Recommended Unlock Order

1. Devastator (easiest requirement, just play normally) — great for farming

2. Mage (elemental damage comes naturally with fire/ice weapons)

3. Priest (cheapest gem cost, useful for co-op)

4. Paladin (tank playstyle is forgiving for learning boss patterns)

5. Assassin (no-damage boss kills require knowing patterns — do this after Paladin)

6. Sniper (headshot practice while you learn enemy movements)

7. Monk (fist-weapon-only run is genuinely challenging)

8. Berserker (Hard Mode completion — save for last)

Gem Farming

Gems drop from: daily challenges (50-100/day), boss first-kills (100 each), achievement milestones (200-500 each), and Hard Mode completion bonuses (300/act).

Fastest gem route: Beat each act boss for the first time (400 gems) + daily challenges for a week (500 gems) = enough for your first unlock character.
