In Pocket Cricket, gold is the core resource for refreshing skill card pools and upgrading heroes. However, many players often suffer from a lack of gold, which prevents them from obtaining key skill cards in time, leading to their lineup collapsing. So, I will share some strategies for refreshing with gold in Pocket Cricket. Sometimes, when we are pursuing high-level core cards, it's easy to blindly consume gold in the early stages, which can easily lead to an economic gap and directly cause a collapse in the later stages.

The core idea for acquiring gold is to prioritize stable income. In the first 3 rounds, focus on buying basic cards, ensuring consecutive wins through low-cost skills, and earning an additional 2-4 gold per round as a reward for consecutive wins. If your lineup isn't strong enough, you can switch to consecutive losses: keep your health above 40% in the first 8 rounds, using the rewards from consecutive losses (3 gold per round) and the comeback神器 (refreshed on the 8th round) to quickly accumulate economy. In the mid to late game, concentrate on refreshing purple cards. If you're playing a big move strategy, save up 50 gold during the losing streak, then refresh the card pool 10 times in one go on the 9th round, locking down key skills like the Spell Prism.

Often, players run out of gold due to blindly refreshing high-level card pools. For example, if you're playing a normal attack strategy and force a refresh of the purple card pool before reaching level 10, this leads to inefficient use of gold. In this case, focus on refreshing the blue card pool in rounds 1-5, aiming to get low-cost skills such as attack speed and base crit, to quickly form combat power. From rounds 6-10, gradually shift to the purple card pool based on the unlock status of your strategy, prioritizing skills that match your current strategy. For a poison damage strategy, after level 8, lock onto the Poison Purple Card, keeping at least 20 gold after each refresh to earn interest. In the high-level stage (after level 15), use chips (to increase the drop rate of purple cards) for targeted refreshes, avoiding ineffective consumption.

The artifact refreshes on the 3rd, 8th, and 13th rounds are turning points in the game. In the 3rd round, prioritize choosing shopping rebates (returning 1-2 gold for skill purchases) or shovels (increasing base income) to ensure economic snowballing. In the 8th round, definitely grab the divine chip to increase the probability of getting purple cards. In the 13th round, choose the Spider Web Cloak (immune to control) or Healing Potion (instant healing) based on your health, which would be an ideal state.

From early economic accumulation to precise refreshing in the later stages, mastering the gold refresh mechanism is all about balancing risk and reward. In lower ranks, focus on stable income, while in higher ranks, you need to balance restraint and burst. The choice between consecutive win/loss strategies, phased refreshing of card pools, and strategic investments in key rounds are all things to consider.
