3. Don’t use Superpowers all the time
Superpowers in the basketball arena are something that comes in the category of rare things. No doubt, Superpowers in the game are great, but at the same time using them too much makes you weak. You should try harder to win the initial matches without using superpowers. Moreover, one of the poor things we found in this game is the concept behind Superpower consumption.
There are only a few superpowers one can use, which means if you have used all your superpower card. Then, you need gems or either chest to use more. It sometimes takes a lot of time to get Superpower cards in low-level chests. Because of this, one should avoid relying on superpower or special abilities. We have already mentioned a simple and easy to remember strategy to dominate your opponents in the arena.
4. Don’t miss the advertisements
Promotion? Nope, it is highly recommended to watch the in-game advertisements in your free time. Gems are the premium currency of the Basketball arena which makes it harder for most of the players to get gems from somewhere. But, this game offers gems and coins and chests for absolutely FREE.
In addition, sometimes if you are lucky enough, you can get a RARE chest box as a reward for watching advertisements. Yes, it’s true! Moreover, you can also connect your Facebook account with the game and get some gems for free. That is a considerable amount that can go towards getting a rare chest box.

Try collecting as many chests as possible by playing matches. Also, remember the higher your league, the better rewards you’ll get. You can only unlock new characters either by real money or get some from chest boxes. Tip: If you have enough time, you can watch the in-game advertisements too to get some cool stuff for free.
