Just when the mobile gaming industry seemed to hit a lull, FunPlus International shook things up last week with the launch of DC: Dark Legion™, an action-strategy RPG inspired by the DC universe. The game has hit the ground running, receiving enthusiastic feedback from players for its balanced approach to free-to-play (F2P) accessibility and pay-to-win (P2W) advantages. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore how F2P players can make the most of their spending in various currency stores, as well as how paying players can maximize their investment through microtransactions. Let's dive in!
Source Energy Gems – The Premium and Freemium Currency
In DC: Dark Legion™, Source Energy Gems, or simply Gems, serve as the game's premium and freemium currency. This unique feature allows both F2P and paying players to access and earn this currency, eliminating the exclusivity often seen in similar games with separate paid-only currencies. Players can accumulate Gems through various methods:

Empowered Legacy – This is the paid version of the battle pass, known as "Legacy". By completing special challenges and daily missions, players can earn experience to level up Legacy. Each level offers both a free and a premium reward. The premium version, priced at around $10, provides enticing rewards such as World Anvil fragments, Legacy pieces supply, AC/DC shards, and, of course, Gems.
Gift of the Source – A one-time purchase that permanently unlocks a second construction queue. Priced at a modest $2, this pack also grants you 120 Gems upon purchase, making it a cost-effective choice for players looking to enhance their gameplay experience.
Growth Funds – Another one-time deal costing approximately $20, Growth Funds reward players based on different in-game objectives achieved. The level of your War room directly influences the rewards you can receive. For each level, you can earn Gems, drones, intel, World Anvil fragments, cash, and more, providing a solid boost to your progression.
For an enhanced gaming experience, players can enjoy DC: Dark Legion™ on a larger screen using their PC or laptop with BlueStacks, complemented by the precision of a keyboard and mouse.
