Introduction and Summary
Hello! I'm 闇Mic. Welcome to the first Gem Count of 2026. This is January's Gem Report. Included is every gem you could earn in January from events and campaigns to log-in bonuses. There is a timeline to visualize dispersal and a count for UR and SR Dream Tickets as well as Box Chips.
I've compared the gem-pool to the content released and listed the resulting difference you would have to pay in real money just to keep up with the current cards at the often-necessary 3 UR copies. It shouldn't be a surprise that this month was more expensive than last month given the arrival of another Selection Box.
The amount of gems this January was a couple thousand more than last month, but a couple thousand less than the world-update month in September. Thanks to the 9th anniversary and Duelist Point, we got a total of 6 Dream Tickets this month (2UR & 4SR) which is considerably more than usual. And finally, we got an overdue level cap increase for GO RUSH!! world.
