As a Legends of Runeterra player, you might wonder "should I use my shards for champions?"
The answer depends on your goals and current card collection. Here's what you need to know to make the best choice.
Shards serve multiple purposes in the game. You can use them to buy cards or create Nova Crystals.
Nova Crystals help unlock Star Powers for champions who have complete constellations. You get Nova Shards from Gold Star Vessels and Nova Crystals from Platinum Star Vessels.
I recommend saving your shards mainly for Epic and Champion cards.
Wild Cards work better for Common and Rare cards since you can get them more easily through regular play. This strategy helps you build your collection faster and more efficiently.
For the best value, spend your shards on Standard champions. These cards stay in the main rotation and you can use them in most game modes.
Rotated cards have limited use until the Eternal ladder becomes available, so buying them with shards now might not give you the best return.
If you're new to the game, focus on getting key champions for your main deck first. This gives you a strong foundation to start winning games and earning more rewards.
Once you have your main deck ready, you can start expanding your collection based on other deck types you want to try.
Remember that shards are a valuable resource. Each purchase matters, so take time to plan which champions you really need.
Check if you have Wild Cards available before using shards, and consider waiting for weekly vault rewards that might give you the cards you want.
