DC: Dark Legion Spending Guide (Where to Spend Your Gems Wisely)

If you’ve just started playing DC: Dark Legion (or you’ve finally decided to put some money into the game), you might be wondering: Where should I actually spend? What’s worth it, and what should I skip?

‍

The truth is, you don’t need to buy every bundle or drain your gems just to keep up. You just need to spend smart, and that’s exactly what this guide is here for.

‍

We’ll break down how to prioritize your gems, where real-money spending makes the biggest difference, and how to stretch your budget further without sacrificing progress.

‍

What You Should Do Before You Start Spending

‍

Before you burn through your gems or pull out your wallet, there are a few core priorities every DC: Dark Legion player should focus on. These early-game moves have long-term impact, and they’ll make any future spending way more efficient.

‍

1. Unlock Your Second Construction Queue

‍

If you only buy one thing, make it the Gift of the Source. It’s a one-time, $1.99 upgrade that gives you a permanent second construction slot, and that means double the building speed, faster War Room progress, and smoother event prep.

‍

Even light spenders will feel the payoff on this one.

‍

2. Save 3,000 Gems for Interstellar Visitor

‍

It’s tempting to grab resources or anvils when you’re short, but smart players save 3,000 gems each week for the Interstellar Visitor event.

‍

That’s where you get some of the best returns in the game: 40 anvils, extra materials, and event synergy, all for gem spending you were probably going to do anyway.

‍

3. Track Value by Resource (Anvils Are a Great Example)

‍

Whenever you're spending gems, keep one number in mind: 60 gems per anvil. That’s your target ratio. Some bundles hit that, others go over 100+ per anvil (which isn’t great).

‍

This logic applies to other resources too: always calculate your cost per value, especially during events.

‍

Shop Breakdown: How to Get the Most Out of Every Store

‍

‍

Mystery Shop

‍

The Mystery Shop refreshes often, and it’s tempting to tap “Buy” on anything that looks rare but hold up. This store is one of the easiest places to waste gems without realizing it.

‍

Here’s the rule: anything that costs 60 gems per anvil (or less) is fair game. That means the 3-pack for 180 gems is solid. Occasionally, you’ll see a single anvil for 60 gems, grab that too.

‍

But when you start seeing 3 anvils for 323 gems or 5 for 540+, skip it. At that point, you’re paying a premium for something that’s constantly available elsewhere.

‍

Cash-only items? Always buy them. You’ll generate more in-game cash than you think, and those freebies or cheap deals are easy wins.

‍

One smart habit is to check this shop daily, but don’t buy blindly. Prioritize anvils, watch gem ratios, and never dip below 3,000 gems before Interstellar Visitor.

‍

‍

League Store

‍

This store runs on League Contribution Points, so your spending power depends on activity, and not money. That’s why it’s critical to spend intentionally.

‍

The first thing to grab in the League store is The Jet. Once it shows up, buy it. It’s a one-time unlock, and it gives your squad long-term mobility upgrades. You’ll only see it once, and it’s 100% worth grabbing.

‍

After that, stock up on Quantum Components, as these fuel your jet upgrades and are often the biggest limiting factor once you hit mid-game. Make them a habit.

‍

Then, and only then, consider picking up anvils, but only when they cost under 1,000 League points. Anything above that starts eating into your core upgrades.

‍

League store is your slow-and-steady grind shop. Don’t waste currency on filler.

‍

Metabrawl Store

‍

This store is unique: it’s the only place to reliably grab Raven shards (if you’re building her), and it rotates weekly. That means you don’t have to panic-shop, just plan ahead.

‍

If you’re not focused on Raven, your best long-term value comes from Stims and Chips. These are boring but essential: stims help you star up heroes, while chips help with lab research, which gets expensive fast.

‍

Avoid Bane unless you’re doing it for fun or memes, because he’s overpriced and underwhelming. And don’t chase gear here unless you’re trying to fill a specific stat gap.

‍

Tip: Do your Metabrawl fights daily. You don’t need to win them all, just show up to keep the store funded.

‍

‍

Worldline & House of Secrets

‍

Worldline Particles come from duplicate legendary pulls. They’re slow to build and easy to waste, but don’t. You’ll be tempted to grab anvils, but the real value? Magic Eyes.

‍

Once you hit 200 Magic Eyes, you can buy character-specific legacy gear in the House of Secrets. These are passive stat-boosting items that tailor to individual heroes like Superman or Sinestro. They don’t just increase stats, they add layers to gameplay.

‍

This isn’t an early-game priority, but it’s absolutely worth saving toward if you plan to play long term. Think of this as your late-game weaponization path. The more you plan now, the more power you unlock later.
