When drafting in a Gem, you should always pay attention to the character that you’re using in your deck. Vampire Crawlers offer 21 characters to unlock and equip, and they have their unique strengths. Also, pay attention to the weapon combinations and evolutions since the effectiveness of a specific Gem will depend on your existing deck components.
