For those having problems getting Brilliants, to complete the hard badges, here's some tips: - You need 500 max mana and all of the ranks for casting Meteor. You need that 2k damage from casting 5 of them. (So you need the mana at that point as well) - You have 3 options for what towers to be at the "entrance" of the levels: AE ground effect Temples, Ballista Dens or Fear Crypts. - Combination of Fear Crypts + Ballista Dens works best for me. Also works really well for dealing with normal ninjas. - Due to the Ninja mechanics, in this game, it's best to have some damage up front (that attacks quick) then a 2nd layer of damage near the Gems. Having the "continuous field" of damage doesn't work well for getting Brilliants.

Advice for the Card: Select Ocean Wind. Buy a Dual Machine Gun. Use only the Dual Machine Gun until you have the second damage upgrade. Buy a Damage Booster. Anything that uses a balloon takes extra damage from hitting it. So just hold down the mouse button and point at what you want to kill.
