How to unlock the Let's Heat Things Up! achievement in Street Fighter X Tekken - Definitive Guide

For this achievement you must activate a Boost Gem 100 times in battle over time. A Boost Gem comes in 5 different categories, here is the list of each different category as well as how some of them aid you in battle. While some may be pretty straight forward such as Attack and Defense others may confuse players on what exactly they do:

Attack: Increase attack power
Defense: Increase defense
Speed: Speed increases your characters jumping and movement speed, the speed gems do not alter things such as the start up frames of your moves
Cross Gauge: The Cross Gauge gems increase the amount of Cross Gauge you build during your attacks and can reduce the cost of your Super and Cross Arts by up to 40% depending on the gem you use.
Vitality: Vitality Gems can gradually increase your characters health during battle or give them a set amount right away depending on the gem you use.

Only 3 Gems can be equipped per character so that means you can activate 6 gems per match towards this achievement. Easy gems to activate are usually gems that require actions from you such as hitting your opponent a certain amount of times which is the Attack gems. Look at all the activation conditions and use the ones you feel more comfortable with yourself to activate more often. Keep in mind Assist Gems from "A Glimmering Light" will not count towards this achievement as they are Assist Gems and not Boost Gems. This will unlock after the match you activated your 100th Boost Gem on.

To check your progress for this achievement, go to Player Data at the main menu. Select Player Records and scroll down to see how many "Boost Gems Activated" you have to keep track.

If you want to get this one done fast make sure to equip your Characters with Gems that have activations that are easy for your play style.
If you are defensive use Gems with a Block X Times Activation
If you use lots of Specials a Gem with Hit With X Special Moves is probably better
There are other activations but those are just 2 examples.

With 2 Characters with 3 Gems a Piece you should be able to get 6 Activations per round. At that rate you should get it in a bit more over 16 rounds.

You can customize your gem units in the customization section of the menu's. Each gem has a different requirement for it to be activated. These criteria can range from landing a certain type of attack multiple times to blocking depending on what you have equipped. Characters have default gem set ups from the start and your chances of unlocking this at complete random while doing other things such as arcade playthroughs or mission mode are fairly high. If not, simply set up a gem that will activate often that compliments your style of play and it will simply be a matter of time.

Boost Gems fall into various categories - Red/Attack increase attack power, Green/Speed increase movement speed, Yellow/Defense increase defense, Blue/Onslaught increase meter gain. They are activated with varying requirements, but if you just use the default gem sets, you'll get this trophy easily without trying. The first default set of 3 attack gems activates 2 of them just with connecting with normal moves, so you could easily just stick to that set and be fine.

A Boost Gem comes in 5 different categories, here is the list of each different category as well as how some of them aid you in battle specifically. While some may be pretty straight forward such as Attack and Defense others may confuse players on what exactly they do.

 

Attack
Defense
Speed
Cross Gauge
Vitality

Attack and Defense
As their titles say that is all they are, they increase your Attack and Defense of the character using it.

Speed
Speed increases your characters jumping and movement speed, the speed gems do not alter things such as the start up frames of your moves.

Cross Gauge
The Cross Gauge gems increase the amount of Cross Gauge you build during your attacks and can reduce the cost of your Super and Cross Arts by up to 40% depending on the gem you us.

Vitality
Vitality Gems can gradually increase your characters health during battle or give them a set amount right away depending on the gem you use.

3 Gems can be equipped per character so that means you can activate 6 gems per match towards this trophy. Easy gems to activate are usually ones that require actions from you such as hitting your opponent a certain amount of times like the Attack gems. Look at all the activation conditions and use the ones you feel more comfortable with yourself to activate more often. Keep in mind that Assist Gems from "A Glimmering Light" will not count towards this trophy. You can keep track of your progress towards this trophy under "Player Data" in the main menu, select Player Records and it will display your overall progress.
