The most profitable way of spending gems is not spending them at all. Obviously. The only thing you get for gems in this game is a different picture of a far fetched impractical and unwearable armour that would probably kill you before you even saw an enemy if you would wear it in real life.

And badly animated too. All you see move is a bunch of static pictures jump a bit. Useless and worthless.

Of course you can spend gems, but you should never spend money to buy them.

The least wasteful way of spending gems would be to use them where your strength is just insufficient. In a case like that can wait and work hard to be stronger next time. But you can also decide to spend gems.

For instance: I spent gems to reach level 15 against the Epic Boss the first time. The armour I got there made me so much stronger that after that I never had to spend gems there anymore. Not even remotely. I had only 2 stars at that time. I could have worked harder in the storyline to get 3 stars first and enhance them (or enhance the big four +'s) But instead I spent gems once. I think that was a good investment.

Nowadays I only spend gems to win level 60 of the Epic Boss if the armour I can get is favourable in my opinion. Tha tis a much less interesting investment, since that only gets me more of the same, and iwill never grow enough in strength to reach level 60 next time without spending gems.

I reached level 43 before the increase in stats of the Nian generation epic bosses. So I never had to spend gems to lever myself to legendary + level. Instead I could just gain enough strength and beat it. Now you will most probably need more than just non plus legendaries to reach level 43 of any Epic Boss. So you may need to use gems to reach that.

Both reaching level 15 to get your first Legendary and level 43 to get your first legendary + are milestone achievements that will get you in a higher game level. Both of those jumps you will probably have to force with gems at most only once. Once you reached it you can get strong enough to reach it again without additional gemming.

Spending gems on chests is never as good an investment. Simply because whatever the outcome you will never achieve a higher game level with it. Even if you get the strongest epic or the highest prize out of a chest, next time you will have to spend the same amount of gems again to open a chest.

Of course if you are getting bored and fed up with the game and you are approaching the maximum strength you can get without spending gems, like me, the last thing left will be spending gems on chests. Simply because there is nothing else to do with them and getting a high stat epic is the only thing that can help you further.
