Generally one of the best gems out there and universally good, there is literally no place that you would not benefit from an increase in Global ATK. If you need more attack, then you should use the gem. Even if you do not feel like you need more damage, you will still benefit from an increase in damage, so you should run this gem 90% of the time. Global ATK % is not to be confused with the much more inferior ATK%.
Normal ATK boosts basic, combo, counter damage, which is a small portion of our overall damage.
Decent if you're running Leo/Raph. Otherwise pretty bad.
Many consider this one of the worst gems that you can get; however, there are some conditions that you must fulfill if you want this gem to be really good. You must either be running Blade of Justice or Helos Warblade or be an extremely new player to the point where skill damage isn’t the majority of your damage. If you do not fulfill either of these conditions, then the gem won’t be that good for you.
Good if you're running Raphael. Decent if you're running Leo. Otherwise pretty bad
For the vast majority of players, this gem will be highly irrelevant; however, if you’re running Helos Warblade, then this is probably one of the best gem that you can get, as it vastly increases your combo damage, which is one of your primary sources of damage. If you run Helos Warblade, you should have it slotted almost all the time, as it just acts as another consistent damage boost. If you’re not running Helos Warblade, then the gem practically does nothing.
Only good if you need a CP boost to pass a guild's joining threshold.
Good if one of your primary sources of damage is counterattacking, which it is for most counter weapons. Note that you shouldn’t really run this gem if you don’t have a high counterattack rate or deal a vast majority of your damage from counterattacking. Skills that spawn from the counterattack do not count as counterattack damage, so do not mix that up.
Roughly 50% of our total damage is Physical from Sword Chi.
Daggers are usually one of the main sources of our damage.
A lot of you are confused about what physical damage itself is, and to say how good this gem is, we first must know what physical damage is. Physical damage is damage from daggers, sword aura, and light spears, so if any of your primary sources of damage (or even a good chunk of your damage) is from those three, then this gem is going to be good for you. You can check the Skills database on this website to view all the skills tagged Physical.
Sometimes good when Guild Boss or Seal battle has lots of lightning skills.
It's decent in PvE if you have lightning skills like bolt dagger and aren't capped in DMG%. Useless in PvP because we don't build lightning for that.
If you spawn a lot of lightning on your build, whether it be through lightning daggers, judgement rings, or the basic summoning of lightning bolts itself, this gem will be good for you. If not, then it won’t be that good for you. For example, this gem is really good on weapons like Whisperer or Reaper Staff, but nothing amazing for a weapon like Durian or Skysplitter.
Only decent if you are running mythic rogue, which you shouldn't in PvP.
Not really that good for any build; however, it can be pretty decent for builds like Sharp Rogue + Skyflame Whisperer or Star Staff. Note that it isn’t really that good and doesn’t have many uses.
While we are not sure what exactly Explosion DMG is, this gem is only relevant for skills in Abyss that deal this type of DMG. For bosses where this DMG can be helpful, you can use this, but only if you lack anything better.
Final damage is a separate multiplier on your total damage, and almost always better than Global ATK.
Great DMG boost all around.
One of the best gem in the game, similar to Global ATK, you will almost never not need more damage, so you should almost always run this gem. Final DMG is applied after all other forms of DMG.
DoT is generally bad. Niche use if you need DoT to last longer to trigger other skills.
DoT damage is negligible, and Elres + Mythic Joker can easily keep enemies permanently burned or poisoned.
Not really that strong; for most damage over time builds like Star Staff or Shadow Lance, you can consistently apply the damage over time effect and be capable of replenishing it to max stacks. You should almost never nerf your main form of damage if you are capable of consistently outputting damage; for other weapons, it isn’t much to think about, and you shouldn’t really use them—they aren’t that great.
Excellent against Guild bosses/Seal Battle, and Chp 200+ story bosses; essentially +35% to [%DmgModifiers] for everything.
Excellent against bosses, especially if you aren't capped. PvP opponents unfortunately don't count as bosses.
Good in general if you know you’re going to fight a boss, like in Chapters or in Seal Battle/Guild Raid; if you’re curious about what counts as a boss, you can know just by seeing if it dies to Frozen Touch or not. Elite enemies are considered bosses.

This gem halves all of a player's combined Damage Reduction, i.e. [Skill DMG Reduction]/[Basic Attack DMG Reduction] + [Damage Reduction]; which makes it one of the best gems in the entire game for PvP and for PvE scenarios where monsters may have damage reduction.

