Once the player unlocks [[Season 6]], the price per [[Season 7]] character roll drops to 3 time crystals. This value further decreases to 2 time crystals once the player has completed Season 6.

A time crystal is an in-game currency used in Doctor Who: Legacy.
Uses
Time crystals have a number of uses within the game.
Continue Level
When a player's HP is reduced to 0, the player can spend 1 time crystal to continue the given level. Doing so resets the player's HP, the gem board, and any countdown clock that may be part of the level. Enemy HP remains unaffected by the process.
Store
Character Roll
- see also: Character roll
Players can spend time crystals to unlock otherwise unavailable content, including characters and outfits, instead of waiting for them to randomly drop during the course of play. Typically, the costs of such transactions are as follows:
- individual character/outfit (random) = 4 time crystals (see below)
- individual character/outfit (non-random) = 6 time crystals
- character pack (4 characters, non-random) = 20 time crystals
The time crystal cost of a character roll decreases as the player gains access to later levels. For example, a Season 7 character roll costs 4 time crystals while the player is still restricted to that season. Once the player unlocks Season 6, the price per Season 7 character roll drops to 3 time crystals. This value further decreases to 2 time crystals once the player has completed Season 6. So far the cost of Season 6 character roll remain constant at 4 time crystals.
Specials
The crystals can also be used to buy specific characters, special character packs, or time fragments in the store. The cost for individual characters is always 5 crystals, while the cost for the character packs usually vary from 10 to 20 crystals (with exceptions like the Season 7 Mega Pack). The cost for a pack of 4 time fragments of one color is always 2 crystals, and the cost of a pack of 2 fragments of each color (12 fragments total) is 5 crystals.
Reset Points
At any time after a player has spent advancement points to increase a character's attributes, the player may spend 1 time crystal to reset these points. This returns the character to its base attributes, and allows the player to reallocate all available advancement points.
Instant Upgrade
When a character has reached maximum level for its rank, the player may opt to instantly upgrade that character to the next rank without expending any time fragments.
Obtaining Time Crystals
The surest way to obtain time crystals is to buy them from the in-app store. They are sold in bundles of 1, 6, 13, 27, and 70, and the cost per time crystal decreases the more purchased in a single transaction. A player that buys 6 or more Time Crystals in a single transaction gains access to the exclusive Fan Area.
Time crystals can be attained through standard game play as rare item drops. The chance of receiving a time crystal is higher in the Fan Area than in the main game. Also, some levels have 100% time crystals drop after being completed for the first time.
Alternatively, time crystals can, from time to time, be given by the game's developers as promotional items.
Time Crystal levels
The following is an (uncomplete) list of levels that obligatory drop Time Crystals after being completed for the first time. If you already completed the level but used your Cloud Saving Account in a second device, you will still get the crystals in that device if you play the level again.
| Season | Level | N. of crystals |

| 7 | Nightmare in Silver: Closed for Business | 1 |
