The most effective way to increase your guaranteed gems is through the Cross Duels ranked duels mode. This is one of the more difficult ways of obtaining guaranteed gems, as you may be unable to defeat your opponents and reap the rewards. Once your feet have been on the ground, you should make the most of the ranked duels.
The huge rewards come at the end of the season if you get ranked duels.
| Rank | Rank up bonus | Season rewards | Points needed for rank up |
| Rookie | 0 | ||
| Bronze two | 100 gems | 100 gems | 20 |
| Bronze one | 100 gems | 150 gems | 50 |
| Silver two | 200 gems | 90 | |
| Silver one | 100 gems | 250 gems | 150 |
| Gold three | 100 gems | 300 gems | 220 |
| Gold two | 100 gems | 350 gems | 300 |
| Gold one | 100 gems | 400 gems | 380 |
In raid duels, you can earn gems, just as you would in ranked duels, and the more you play, the more you can grab them. Throughout the season, you can boost your raid grade level from H to an A, and the higher your grade, the more gems you earn at the end of the season.
In the challenge duel menu, you can buy 50 Yu-Gi-Oh! Cross Duel gems (you can find this in the top-right corner of the screen). There are 400+ gems on offer for completing all of the challenge duels, and you may discover some new skills through the tutorials.