Worse if close to capGood for tanky builds in PVP, F-Tier if capped.
Good in PvE if you aren't capped; otherwise it's useless. In PvP it's a decent overall DMG boost for counteracting opponents' DR.
Really good gem, as it's just a consistent damage increase; however, you should only use it if you have it at least at legendary rarity; otherwise, you’ll have a high chance of losing damage when you use it. If you're capped on the [%DmgModifiers] bracket in, then this gem is considerably worse for you as you will not fluctuate upwards and will only experience a damage loss. This gem effects the [%DmgModifiers] bracket, not [FinalDmg] or [GlobalDmg], so it is not that great.
Amazing if you're using Raphael with mythic vulture and twin blades. Still good if you're running Leo. Otherwise it's just ok.
Best in slot if your primary source of damage is normal attacks, i.e., Blade of Justice/Helos Warblade; however, even if you're not a Helos Warblade/Blade of Justice user, this gem is still one of the best gems in the entire game due to the fact that it doubles the damage of anything that takes Normal ATK damage; therefore, if you have a sizeable chunk of damage from Gagarin's basic attacks/Leonardo's basic attacks on Whisperer, a good amount of damage from Ailoren's Breath on Ailoren Sword, or a good amount of damage from normal attacks on any weapon, then it is an insane damage increase that will nearly double your damage output for that specific category. This is because the gem does not effect itself by merely adding to the current [damage calculations], it doubles the final damage that you output.
Useable in PVP FOR SKYSPLITTER ONLY (not Ailoren).
Only good if you need a CP boost to pass a guild's joining threshold.
Not as bad as some people say, it’s generally pretty good and not useless; however, if you do not have a mythical skysplitter, it’s worthless. Use it if you don’t have anything better and you have a mythical skysplitter. This is also more suited towards those who aren’t late game SS-wise, as the Sword Qi damage becomes negligible as you acquire other sources of damage. This gem does not work if you have Blood Shadow-Ailoren Sword, it only works on the regular version of skysplitter.
Very good in raid/seal and decent vs shielded or mounted enemies.
Great against bosses if you aren't capped in DMG% and for bypassing opponents' DR in PvP.
Generally good; however, it’s exceptionally good if you’re going to fight a boss that has a ridiculously high amount of health, like the Tier 30 Two-Headed Bird, the Seal Boss, or any event bosses like the one in the TMNT Crossover event.

Must have for rage builds. Synergizes with legendary and mythic Joker brand. Ailoren does crazy rage damage. Theoretical highest SS damage build.
Necessary for Elres to rage once per turn without rage gain skills. If you don't have this gem then it's potentially a downgrade from S whisperer in some situations. Therefore it's essential for PvP, but in many PvE modes you can easily just pick up rage dagger. The dagger DMG boost is also a nice bonus.
Really good if you’re a Whisperer user or any weapon that utilizes daggers or any weapon in general that will benefit from increased rage with some sort of method to throw any amount of daggers. If you’re a Whisperer user, you should use this gem all the time, and if you’re not, the gem will be really good for you still as long as you have some sort of method to consistently throw daggers, i.e., the Zhanxian Flying Knife deployment skill or the Fantasy Joker brand. Best in slot for whisperer users and skysplitter users who are using fantasy joker, considerably increases your rage generation and provides an insane damage boost.

Niche use against PvE enemies with counter rate. Decent against counter builds in PvP but the issue is that we don't build for spamming lightning.
Not bad if you know you’re going to fight a target that has counterattacks primarily, like a Durian/Mushroom Hammer user or any sort of monster that has a high counterattack rate.

Decent if you still need a shield for survivability and you can consistently activate light spears; if not, it’s pretty worthless. This gem works with the Holy Spear Decree skill.

We don't build for counter but it's usable if you have sources of counter %.
Excellent in PvE whenever there are multiple enemies to give you chances to counter, such as in hardmode chapters, but useless if you can't counter. In PvP it's decent outside of endgame if you build counter rate and opponents don't have too much ignore counter rate.
Best in slot for counterattack based builds and players, can be utilized even if you are not maining a counterattack weapon; however, there are better alternatives to use in the weapon slot if you do not have high counterattack rate.

