In this guide, we will be talking about how to get more Archon Shards and how to use them to improve your character. Let’s get started.

How to Get More Archon Shards

There are actually 2 very good methods of how you will be able to collect and get more Archon Shards. Both of them are equally good. This is what you’ll have to do.

Shopping for Archon Shards

This happens once a week, so if you want to buy some useful shards, you should keep an eye on them. Simply go into his garrison and you can interact with him there.

The shop menu will open and you can find various and different types of Archon Shards of your choosing and preference.

Chipper, a vendor at Drifter’s Camp, sells Archon Shards. You can buy the shard with Kahl’s weekly mission currency, Stock. 

Keep in mind that you cannot trade the Archon Shards. Once you’ve bought them they’re yours for good.

Hunting Down Archons for Archon Shards

You need to finish all three missions in the weekly Archon Hunt to get a shard. These creatures are tough. So, get your build ready and beat these enemies!

Archon Hunts are missions in the style of a sortie. With the Veilbreaker update, there are now three Archon Shards that can be found on Earth, Mars, and Jupiter. 

Archon Hunts will happen once a week on each of these planets. 

These missions start at level 130, so use the in-game group finder and make sure you have your best Warframe and weapons ready to help you get through these tough fights. 

There are also three types of Shards you can get that are changed depending on the Archon that you have killed. These are their types:

• Amber – Nira
• Crimson – Amar
• Azure – Boreal

If you finish all three of these missions, you’ll get an Archon Shard from the planet that was the focus of the week.

Tauforged Archon Hunts

You have a 20% chance of getting a Tauforged Archon Shard when you finish an Archon Hunt. 

The buffs that come with this shard are 50% stronger than their normal counterparts, giving your Warframe a more noticeable stat boost when it is equipped. 

Standard Archon Shards and Tauforged Archon Shards take up the same amount of space. You can’t craft or trade Tauforged Archon Shards either.

How To Improve Your Character with the Archon Shards?

When you get an Archon Shard, you have to put it on a Warframe of your choice to actually improve it. Install the Helminth Archon Shard Segment to do this. 

After you finish the Veilbreaker quest, you will get the plan for this upgrade. For this upgrade to work, you need the following materials:

• 50 Thrax Materials
• 2 Enthrati Lanthorns
• 10 Devolved Namalon
• 5 Sporulate Sac

You can find all of these things on the planet Deimos. Use Nekros and his Desecrate skill to quickly gather these materials.

After you craft this upgrade, you can put up to five Archon Shards on each Warframe using your Helminth. 

You can take these shards off, but it costs Helmitnh bile to do so, so make sure you put them on the right Warframe. 

There are three different Archon Shards, and each one gives a different boost and improvement to a different stat.

You can use the Helminth system to add up to five Archon Shards to a Warframe at once. 

When you finish the “Veilbreaker” quest and make the next Helminth part, you’ll be able to get Archon Shards and put them in sockets.

Archon Shards are an endgame progression system that lets you make your favorite Warframes as good as possible by giving them stats that would be hard to get otherwise. 

For example, you can use Archon Shards to give your build more parkour speed, a flat bonus to their armor stat, or more Ability Strength. 

This system gives you more ways to try things out and can make some builds use less mod space.

They are the small artifact buffs that will give you that extra edge when fighting with your in-game rival. Highly recommended to use them!
