There's probably enough gems to buy everything if you started your game post Oct 17 according to the patch notes: store.steampowered.com/news/app/701160/view/4535779621889180443
I almost always stick with the griffin honestly. Its knockback is more effective fyi the closer you are to the greed (so be mindful of where the dog is when you use it). The giant slugs are (mostly) unaffected by the pushback but they can get a very small stun. And in all honesty, you really can't beat its reliability with being able to 'graze' anywhere at any time of year and the stable hermit and their farm 'upgrades' are kind of a waste of gems and coins in my opinion unless you really just like the aesthetic of the mounts. Only other mount I would consider is the chimera but really only if I'm advancing/angering the greed more quickly than what I'm able to handle with my current troops and wall upgrades(if that happens I'll sometimes commit yeet intentionally). I also avoid losing the dog at all costs because it just tears my heart hearing him cry as the greed take him away.
very useful vid. couldn't figure out what to do about the Pegasus Statue. My personal fave Combo is Cerberus and Athena Bow. That actually lets you solo easier portals and gives you a lot of very safe punching power
Hey One dragon I was wondering how you can obtain the cursed crown cosmetic. Do you just have to complete and obtain the cursed crown on all challenge islands? And if that's the case, would I get the cosmetic if I beat it all in singleplayer mode or do I have to get the cursed crown on co-op challenges too?
