Gems in Infinity Blade II

Gems are an inventory item, appearing in Infinity Blade II, being introduced in v1.1. They also appear in Infinity Blade III.

Description[]

Gems allow further equipment customization and can be applied in a piece of equipment's gem slots. There are eight differently shaped gems that offer various kinds of bonuses.

The Gem Forge allows the player to forge new gems by putting 3 gems in a 'Gem Forge' side menu, and waiting for said amount of time. For the first gem in a given rebirth, the time needed is 30 minutes in real world (1 month in game time). Gem Forge also requires an active server connections.

One can skip the process by paying an amount of gold, 2,500 per 30 minutes, scaling against how much time remains for the gem to be created. Another way to cut the time needed to forge gems is being reborn as it fast forwards time by 6 months in game time. Leaving gems to be forged and not speeding them up with gold generates no difference in the outcome of the gem.

The Gem Set found in Negative Rebirth Systems allows a gem to be forged instantly after successfully completing an XP challenge.

Circle gems are used to increase the stats of the character, namely Health, Attack, Shield and Magic. They are the most commonly usable gems which may appear on any kind of item.

Rare circle gems can be created by fusing 3 capped circle gems of the same type. These gems can be upgraded 255 times by fusing them with near-capped gems of the same type. For instance, one can fuse a rare +350 attack gem with a +120 attack and a +200 attack to get a +400 attack gem.

Name	Cap	Initial rare	Upgrade level	Levels by	Max level
Attack Stat Gem	200	250	≥ 100	50	13000
Magic Stat Gem	200	250	≥ 100	25	6625
Health Stat Gem	50	60	≥ 40	10	2610
Shield Stat Gem	60	75	≥ 40	25	6450

Square gems provide elemental attack bonuses to weapons. These gems can only be applied to weapons, and can have a 10x effect when applied to the Solar Transport Energy Blades.

Rare square gems can be made by fusing 3 capped (+400) elemental gems. These gems can be further upgraded by fusing 2 rare square gems to the initial rare.

Rare spectrum gems and rare darkfire gems are upgraded in a different way from other rare square gems. The spectrum gem can be fused by combining a +500 fire, +500 ice, and +500 water attack gem (in that order)

+

→

The darkfire gem can be fused by combining a +500 shock, +500 poison, and +500 wind attack gem (in that order)

+

→

Spectrum and darkfire gems can be upgraded to their rare variants by fusing three capped (+500) gems together to form a rare +1000 gem. These rare gems can be upgraded by fusing 2 +500 gems with the rare gem up to 255 times to obtain a +64750 gem.

A capped (+400) fire attack gem can be obtained by defeating Ryth.

Rare spectrum gem is 5000 on a solar trans blade

The Rare Spectrum Gem grants the user +500 spectrum damage, meaning that nothing except spectrum defense will block it, and bosses which have spectrum defense take 1/10 elemental damage. This can be counteracted by using a Solar Weapon due to the Attack Gem boost on all 3 Solar weapons. It sells for

500,000, but the combined cost of the nine gems needed to forge is

9,000,000 (the combined sell value being

4,500,000). Also, if you want to skip the forging time, you'll need

11,400,000.

Recipe[]

Forge together three +400 fire attack gems to produce a rare +500 fire attack gem.
Forge together three +400 water attack gems to produce a rare +500 water attack gem.
Forge together three +400 ice attack gems to produce a rare +500 ice attack gem.
This should produce three which should be forged together in this order: Fire - Ice - Water
This will make a +500 rare spectrum gem.
Forging three +500 rare spectrum gems will make a +1000 rare spectrum gem.
The rare spectrum gem can be upgraded with two +500 rare spectrum gems. The static will increase 250 each time until reaching its cap value which is +64750.

Notes[]

When used in a solar transport energy blade, the beam changes colors.

If it is put in a normal weapon, the hit effect is similar to that of the Lady Finger. When it stabs, it has the Infinity Blade's stab effect.

It will not work if the fire, ice and water gems are not rare +500 gems or they were put in the wrong order. If so, the resulting gem will not be a Spectrum.

If 3 Rare Spectrum Gems are forged, the result is a Rare Spectrum Gem with +1000 damage, or 10000 damage on a solar-trans blade (right). The forging of the resulting plus +1000 gem with two subsequent +500 gems results in another +250 per forge (eg. 1000+500+500 >> 1250)(bottom-right).

Both the Rare Spectrum Gem and the Rare Darkfire Gem have a 10% successful effectiveness against bosses with Spectrum defense. The Solar Transport Energy Blades provide damage amplification that helps counteract this, rendering them very effective against the Deathless for +1000 Spectrum or Darkfire gem.

The Rare Darkfire Gem is created by fusing together Rare Shock, Poison, and Wind attack gems and grants +500 spectrum attack, but the combined cost of the nine gems needed to forge it is $9,000,000.

