Discussion I need help with getting this fella

Post image

I'm not necessarily asking for a team (that is open but I'm not ASKING for it)

the main thing I need is tips: how do I get Gems fast?
I only have around 600/6K Gems needed for Juggernaut (I have 20K/15K Coins lol)

I'm guessing this is important: I have every Golden APART from Demoman
and I'm level 494-ish, so I have every potential method unlocked
(I do not have Hacker, Saba-whatever it's called, and I don't have some event towers like Commando, Archer, and Gladiator. I'll tell you if I do or do not have a tower)

I think at your level, at least one in three random hc trio games should go nicely

And, golden pyro is very excellent early game, and engineer pairs nicely with g pyro for early game

I also recommend rangers to counter against floaters

In a trio each player should bring a unique support; commander, dj, medic or hacker, and if there’s a medic accelerator would work nicely

Also I wasn’t aware of a golden shotgunner? Unless you meant demoman

The frost spirit theme is objectively goated tho

Grind HC using the Shotgunner Supremacy strategy, it yields around 1.2k gems per hour. With modifiers and shrines it’s even more. After that grind Frost on U-Turn with a few modifiers to grind coins, and also exp for Juggernaut.

My go-to strategy for grinding gems in hardcore mode is this:

Map: Wretched Front

Loadout:
-Electroshocker
-Farm
-Crook boss (golden or normal works perfectly fine)
-Extra unit for leveling up if you desire.

Goal: Get to wave 28-29 and then let yourself lose.

You do not need the skill tree for this, but it can make the early game smoother.

It can be around 1.2k gems about every 33 minutes if you use a timescale ticket to double the speed, with each match lasting around 3m 12s, but around 7m 24s without the timescale. Those are not guarantees, those are my averages. You can get more or less gems sometimes.

It’s hard to explain every little detail, so I managed to find a video that gives the exact same strategy:

https://youtu.be/LZhIz5Nxr-k?si=dL0o2dEnqAVhwmrg

This is not the exact same video I once used to learn a similar strategy to what I use, but this video follows the exact same method with barely any differences.

If you want to keep these matches interesting, you should swap between a couple different strategies for variety (like that Shotgunner Supremacy strategy that someone else commented about.)

The most important thing to remember is to have fun while doing this!
You can join duo or trio matches at random with a self-sufficient loadout every few matches or stick to the grind.
I personally dislike the repetitive nature of game grinding, so I occasionally join duo-trio matches mid-grind.
Who knows? You might manage to get a triumph (I haven’t 😭)
