Character Shards

From SWGoH Wiki
(Redirected from Accelerated Characters)
Jump to navigationJump to search

Character Shards are the resource required to unlock and increase (promote) the rarity (Stars) of a Character. Characters unlock at different amounts of shards and each Star requires a different amount to upgrade to the next star with all characters requiring a total of 330 shards to reach 7 stars. Character Shards can be acquired from almost all areas of the game, see the character's page to learn where to acquire them.

Shard Quantity Needed
Unlock Qty Upgrade Qty Total Upgrade Qty
1 Star 10 15 320
2 Stars 25 25 305
3 Stars 50 30 280
4 Stars 80 65 250
5 Stars 145 85 185
6 Stars N/A 100 100
7 Stars 330 N/A N/A

Character shards will accumulate until they are used to promote the unit to the next star. All shards left over and any acquired after a unit has been promoted to 7 stars will be exchanged for Game-Icon-Shard Store Token.png Shard Store Tokens upon entering the Shard Store. Shards will be exchanged at the following rates:

  • Accelerated Rate Shards = 1 for Game-Icon-Shard Store Token.png15
  • Original Rate Shards = 1 for Game-Icon-Shard Store Token.png30

There are currently two types of Character Shards: Original Rate and Accelerated Rate.

  • Original Rate shards are available at the normal quantity for each location it can be acquired from.
  • Accelerated Rate shards are available at double the normal quantity for each location it can be acquired from, excluding Data Cards, Quests and Achievements.