Recipe[]

Forge together three +400 shock attack gems
Forge together three +400 poison attack gems
Forge together three +400 wind attack gems
You should now have three +500 rare elemental attack gems. Forge them together in this order: Shock - Poison - Wind

Notes[]

When used in Solar Transport Energy Blades, the beam looks similar to the wind element, but with hints of dark.

If 3 Darkfire Gems are forged, the result is a Rare Darkfire Gem with +1,000 damage, or 10,000 damage on a solar-trans blade. The forging of the resulting plus +1,000 gem with two subsequent +500 gems results in another +250 per forge (I.e. 1,000+500+500 = 1,250).

The Darkfire gem may continue to be upgraded, up to +10,000 damage, like the Spectrum gem.

It will not work if the shock, poison and wind gems are not rare. If so, the end gem will not be a Darkfire.

Both the Rare Spectrum Gem and the Rare Darkfire gem have a 10% successful effectiveness against bosses. The Solar Transport Energy Blades pin this perfectly, rendering them very effective against the deathless for +1,000 spectrum or darkfire gems.

If it is put in a normal weapon, the color of the slashes is yellow and blue. When it stabs, it has the Infinity Blade's stab animation.

This +1000 spectrum gem can be upgraded by +250 by forging it with 2 +500 spectrum gems.
- This can be done up to 255 times for a +64750 spectrum gem.

Darkfire Gem[]

Forge 3 capped (+400) shock gems together to get a rare +500 shock gem.
Forge 3 capped (+400) poison gems together to get a rare +500 poison gem.
Forge 3 capped (+400) wind gems together to get a rare +500 wind gem
Forge the shock, poison, and wind gems together (in that order) to get a +500 darkfire gem.
Forge 3 +500 darkfire gems to get a rare +1000 darkfire gem.
This +1000 darkfire gem can be upgraded by +250 by forging it with 2 +500 darkfire gems.
- This can be done up to 255 times for a +64750 darkfire gem.

These gems are best applied to Solar Transport Energy Blades.

Triangle gems provide combat bonuses such as health on parry. These can only be on rings and weapons.

Combining three 'Drop Item' gems of a higher levels, would create Hexagonal 'Bonus Rare+' gem, with maximum value of 25%.

The rare defense gem resists every element and can be crafted using six of the eight other defense gems.

In the following order:

fire defence gem + ice defence gem + + water defense gem = crafted light defense gem

+

→

In the following order:

shock defense gem + poison defense gem + wind defence gem = crafted dark defense gem

+

→

In the following order:

crafted light defense gem + crafted dark defense gem + any hexagon gem = rare defense gem (previously crafted gems must be used (it benefits to not have similar non-crafted versions in the gem inventory))

+

→

Upon obtaining the rare defense gem, the "Solar Fusion" achievement is unlocked.

If three Rare Defense Gems are forged together, the result will be a Rare XP Gem.

Hexagon gems are a special kind of gem which grants unique bonuses. Only two gems can be equipped at a time: one from Armor, another from any of the Gem rings. Hexagon gems can be upgraded by fusing 3 of the same type together to get a higher level gem. This can be done multiple times to acquire a capped gem. However, Perfect Parry Stun 3s, Titan Break, and Rare XP gems cannot be fused.

Titan Break

Titan break gems increase the window for attacking a titan when executing a break. Each level increases the break time by 1 second for supers and parry breaks, but increases the number of hits by 1 for dodge and block breaks. Caps at +2.^{[verification needed]}

Light weapon gems provide bonuses to light weapons.

Name	Function	Cap
Light Health Gem	On 5Combo Get x Health	2500
Light Titan Speed Gem	Titan Speed 90%	-
Light Titan Speed Gem	Titan Speed 80%	-
Light Combo Gem	On 5Combo, Continue Combo	-
Light Block All Gem	On 4Combo, Block All Attacks	-
Light Gold Gem	On 4Combo Get x Gold	125

After executing a 5 hit combo (Direction 1, opposite direction 1, direction 2, opposite direction 2, direction 1 or 2, e.g. up, down, left, right, left), every hit becomes a 5 hit combo. This makes lights better for raw damage output than duals after 9 hits per break.

5cc gems do not appear in the shop and rarely drop from gem wheels. The best known method of obtaining a 5cc gem is to equip a Gem Drop+ gem and fight titans/open chests.

Heavy weapon gems provide bonuses to heavy weapons.

Name	Function	Cap
Heavy Damage Titan Gem	On Block Damage Titan x	1000

The Dual Parry All Attacks Gem is a special gem which gives the ability to parry any attack including shield bashes and monstrosity claw attacks. It is very rarely dropped as loot from chests or Titans, and can be rewarded from Rare Gem Wheels.

It does not have a definite recipe and is created randomly. If you want to attempt forge one, however, try this combination: On Parry get XP ($500,000 value), On Stab get Gold ($500,000 value), and On Magic Titan Break +1 ($125,000 value), or, On Stab get Gold ($500,000 value), On Parry get XP ($4xx,xxx value), and On Magic get XP ($125,000 value), both in their respective orders.
