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. Blue shards give you hero new abilities or stats while they are placed in any item currently equipped by that hero, but green (defenses) shards strengthen only that tower, where relic containing them is equipped.
==Shards packs==
Shards drop from shard packs obtained from victory chest at the end of every map, you will get Standard shard pack after completing any Campaign and Chaos map, those packs can drop shards associated with Campaign packs. After completing Trials on Chaos difficulty, you will get guaranteed Shard pack from that difficulty and one Shard Pack from any previous difficulty (for example, if you beat Chaos 3 Trials, you’ll receive 1 Chaos 3 Shard Pack and 1 Chaos 2, Chaos 1 or Standard Shard Pack).
Once you win 3 consecutive random maps in a row in Trials, you’ll activate the Shard consecutive bonus. On your 4th consecutive victory onward, you’ll earn an extra Shard Pack for as long as the streak continues. This extra Shard Pack is a guaranteed Shard Pack from that difficulty. That means once you activate the win bonus, you’ll get 3 Shards guaranteed every victory (2 Shard Packs of that difficulty, 1 Shard Pack from previous difficulties) until the streak is broken.
