# Protect Your Diamonds & Claim Free Rewards

## Step 5: Save Your Diamonds

Diamonds are valuable, especially for new players.

Avoid wasting them on things such as:

- Random chests
- Unnecessary timer speed-ups
- Purchases that provide little long-term value

Instead, consider saving your diamonds for higher-value opportunities such as:

- Guaranteed hero summons
- Important events such as **Lucky Discounter**
- VIP upgrades

**Patience pays off.**

Keeping a healthy diamond reserve gives you more options when valuable events and opportunities appear.

### Don't Forget Your Free Rewards

New players should also take advantage of available **Redeem Codes**.

You'll need your player **UID** when using the official Gift Center, so make sure you copy it correctly.
