Diamonds are the most valuable resource in Downtown Mafia — and how you spend them can define your rise to power. Used strategically, they can multiply your efficiency, reduce downtime, and unlock elite rewards.
1. Invest in Mercenaries First
Mercenaries (or Mercs) are the best long-term investment. They enhance both attack and defense across every fight and war.
Buy Mercs from Big Jim’s Shop using Diamonds.
Prioritize unique or high-tier Mercs that offer stronger stat boosts.
Mercs stay with you even after resets, making them a permanent upgrade.
2. Buy Diamond Armory Gear
Diamond Armory items provide unmatched power and can turn the tide in PvP battles or gang wars.
Look for limited-time event weapons or gear — these often have special attributes like reduced upkeep or higher kill bonuses.
3. Save for Special Events
During major events or tournaments, Diamonds can be used to:
Instantly heal or refill stamina/energy
Speed up operations and training
Unlock exclusive reward tiers or loot crates
Saving at least 1,000–2,000 Diamonds for event weeks ensures you can make the most of reward multipliers.
4. Skip Unnecessary Refills
Avoid spending Diamonds on small stamina or energy refills during normal play. Use them strategically during wars, tournaments, or leaderboard pushes for maximum impact.
5. Account and Customization
If you have spare Diamonds, spend them on profile renames or account resets only when necessary. Gameplay upgrades should always come first.
Pro Tip:
Track upcoming events in chat or community announcements — using Diamonds during event bonuses doubles their value in progress and rewards.
Spend smart, plan ahead, and let your Diamonds work toward your long-term dominance.
