Best shards?

[LazyAmerican]

Just curious what the most powerful ones are?

[Mad Thanin, Thrice Drowned]

I'm only about 7 hours in but True Arrow is probably my favorite directional so far, especially upgraded. A lot of the rest seem like preference as of now.

I personally use Welcome company red shards, it make a ton of books flying around you not only it can protect you from some ranged attacks but it does insane thorn damage if you get close to ennemies. it is also very good to kill annoying ennemies like bats and dulahan heads. ( dropped by flying portraits.)

Welcome Company and Flame Cannon is the combo I've been using since I got them, but I hardly tried more than 5 in a bit more than 10 hours played tbh because I'm saving the surprise for NG+.

Dragon rend and True arrow are my faves so far

[The Guardian Fox]

True Arrow is legit broken. I've yet to see a use for any other damage dealing shards after you obtain it. Most of them cost more MP and do less damage.

[LockDown]

Summon Bat is really good if you improve it a few times. Basically clears the screen.

[Shylaar]

Heretical Grinder and Inferno Breath are both so ridiculously overpowered I think they need to be nerfed.

[GameGeeks]

Lili takes my vote. Welcome is also up there.

[DZMaven]

Upgraded Summon Bat and True Arrow have been my go to for most of the game.

Heretical Grinder, welcome company and occasionally bat are usually my go to's. Heretical Grinder you get from the chain saw sword guys, and it destroys most bosses (1 only take 1 damage from what I've seen, works well on everyone else).

I kinda like Ghost. Once upgraded it lasts for a long time and does decent damage + homes in on targets. Sorta fire and forget.

[El anclador]

Riga Storaema and True Arrow is what I've been using.

[Medusahead]

Arrow is overpowered I somehow managed to upgrade 5 or 6 times when starting and it kills everything in no more than 2 shots.

[Lost Question]

what I have is the fire cannon r.1, bats r.5, and the sword passive r.2. (the early level of the bats is not that great but the r.5 burst is pretty much fatal on most of the stuff i have encountered)

Usually by that point it's moot because your gear can help you dish out that much damage in a few hits...
