Nova Crystals are one of the most valuable resources in Star Wars: Droid Tycoon. They are used to unlock permanent upgrades, exclusive features, and powerful bonuses that stay with your account even after resetting your progress. Because of their importance, many players want to know the fastest and most reliable ways to collect them.
What Are Nova Crystals?
Nova Crystals are a special currency found in Star Wars: Droid Tycoon. Unlike regular Credits, they are much harder to obtain and are mainly used inside the Nova Shop.
The upgrades purchased with Nova Crystals are permanent. This means you will keep them even after performing a Super Rebirth. Because of this, Nova Crystals are considered one of the most important long-term progression resources in the game.
Some rewards and upgrades available through Nova Crystals include:
- Permanent bonuses
- Additional slots
- Quality-of-life upgrades
- Faster progression
- Exclusive droid-related benefits
Complete Daily Missions
The easiest way to earn Nova Crystals is by completing Daily Missions.
Players can occasionally receive a Nova Crystal through certain daily objectives. Although this method is simple, it is also very slow. Since the reward is limited, relying only on daily tasks can take a long time if you are trying to unlock expensive upgrades.
Even so, daily missions should never be ignored because they provide a steady supply of crystals over time.
Use Super Rebirth
The primary way to farm Nova Crystals is through the Super Rebirth system.
Super Rebirth becomes available after reaching higher Rebirth levels. When you activate it, your progress resets, but you gain a number of Nova Crystals based on your current Rebirth level.
The higher your Rebirth level, the more crystals you receive.
Here are the current rewards:
- Rebirth 12 – 11 Nova Crystals
- Rebirth 13 – 16 Nova Crystals
- Rebirth 14 – 22 Nova Crystals
- Rebirth 15 – 29 Nova Crystals
- Rebirth 16 – 37 Nova Crystals
- Rebirth 17 – 46 Nova Crystals
- Rebirth 18 – 56 Nova Crystals
- Rebirth 19 – 67 Nova Crystals
- Rebirth 20 – 79 Nova Crystals
- Rebirth 21 – 92 Nova Crystals
- Rebirth 22 – 106 Nova Crystals
- Rebirth 23 – 121 Nova Crystals
Because of these rewards, most experienced players consider Super Rebirth the best source of Nova Crystals.
Do You Lose Your Crystal Upgrades?
No.
Many players hesitate to use Super Rebirth because they are worried about losing everything they have earned. Fortunately, Nova Crystals and the upgrades purchased with them are permanent.
After performing a Super Rebirth, you keep:
- Nova Crystals
- Nova Shop upgrades
- Cosmetics
- Droidex progress
- Other permanent unlocks
Only your normal progression resets. This allows players to become stronger with every cycle.
Spend Your Crystals Wisely
Since Nova Crystals are difficult to obtain, spending them carefully is extremely important.
Popular early purchases include:
- Credit bonuses
- Additional lounge slots
- Collect-all features
- Movement improvements
- Damage and health upgrades
- Blueprint-related upgrades
These upgrades help players progress faster and make future Super Rebirth runs much easier.
Saving crystals for expensive upgrades is often a smarter strategy than spending them immediately.
Should You Save For Higher Rebirth Levels?
Yes.
Although Super Rebirth is available starting at Rebirth 12, pushing further will give significantly larger rewards.
For example:
- Rebirth 12 gives 11 crystals.
- Rebirth 18 gives 56 crystals.
- Rebirth 23 gives 121 crystals.
Waiting until higher levels requires more effort, but the increased reward makes the grind more efficient. Players who can comfortably reach higher Rebirth levels will generally earn more value from each Super Rebirth.
