Difference between revisions of "Shards"

Revision as of 22:24, 4 March 2017

Shards are gemlike artifacts that slot into your Relics, Armor and Weapons. Shards replaced Skill Spheres system and item Passives (while some items with unique passives still drop but have only one shard slot). Shards give your hero or your defenses extra stats or abilities, all green shards can buff only defenses and can be placed only in Relics, while blue shards will buff your hero and can be placed in Weapon and Armor. Shards can be moved between pieces of gear and be upgraded straight from your inventory. A weapon or piece of armor allows to hold up to 2 Shards and can only equip Hero (blue) Shards and relics can hold up to 3 Defense (green) Shards.

Shards drop from shard packs obtained from victory chest at the end of every map, there are different kinds of shard packs depending on difficulty:

• Campaign Shard Packs will drop from campaign, but they will also drop in later Chaos difficulties in defense mode along with Chaos Shard Packs
• Chaos 1 Shard Packs will only drop from Chaos 1 difficulty
• Chaos 2 Shard Packs will only drop from Chaos 2 difficulty
• and so on
