Clearing Stage 5-30 unlocks Gem Resonance and Equipment Awakening. Try different gem colors to activate new effects, or awaken a piece of gear to make it stronger. If you’ve already cleared 5-30, the new guides will appear when you return to camp.

Gem Resonance

Each hero’s gems are counted across all their equipped items. Socket at least 6 gems of the same color to activate Level I Resonance for that color. At 12 and 18 gems of that color, you unlock Level II and Level III effects, respectively.

Red increases damage, blue gives the hero a chance to gain a shield when hit, and green focuses on healing and survival. For a balanced build, socket at least 6 gems of each color. You’ll gain Balanced Resonance alongside all three Level I effects, increasing Attack, Defense, and Max HP.

Open Codex → Gem Resonance to see the effects at each level and explore different combinations.

Equipment Awakening

Open Smithy → Awakening and choose a non-exclusive T6 tower item that hasn’t been awakened. It can be equipped or in your bag. For the sacrifice, select a Mythic item from your bag that matches the main item’s slot, type, and tier. The sacrifice must be unlocked and unawakened. Awakening costs 10 million gold and permanently consumes the sacrificed item when you confirm.

Awakening increases the main item’s base stats by 15% and preserves its enhancement, affixes, enchants, and gems. It also unlocks a fifth affix slot. The slot starts empty: open Artisan → Add Affix to fill it manually. The fifth affix cannot be reforged.

Open Codex → Awakening for the full requirements and instructions.