Insanely good in Dungeon Dive, PVP, Gulu. Usable in Story, Hard Mode and Abyss. Not recommended in Guild boss or Seal.
Excellent in short or skill disabled fights and easily among the best gems for PvP as it both significantly boosts your damage while reducing the damage you take in the first 5 rounds. Not good for extended fights in which you rely on ATK scaling across 10+ rounds for damage.
Best in slot because of [how damage is calculated]. Since it acts as its own multiplicative bracket, it considerably increases your attack power, and even at lower rarities like legendary, the gem itself is borderline equivalent to tyrant's attack power boost on its own. Late game enemies have so much ATK, that you'll always cap out on the gem's max ATK gained. The gem has a unique positive interaction in battles with multiple waves of enemies: if the first enemy is killed within 5 rounds, you'll get a permanent attack buff that follows you through the entire wave past 5 rounds.
Just an increase in health; if you need health, then use it. Swap it out if you want to for another damage-increasing gem for scenarios where you take no damage, like certain event bosses or Seal Battle.
Higher tier if you need speed, lower if you don't .
In PvE only useful early to mid game for outspeeding in modes such as tower. Useless in PvE after that because you'll always outspeed. Always excellent in PvP for outspeeding opponents.
One of the best gems. Universally applicable to all scenarios where you may need speed; however, if your speed is a lot faster than the enemies’, then you can swap it out for another damage-increasing gem.
S tier if it helps you tank an extra hit, lower if not.
Excellent for survivability.
One of the best gems to go for if you need reduction. This type of reduction is calculated after all other reductions have been applied, just before damage is applied to your HP.
Great early/mid game if you need more BDR to reach the DR caps without building any on pets. After that it's useless.
Use it if you are lacking Basic Attack DMG Reduction for your build or whatever the cap is. Generally pretty good, but the gem itself is useless if you already have max Basic Attack DMG Reduction for whatever you’re doing.
Borderline useless in PvE because very few enemies combo and you can easily reach the DR cap without it. Great in PvP against Helos/Twin Blades users which make up a sizeable fraction of the PvP pool.
Not that good since it only applies to the damage that comes from a combo attack itself, not the skills that are born from that combo attack, or anything of the sort. It’s decent if you intend to specifically fight a Blade of Justice user; however, if you’re not, the gem is pretty bad.
Borderline useless in PvE because very few enemies counter and you can easily reach the DR cap without it. Great in PvP against counter builds which make up only a small fraction of the PvP pool.
Pretty good for fighting other players since you’re able to reduce the damage that Knight of the End deals to you as he deals counter damage, and he deals a lot of it. So if you know that someone’s Knight of the End is going to deal a lot of damage to you, then you can run this gem to reduce the amount of damage you’re going to take from it.
Niche vs physical DMG enemies (Sword Chi, Dagger, Light Spear etc). Better to build SDR.
Borderline useless in PvE because very few enemies deal physical damage and you can easily reach the DR cap without it. Great in PvP against Ailoren and Elres users which make up a large fraction of the PvP pool.
Decently good against most Skysplitter & Whisperer users due to most of their damage being innately physical attacks, so if you want to fight those specific users, then you can slot this gem to slightly decrease the amount of damage you’ll take from their sword chi and daggers, respectively.
Borderline useless in PvE because very few enemies deal lightning damage and you can easily reach the DR cap without it. Great in PvP against Nashir users only.
It’s good for fighting against most players since almost everyone runs Judgement Ring or Reaper Staff, so if you’re wanting to fight against them, you can slot this gem in. It is also decently good for certain scenarios in PvE, like when you’re fighting the second wave of enemies on XX6 chapters where the blue knight spawns in the tiny lightning bolt.
Borderline useless in PvE because very few enemies deal fire damage and you can easily reach the DR cap without it. Great in PvP against star staff users only but they are rare.
Not good. Fire damage is not in the meta and there are very few fire users in PVP.
Useful if enemy counters a lot, as you'll be subject to a lot of counters given your combo count.
Useful in PvE against all enemies that counter, which are actually not that uncommon these days. In PvE it is extremely good against any counter build and still useful against other opponents for preventing random counters.
Decently good for fighting against specific players who are reliant on the counter rate to output their damage, use it if you want to specifically fight against one of those players. These players would be Durian/Mushroom Hammer users, Shadow Lance users, or anyone whose build revolves primarily around counter rate.
Good for PVP, useless for PVE if you have enough combo rate.
Borderline useless in PvE because very few enemies combo. In PvE it is extremely good against any combo build, particularly in late game when you can stacks lots of ignore combo rate.
