That's why I beat the "use gems to increase your multiplier" drum so hard. If you want to hit the top tier in tournaments for rewards, almost every gem should be used on the multiplier until you achieve your goal.

The Gains Week event is the only option I've seen where spending gems on something besides directly on multiplier increases can make sense, from the perspective of trying to maximize the performance gained from them. That's only because it's a potential path to larger multiplier increases per gem spent. If you can usually follow the shuffle, you can make a lot more progress investing 700 gems in tickets than spending them directly on the multiplier.
I wish I had know that earlier, I probably have waster 150+ gems on double share x'D

For the event invested my gems directly by buying a tile when I knew where were 2x 5 tickets (when I was low on tickets), 5 tickets + best multiplier or 2x best multiplier since tickets were relatively easy to get and imho it's higher risk but also higher reward.

Tbh if the event is coming again next month and it's till possible to track the tiles I feel like saving my gems until then (assuming I'm still playing by then). And since I've gone past 15k levels in the tournament I'll get a lot of gems each week... this event was really the best in terms of gain
