Archon shards

[Clockeye]

-Violet shard, Crimson shard-
(all in reference to melee crit damage)

Is there any real purpose to using Violet shards over Crimson shards?

If giving the option (infinite shards), Violet is the pick right?


-Topaz shard-
(secondary crit chance)
Do they stack? 2 bring my cap to 150%?
Or am I limited to 75% cap? regardless of having more then one?

(health on blast kill)
same questions.

also, is the buff a +health increase or a heal?

For pure melee crit damage, violet is the way to go, if you can also get a good sized energy pool to double the crit value. Then it's vastly superior to crimson for melee criticals.

Yeah, violet is always the better pick if 501 or more energy is attainable on the frame.

Topaz crit chance gain per kill and max possible crit chance bonus do stack.

Not sure about topaz health on kill, probably stacks similarly and it seems to just increase max HP, so you probably won't get any health after you max the buff out.

so they do stack, nice.
the no plus symbol was throwing me off.
thanks

Since arcane battery became a thing, a lot more frames can do it easily. Valkyr, for instance.