Insanely good for fighting against specific players who are reliant on the combo rate to output their damage, use it if you want to specifically fight against one of those players. These players would be Whisperer, Helos Warblade/Blade of Justice, and Skysplitter users, or anyone whose build revolves primarily around combo rate. If you stack up multiple of these gems, you will destroy anyone who does not have high enough combo rate to counter you.
Borderline useless in PvE because very few enemies crit. In PvE it is extremely good for survivability, particularly in late game when you can stack lots of ignore crit rate.
Insanely good for PvP in general, use it all the time under the condition that you can gather more sources of ignore crit rate to reduce your opponent's critical rate to a small margin. If you stack up multiple of these gems, you will destroy anyone who does not have high enough crit rate to even deal enough damage to tickle you.
Good for PvP if you can stack multiple of them; good for Hard Mode where enemies can CC you.
In PvE you're better off running the immune to first 2 instances of control gem. In PvP it is good late game when you can stack lots of control immunity, however before then it's not very useful as you won't be able to build enough for counteracting opponents' ignore control immunity.
Many mistake this for its popular counterpart, Ignore Control Immunity; this gem isn’t that good unless you just want to use it for PvP, and even then, it isn’t that great since many players have high Ignore Control Immunity, so unless you stack up multiple of these gems, they won't really do anything major; however, it has viable usage in PvP as long as you have a lot of them.
All end game enemies have high control immunity, so this helps. Also increase your stun/freeze chance in PvP
Massively helpful for bypassing enemy control immunity in PvE, but it is competing with several other excellent armor gems for slots. Not that great in PvP outside of endgame because until then opponents have low control immunity.
One of the best gems in the game, if you run an icy bubble, you should use this gem. All end game enemies have high control immunity, so this helps with CC-ing them, not universally good since other gems that provide a better damage boost can be used in favor of this gem; however, still very good if you're early game and don't have a lot of freeze chance. Also increase freeze chance in PvP
The most important game changing gem. If you can only reroll a single gem, reroll for this. More hits = more chance proc on-hit effects like cc, damage scaling, DoT, etc.
The best gem for PvE. Massively boosts your damage, especially with combo mastery, and gives you another chance each round to proc stun/freeze. In PvP it's not as good because Elres can't very consistently combo unlike Helos and Ailoren. In late game PvP it's best to use another gem because opponents have too much ignore combo rate.
One of the most desirable gems in the game. Adds to your max combo count. The decrease in combo damage is not that significant for the vast majority of builds even if your primary source of damage is combo damage or basic attacks (i.e. you're using Helos Warblade/Blade of Justice), the reason this is because the negative combo damage effects the [%DmgModifiers] bracket of [damage calculations], which is heavily supplemented by pet builds and other effects, so the reduction is minimal. This gem is one of the best and should be utilized by almost every build.
Daggers are usually one of the main sources of our damage and since their base coefficient is only 45%, this is a significant damage boost to daggers.
Good if you’re a Whisperer user; if you’re not, it’s not that good unless you are also capable of throwing a lot of daggers like Whisperer users.
Amazing when you get tons of bolt spam skills in PvE, which happens often in guild boss/seal battle. Borderline useless otherwise.
This gem is decent if you’re a Reaper Staff user or a Whisperer user since they both throw a lot of lightning; note that if you’re a Whisperer user, you should only use this gem in modes that you can get skills since you’ll be reliant on the lightning dagger. It can also be very good for whisperer users under the condition that lightning charge appears as a skill and you have other supplementation like multiple bolt; however, if you don't have these skills, it's not that great.
We don't build light spears outside of a potential endgame whale PvP build, so it's almost always useless.
The laser gun is a light spear as far as I know, so it’s generally pretty useless or will only provide you with a minimal damage increase unless you can throw a lot of light spears.
Good if your build is something that is reliant on counterattack damage itself for the vast majority of your damage; if your build is not something like that, then it’ll be pretty useless.
Best in slot for rage dagger build, because it increases rage DMG multiplicatively.
Excellent in PvE, particularly since you have the potential to rage loop. In PvP it's still really good.
S-Tier for most players that have a sizeable chunk of damage from their rage attack since it is multiplicative to all damage that your rage attack deals. This is especially best in slot for whisperer users and ailoren sword users who are utilizing their rage generation build as it massively increases the amount of damage you output on a rage attack.

