You can buy booster packs when you are in chapter 1-2. Chapter 3 onwards they become ridiculously expensive. So unless you are one of those people who play 20 duels daily, avoid wasting your coins there.

Legendary equipment definitely starts of with the best stats but like you said yourself, it is difficult to upgrade if you are a free-to-play user. The easiest way to upgrade it will be via the daily store. That in turn will require ridiculously large amout of coins so start saving. In the longer run, it is better to invest in epic gear since that is easier to upgrade than legendary and has all its perks. Keep in mind that the game can be completed even with a set of all common equipment though.

In my opinion, gems should only be used for two things - buying perks/moves from shop and for converting them into coins for (again) buying things from shop. Don't waste gems buying weapon or armor since they are very expensive and get obsolete easily. Also don't spend them for opening chests or playing events.

Tip: Try collecting as many bonus cards as you can by watching advertisements. With a little luck you can get excellent things from them.
