Diamond Quality question

[SerOffline-Alot]

So, just got my first diamond and I am very excited, it looks quite good, but I would like to know on a scale of 1-5 of diamond goodness, where it places?

I'm so going for another one

Diamonds range from 0 caps to 3 caps, so yours is pretty good for a summoner or EV

My first one was a double cap as well, congrats!
Considering the chances of getting a Triple Cap and and meeting an Alien on a Tinder date are equal, I'd say yours is pretty much 4/5. The sides are bit low, but its good for Summoner / EV as mentioned above.

Im all ready to farm for another, Just gotta most of my buolders up from lvl 90-93 too 100. Any places you would reccommend? I have done TD a lot, and ToW seems very rewarding as well(got 7mill from a wave earlier), not sure what others are as speedy.

If you're farming for a diamond, bring your builders in on WW and level them there :)

Do Diamonds spawn only with the 4 hero Stats and 4 Tower Stats? or is it possible to get 4 hero stats + 2 Abilites and only 2 Tower Stats? because that would suck so much to work for 9hours just to end up with a DPS stat pet.

Nope. In all my stones farming this has never happened to me. There can spawn a dps diamond that can be used on lab assault tho.

Edit.. Meaning double cap on health and attack without ab1 or about 2.. Damn phone.

Diamonds will only:
- Spawn with Hero HP, Hero Speed, Hero Damage and Hero Cast Rate.
- Spawn with Tower HP, Tower Rate, Tower Damage and Tower Range.
- Hero Speed, in a later patch was capped at 460. Think it was 7.45 or 7.47, can't recall, very old. So it will not spawn over that for the Hero Speed stat. There might still be a pre-patch legit diamond out there with more than 460 Hero Speed stat at spawn.
- Also, not 100% sure of this, but from my diamond spawning experience and learning from others with their experience there is a lower stat ceiling for Diamond stats as well. I can't publicly divulge in the details(coz reasons!) but I've never seen any Diamond stat spawning below a certain number.

That's what sets it apart from pets like Animorphic Embers, which, while in theory can spawn better than Diamonds as they have a 825 spawn hard cap -- but the fact that they can also spawn with AB1 and AB2 makes Diamonds more "worth it", IMO, becasue you know it is always going to spawn with those 8 stats only.

Also Veetoo is correct, DPS Diamonds, or more appropriately "Lab Diamonds" were totally a thing prior to Moonbase(I'd guess, I wasn't active then). I've known plenty of people who did Lab Assault and had a dedicated Lab Diamond on their Jesters to speed up and get more hero stats, mainly HP. Usually throwing any non-cap Diamond would be good enough, but some went to the limit with it with capping Hero-HP and Damage!
Right now I guess Lab ToTs are better due to faster move speed and the ease of farming. And the fact that it can spawn with AB2, so that's a plus for Wheel Jesters on Lab.

there are a few pieces of info that nobody, except a select few, knows. Wouldn't want that getting out and having a wave of hacked Diamonds and Ult++ gear.