FDR in PvP is good, also prevents mount from taking insane amounts of damage from an artifact. Insanely useful in Dungeon Dive.
The best gem for tower, temple of tides, and dungeon dive. In chapters and gulu it is not as useful as before because it's now almost always possible to tank. In PvP the final damage reduction is still good.
This gem is beyond crazy for PvE. It is also useful outside of PvE, where you might need to tank a hit that you would otherwise not survive. In later chapters where monsters deal upwards of 10x your health every attack, this gem is one of the only ways to survive. Keep in mind, it’s the first instance of damage, don’t expect it to last a whole turn. However, if you have consistently high freeze rates, whether that be through Ghost Princess, Ignore Control Immunity gems, or Icy Bubbles, then you can make that immunity to the first instance of damage last for almost the entire fight.

Excellent in PVP and stages in Hard Mode where enemies cc you often.
Niche use in PvE against enemies that CC, but preferably you can just perma CC them. In PvP it is extremely useful in preventing you from being frozen via elsa or ice fox or otherwise being CC locked right away.
This is a good gem for PvP and for Abyss, not so much outside of these places. Prevents you from potentially being frozen/stunned/paralyzed.
Great against bosses if you aren't capped in DMG% and for bypassing opponents' DR in PvP.
Generally good; however, it’s exceptionally good if you’re going to fight a boss that has a ridiculously high amount of health, like the Tier 30 Two-Headed Bird, the Seal Boss, or any event bosses like the one in the TMNT Crossover event.

Only good in content where you can get enough skills.
One of the best damage boosting gems for PvE. Useless in PvP because we don't get to choose skills.
This gem is good for anywhere you pick a skill (Chapters, Dungeon Dive, Guild Raid/Seal Battle, and Abyss). Nice damage increase, but don’t use outside of these areas.
Should be using either Raphael or Leonardo to benefit with increased chance of stun.
Great for PvE as it allows you to not run icy bubble in most cases. Great for CC chaining in PvP especially since ice guard now exists.
This gem is good onlyif you're using an adventurer like Raphael or Leonardo that increases the CC chance for stun from this gem and from pig smash; however, if you're not using those adventurers, you can still benefit from this gem as long as its paired with other stun chances, you see it shine the most especially when paired with Piggy’s synergy ability. It is adding to your ability to stun targets, which you can benefit from like you would freeze. This applies to PvP situations as well.
Only useful early game Or very late game niche pvp.
The amount of healing you get in PvE is poor relative to accessible sources such as the lifesteal or healing dagger skills. In PvP it's great if you are tanky.
This gem is really strong, and most players will benefit from this usage due to the fact that it essentially acts as a pseudo-Dragon Breath Armor; note that if you have already removed your damage reductions in favor of skill damage or other sources of damage, then this gem will be highly irrelevant, as the damage you take will be a lot larger than the total amount of health that you have; however, if you have not, or even if you have, as long as the damage you take does not one-shot you per turn, then this gem will be very strong.

Ok for PvE survivability, but it's better to just run the immune to the first 2 instances of DMG gem. In PvE it's pretty helpful for preventing enemies from bursting you down right away.
A really good gem for the vast majority of players as long as the shield it gives you provides a substantially large amount of sustainability; note that if you have already dropped your damage reductions in favor of skill damage or other sources of damage, then this gem will be highly irrelevant, as the damage you take will be a lot larger than the total amount of health that you have; however, this gem can still be very strong as long as you are not getting completely obliterated by a single attack.

