What should I use shards on next?

[Darkeonz]

So I've maxed out 8 ancient leaves of Witch Essence Multiplier. So I now farm a decent amount of shards now.

What would you pick as your next set? Damage to beat higher levels of the pyramids or?

Damage for Pyramid. Once you kick out the floor -100 boss you get a whole new set of things to deal with.

Okay thank you

Any specific type of damage? (I actually haven't checked if there are several types)

Should I go for Blower enemy damage: +X%?

a mix of blower damage, blower damage% and slap damage

Don't worry about spending too many shards just yet either. You'll need 250 after you finish Pyramid -100 to unlock the next set of areas, and the bosses there will drop shards, and their cards boost shard gain from enemies. Pretty much as soon as you can AFK the first boss there, you won't have to worry about brewing shards.

You'll need at least 21.4 e39 slap damage, though more is helpful. 300 e39 should one slap it.

VERY basically:

Craft a set of 8 Ancient Leaves with high (doesn't need to be perfect, but try for 90+) quality. You should have enough beer to max out the RNG quality (if you don't, you should fix that via trading because you'll need beer anyway).

Reroll the properties of them until they ALL have Blower Enemy Damage, Blower Enemy Damage% AND Slap Multiplier on them. Nothing else is relevant (these leaves are just for damage) but they have to have all three.

Max out their level/ascension. Of course.

On the first 6 leaves:
Max out the shards for Blower Enemy Damage on two leaves.
Max out the shards for Blower Enemy Damage% on two other leaves.
Max out the shards for Slap Multiplier on two other leaves.

You have 2 un-sharded leaves left. For these you:
Put 6 shards into Blower Enemy Damage on ONE leaf.
Put 6 shards into Blower Enemy Damage% on the OTHER leaf.
Put 4 shards into Slap Multiplier on BOTH leaves.

You should now have 10+10+6=26 shard levels for Blower Enemy Damage and Blower Enemy Damage% (from two max shard leaves and one 6 shard leaf for each) and 10+10+8=28 shard levels for Slap Multiplier (from two max shard leaves and two 4 shard leaves).

This gives you a (mostly) even spread of damage bonuses (slap damage is based off blower damage so you need blower damage to get better slap damage).

I can't take credit for it. Someone else wrote up a big post about it a while ago (which I couldn't find with a few searches, otherwise I would have linked it) which explained how to get enough damage to beat floor -100 of the Pyramid. A lot has changed (getting the damage is MUCH easier now), but that's the main way to get a big boost.
