one more side note of something i have noticed there have been times when it has listed someone as having a gem even when they do not. when this happens it will still let you fight them but only if you are going to loose....  yea weird but if you would win then it tells you that you can not fight because they have no gem.

good luck hunting those gems.