Generally one of the best gems out there and universally good, there is literally no place that you would not benefit from an increase in Global ATK. If you need more attack, then you should use the gem. Even if you do not feel like you need more damage, you will still benefit from an increase in damage, so you should run this gem 90% of the time.
Normal ATK boosts basic, combo, counter damage; most of our damage is skill.
Decent if you're running Leo/Raph. Otherwise pretty bad.
Many consider this one of the worst gems that you can get; however, there are some conditions that you must fulfill if you want this gem to be really good. You must either be running Blade of Justice or Helos Warblade or be an extremely new player to the point where skill damage isn’t the majority of your damage. If you do not fulfill either of these conditions, then the gem won’t be that good for you.
Good if you're running Raphael. Decent if you're running Leo. Otherwise pretty bad
For the vast majority of players, this gem will be highly irrelevant; however, if you’re running Helos Warblade, then this is probably one of the best gems that you can get, as it vastly increases your combo damage, which is one of your primary sources of damage. If you run Helos Warblade, you should have it slotted almost all the time, as it just acts as another consistent damage boost. If you’re not running Helos Warblade, then the gem practically does nothing.
Only good if you need a CP boost to pass a guild's joining threshold.
Good if one of your primary sources of damage is counterattacking, which it is for most counter weapons. Note that you shouldn’t really run this gem if you don’t have a high counterattack rate or deal a vast majority of your damage from counterattacking. Skills that spawn from the counterattack do not count as counterattack damage, so do not mix that up.
Daggers are usually one of the main sources of our damage.
A lot of you are confused about what physical damage itself is, and to say how good this gem is, we first must know what physical damage is. Physical damage is damage from daggers, sword aura, and light spears, so if any of your primary sources of damage (or even a good chunk of your damage) is from those three, then this gem is going to be good for you.
It's decent in PvE if you have lightning skills like bolt dagger and aren't capped in DMG%. Useless in PvP because we don't build lightning for that.
If you spawn a lot of lightning on your build, whether it be through lightning daggers, judgement rings, or the basic summoning of lightning bolts itself, this gem will be good for you. If not, then it won’t be that good for you. For example, this gem is really good on weapons like Whisperer or Reaper Staff, but nothing amazing for a weapon like Durian or Skysplitter.
Only decent if you are running mythic rogue, which you shouldn't in PvP.
Not really that good for any build; however, it can be pretty decent for builds like Sharp Rogue + Skyflame Whisperer or Star Staff. Note that it isn’t really that good and doesn’t have many uses.
While we are not sure what exactly Explosion DMG is, this gem is only relevant for skills in Abyss that deal this type of DMG. For bosses where this DMG can be helpful, you can use this, but only if you lack anything better.
Not very useful in PvE if you use Leo/Raphael or once you have high crit rate on basic attacks except against enemies with high ignore crit which are common in hardmode chapters and gulu. Excellent in PvP to counteract opponents' ignore crit rate.
This gem is really good if your weapon is reliant on the damage output from critical attacks, i.e, Whisperer, Helos Warblade/Blade of Justice, Nomad Bow, or Ailoren Sword users utilizing Fantasy Joker rage generation build; however, if your weapon is not that reliant on weapon crit rate, then it wouldn’t be good at all. S-Tier if you're using Whisperer, Helos Warblade/Blade of Justice, or Nomad Bow in PvP, if you don't successfully crit against opponents with high ignore crit rate, then you won't deal any large sums of damage at all.
Not that good for most users; however, if your build is specifically catered to the application of damage through damage-over-time effects, then it would be good.
Only used for dagger builds. Good if under 100% rate crit in PVE, and you need over 100% in PVP. Can be used in PvP vs Ignore Crit Rate
Only useful in PvE outside of very late game against enemies with high ignore crit. Good in PvP to counteract opponents' ignore crit rate.
Not that good for most players at all since you can easily achieve 100% skill crit rate; however, if you do not have 100% skill crit rate and you’re a Whisperer user, then you should use it.
Only used for Sword Qi builds. Good if under 100% rate crit in PVE, and you need over 100% in PVP. Can be used in PvP vs Ignore Crit Rate
Useless because Elres doesn't build sword Chi. Even if you pick up basic attack sword chi in PvE, then it's still basically useless because it will only be a small part of your damage output and they will already almost always crit.
Not that good for most players at all since you can easily achieve 100% skill crit rate; however, if you do not have 100% skill crit rate and you’re a Skysplitter user or someone whose majority of their damage output comes from Sword Chi, then you should use it.
Only useful in PvE outside of very late game against enemies with high ignore crit and when you have skills for bolt spam. Useless in PvP because Elres doesn't build lightning for that.
Pretty useless; use it if you don’t have 100% skill crit rate.
Niche use if you can counter along with CC to stop enemies from using rage skill.
Great in PvE whenever there are multiple enemies or if you fail to CC. Gives you the opportunity to counter and delay attacks for a turn. If you have the skills for rage looping, countering gives you the opportunity to fill your rage bar for the next turn for drastically improved rage looping. In PvP it is great outside of end game before opponents have very high ignore counter rate.
If you need counter rate or the majority of your damage comes from counterattack or the skills that spawn from those attacks, then you can use the gem. This gem is pretty good regardless of what weapon you’re running unless you already have 120% counter rate to ensure every attack is a counterattack.
Great if under 100% combo rate in PVE, and you need more than 100% in PVP.
Excellent in PvE as it massively contributes to making dropping murloc possible. In PvP it is amazing for bypassing ignore combo rate until deep into late game when the strategy is to ditch combo.
If you need combo rate or the majority of your damage comes from a combo attack or the skills that spawn from those attacks, then you can use the gem. This gem is pretty good regardless of what weapon you’re running since in PvP you can end up fighting against players who have ridiculously high amounts of ignore combo rate and to guarantee combo attacks, this is one of the best sources.
Conditional, only useful against shielded enemies.
Niche in PvE because not a whole lot of enemies are shielded and you may be capped in DMG% regardless. Very useful in PvP as opponents are frequently shielded.
Only really useful in PvP scenarios where your opponent has shield, enemies in PvE most of the time don't have shield, and even if they do, there are better alternative rings that you can utilize.

Damage is negligible in PvE and in PvP while it's marginally useful when proc'd, we aren't applying more than 5 burn stacks in PvP for the most part.

S-Tier when using daggers and/or Joker brand, bad otherwise.
Easily among the best gems for Elres. Usually a massive damage boost. Even in the worst case scenario with lots of combo mastery/war veteran/holy decree stacks, it's still a sizeable damage boost.
One of the best gems in the entire game; this gem is an additive damage increase and is best in slot for any weapon utilizing daggers or using fantasy joker. Even if you do not use these two, as long as you have zhanxian's deployment skill, then this gem is very good.

Necessary for PvP against skill damage, niche in PVE.

