When purchasing a hero with Shards, a player is able to choose the exact hero, instead of the game picking at random when the hero is purchased with Gems, Honor Badges or from Hero Cards. You can view your current Shard amount in two ways: With the new update, Shards can also be obtained from the Quest Board. All Dungeons have a chance to give the player Shards if won, and Dungeons marked with a blue tower will give you more (but those rooms are tougher). Shards are earned by defeating Dungeons and successfully defending against the fifth wave of Here Be Monsters. Shards is a rare resource and can be used to purchase Heroes at the Heroes Altar, or to donate to your Guild for upgrades and benefits.
