Power Shards

Raw Power Shard tooltips versus estimated effective increases in the source.

Source context and uncertainty

Source recommendations, first-person statements, and testing claims are Kanon’s. Figures are captured examples rather than universal costs or ideal builds.

Captured source update: 9/20/2026. Regional and unconfirmed details remain qualified as written.

Efficiency values assume an ideal KR end-game build at the start of Season 1, level 50 and Lava Heart armor, including support buffs. Global launch, future KR, class buffs and diminishing returns can change these values.

This guide preserves Kanon’s source statements and labels the source’s limits. Original source document · About the source and author

Power Shards

Power Shards are consumables you equip that enhance your damage by a % value. Power Shards have slight diminishing returns from the PVE Attack bucket. The damage increase efficiency comes out to:

(Regular) Power Shard = 4.65% more damage
(Yellow) Superior Power Shard = 8.9% more damage (4.05% more than Regulars)
Tooltip versus effective damage
The tooltips show 5% and 10%; the guide estimates effective gains of 4.65% and 8.9%. Its “4.05% more” comparison is approximately the relative gain (~4.06%), not the 4.25-percentage-point difference.