Pretty good in early-mid game PvP, and still has uses later on to help you survive rage attacks in PvE; however, it becomes useless and even detrimental later on when skill shield provides no substantial survivability.

Rage Skill DMG is mediocre. This is not to be confused with the much better Rage DMG Coefficient.
Not great in PvE because you will usually silence on turns during which it won't matter. DMG boost for rage skill is not that significant even if you aren't already capped. In PvP it is more useful because opponents frequently rage when not CC locked.
Rage Skill DMG is mediocre, the damage provided by this gem is not multiplicative, merely additive to the [%DmgModifiers] bracket, and you can cap [%DmgModifiers] easily without the usage of this gem, rage silence is only slightly good for PvP and has niche usage against certain players and only if your build allows for it as well.

Works the same as final damage boost. Has condition to activate. Joker brand can burn enemy.
Essentially a permanent 20% final dmg. Easily one of the best damage boosting gems.
This gem is one of the best gems in the entire game for damage boosts. It works the same as a final damage boost due to the fact that it "ignores" their final damage reduction, but in reality, it just reduces their final damage reduction by the stated amount; therefore, if your opponent has no final damage reduction, then their final damage reduction goes into the negative and acts as a final damage boost. It is also easy to activate as long as you have any source of flame waves or poison on your build.
Good for lower chapters when you don't get 1 shot. And PVP
Good for survivability.
Just an increase in health; if you need health, then use it. Swap it out if you want to for another damage-increasing gem for scenarios where you take no damage, like certain event bosses or Seal Battle.
Higher tier if you need speed, lower if you don't .
In PvE only useful early to mid game for outspeeding in modes such as tower. Useless in PvE after that because you'll always outspeed. Always excellent in PvP for outspeeding opponents.
One of the best gems. Universally applicable to all scenarios where you may need speed; however, if your speed is a lot faster than the enemies’, then you can swap it out for another damage-increasing gem.
Great early/mid game if you need more BDR to reach the DR caps without building any on pets. After that it's useless.
Use it if you are lacking Basic Attack DMG Reduction for your build or whatever the cap is. Generally pretty good, but the gem itself is useless if you already have max Basic Attack DMG Reduction for whatever you’re doing.
Borderline useless in PvE because very few enemies combo and you can easily reach the DR cap without it. Great in PvP against Helos/Twin Blades users which make up a sizeable fraction of the PvP pool.
Not that good since it only applies to the damage that comes from a combo attack itself, not the skills that are born from that combo attack, or anything of the sort. It’s decent if you intend to specifically fight a Blade of Justice user; however, if you’re not, the gem is pretty bad.
Borderline useless in PvE because very few enemies counter and you can easily reach the DR cap without it. Great in PvP against counter builds which make up only a small fraction of the PvP pool.
Pretty good for fighting other players since you’re able to reduce the damage that Knight of the End deals to you as he deals counter damage, and he deals a lot of it. So if you know that someone’s Knight of the End is going to deal a lot of damage to you, then you can run this gem to reduce the amount of damage you’re going to take from it.
Niche vs physical DMG enemies (Sword Chi, Dagger, Light Spear etc). Better to build SDR
Borderline useless in PvE because very few enemies deal physical damage and you can easily reach the DR cap without it. Great in PvP against Ailoren and Elres users which make up a large fraction of the PvP pool.
Decently good against most Skysplitter & Whisperer users due to most of their damage being innately physical attacks, so if you want to fight those specific users, then you can slot this gem to slightly decrease the amount of damage you’ll take from their sword chi and daggers, respectively.
Borderline useless in PvE because very few enemies deal lightning damage and you can easily reach the DR cap without it. Great in PvP against Nashir users only.
It’s good for fighting against most players since almost everyone runs Judgement Ring or Reaper Staff, so if you’re wanting to fight against them, you can slot this gem in. It is also decently good for certain scenarios in PvE, like when you’re fighting the second wave of enemies on XX6 chapters where the blue knight spawns in the tiny lightning bolt.
Borderline useless in PvE because very few enemies deal fire damage and you can easily reach the DR cap without it. Great in PvP against star staff users only but they are rare.
Not good. Use it if an enemy is killing you through burn damage.
Useful in PvE against all enemies that counter, which are actually not that uncommon these days. In PvE it is extremely good against any counter build and still useful against other opponents for preventing random counters.
Decently good for fighting against specific players who are reliant on the counter rate to output their damage, use it if you want to specifically fight against one of those players. These players would be Durian/Mushroom Hammer users, Shadow Lance users, or anyone whose build revolves primarily around counter rate.
Good for PVP, useless for PVE if you have enough combo rate.
