Kinetic Gem

Kinetic Gems are a type of gem that can be socketed into cosmetic items to grant a variety of customizations to the hero equipping that item. Customized elements include model animations, ambient and ability effects, and ability icons. Kinetic gems are hero-specific.

Acquisition

 * Most Kinetic Gems come default on specific, newly acquired cosmetic items.
 * Some items acquired through the item drop system will not come with default gems.
 * If the gem is removed, that item loses any customizations bound to the gem.
 * Newer sets will come with an installed gem, which will randomly socket a set item with the gem when the bundle is opened.
 * Items sold on the Market are often stripped of gems.

Priority
Customizations may conflict when two or more Kinetic Gems are equipped. When this occurs, the following priority is followed:


 * Custom autoattack animations from gems stack. The hero will randomly select custom animations from all equipped gems.
