Comet shards?

[Mikey-2-Guns]

I'm confused on how to gather comet shards. I thought you got increasing shard rewards from running endless farm but I just beat the sleeper and the only shards I got were what I had in my inventory. Do you not get additional shards the further you make it in endless or are they just inventory drops?

the only shards you get are the ones you collect in the farmstead, in your inventory. No bonus.

Yep, but the amount you earn does get bigger and bigger you go on.

So the only ones I'm going to get in endless are from bosses and the curio that drops them? Any tips on how to make it through the sleeper fight without being completely stressed out so I can go further?

I was using a Jestal + highwayman and shield breaker dance party which was working very well up until the sleeper.

The only real way to end up less stressed is to finish it as fast as possible. I've always liked finishing it with the Jester as soon as Finale is revved up. Try to come into the fight already jacked up with Battle Ballad for results like this:

(And you may notice even this virtuous Jester has 90 stress. This fight is nasty to finish with low stress but this team was able to recover pretty quickly.)

I also find stacking Flagellant's bleed gets the HP coming down nicely (although he has other issues with stuff like skellies).

So battle ballad, his self finale buff and finale to hopefully end the fight in 3 rounds?

Well that's a bit of a bait-and-switch. Killing the husks themselves gives you no shards? I was under the impression it did because the shard counter goes up at the end as the body count does. If I knew it was only bosses I probably would have left before getting 4 freakin' afflictions in fights after the Thing from the Stars stressed my party out from basically 0.

No jester kind of screwed me I guess, but it was shard week and I didn't have a level 6 jester yet, just a crusader that was spamming rally half the time.

There's additional advice for the boss on the Wiki.