Borderline useless in PvE because very few enemies combo. In PvE it is extremely good against any combo build, particularly in late game when you can stack lots of ignore combo rate.
Insanely good for fighting against specific players who are reliant on the combo rate to output their damage, use it if you want to specifically fight against one of those players. These players would be Whisperer, Helos Warblade/Blade of Justice, and Skysplitter users, or anyone whose build revolves primarily around combo rate. If you stack up multiple of these gems, you will destroy anyone who does not have high enough combo rate to counter you.
Borderline useless in PvE because very few enemies crit. In PvE it is extremely good for survivability, particularly in late game when you can stack lots of ignore crit rate.
Insanely good for PvP in general, use it all the time under the condition that you can gather more sources of ignore crit rate to reduce your opponent's critical rate to a small margin. If you stack up multiple of these gems, you will destroy anyone who does not have high enough crit rate to even deal enough damage to tickle you.
Good for PvP if you can stack multiple of them; good for Hard Mode where enemies can CC you.
In PvE you're better off running the immune to first 2 instances of control gem. In PvP it is good late game when you can stack lots of control immunity, however before then it's not very useful as you won't be able to build enough for counteracting opponents' ignore control immunity.
Many mistake this for its popular counterpart, Ignore Control Immunity; this gem isn’t that good unless you just want to use it for PvP, and even then, it isn’t that great since many players have high Ignore Control Immunity, so unless you stack up multiple of these gems, they won't really do anything major; however, it has viable usage in PvP as long as you have a lot of them.
All end game enemies have high control immunity, so this helps. Also increase your stun/freeze chance in PvP
Massively helpful for bypassing enemy control immunity in PvE, but it is competing with several other excellent armor gems for slots. Not that great in PvP outside of endgame because until then opponents have low control immunity.
One of the best gems in the game, if you run an icy bubble, you should use this gem. All end game enemies have high control immunity, so this helps with CC-ing them, not universally good since other gems that provide a better damage boost can be used in favor of this gem; however, still very good if you're early game and don't have a lot of freeze chance. Also increase freeze chance in PvP
Mostly used in PVP, or in PVE if you know enemy has a lightning shield.
Niche in PvE because not a whole lot of enemies are shielded and you may be capped in DMG% regardless. Very useful in PvP as opponents are frequently shielded.
Almost everyone in PVP uses a starting shield gem, KOTE, or a skill shield. This is a solid damage boost, but goes away if the enemy doesn't have a shield. In PVE, it is effective against a small number of bosses that have shields or lightning shields.
Daggers are usually one of the main sources of our damage and since their base coefficient is only 45%, this is a significant damage boost to daggers.
Good if you’re a Whisperer user; if you’re not, it’s not that good unless you are also capable of throwing a lot of daggers like Whisperer users.
Amazing when you get tons of bolt spam skills in PvE, which happens often in guild boss/seal battle. Borderline useless otherwise.
This gem is decent if you’re a Reaper Staff user or a Whisperer user since they both throw a lot of lightning; note that if you’re a Whisperer user, you should only use this gem in modes that you can get skills since you’ll be reliant on the lightning dagger. It can also be very good for whisperer users under the condition that lightning charge appears as a skill and you have other supplementation like multiple bolt; however, if you don't have these skills, it's not that great.
We don't build light spears outside of a potential endgame whale PvP build, so it's almost always useless.
The laser gun is a light spear as far as I know, so it’s generally pretty useless or will only provide you with a minimal damage increase unless you can throw a lot of light spears.
Good if your build is something that is reliant on counterattack damage itself for the vast majority of your damage; if your build is not something like that, then it’ll be pretty useless.
Best in slot for builds that do a lot of rage dmg, because it increases rage DMG multiplicatively.
Excellent in PvE, particularly since you have the potential to rage loop. In PvP it's still really good.
S-Tier for most players that have a sizeable chunk of damage from their rage attack since it is multiplicative to all damage that your rage attack deals. This is especially best in slot for whisperer users and ailoren sword users who are utilizing their rage generation build as it massively increases the amount of damage you output on a rage attack.
Very good in raid/seal and decent vs shielded or mounted enemies.
Great against bosses if you aren't capped in DMG% and for bypassing opponents' DR in PvP.
Generally a universally good gem, as the gem itself is just a consistent damage increase. This gem particularly shines in scenarios where the enemy or opponent has insanely high amounts of health, like the Tier 30 Two-Headed Bird, Immortal Event Bosses, or the Seal Battle.

This gem is really good everywhere due to the fact that it is essentially equivalent to the legendary shrink spell; however, if you can't even take one hit regardless, then it isn't really that good at all. It can proc on every enemy on the field and the attack reduction cannot be blocked.
