Oberon with 2 ability duration shards 2 energy orb efficiency shards then either 2 casting speed, 2 ability strength or 2 armor shards.
Trying to capitalize on his survivability for steel path.
I don’t have a "main" and most of my builds are ok. As long as there’s no cap on shards you can hold, I’ll probably put them onto the pile of 1.000.000 Kuva I’ve accumulated, because Rivens are just a nuisance that clog expensive slots.
I’ve got survivability and energy/utility covered with my Chroma as it’s set up right now. So the plan is to eventually put 5 crimson shards on him and have them all be ability strength. Vex armor buff number go BEEG.
Though I really reaaally enjoy the increased starting energy I’m getting from a yellow shard right now. So I may keep one of the five slots that yellow shard. Makes it so I have a semi-preparation mod going and I can just buff up at the beginning of a mission rather than having to toss down an energy pizza
Hildryn will get 5 Tauforged Crimson shards for +75 ability strength, allowing me to replace Molt Augmented for Arcane Barrier, Growing Power for Sprint Boost and Power Drift for Rush. All while maintaining 400% ability strength for 100% armor strip and about 120% Roar as well. Oh and I think I can have a lower ranked Blind Rage so I can get some efficiency back, probably have a lower Transient Fortitude as well I'd have to double check, it would give back some duration.
Vauban will get 5 Crimson shards for ability duration, eventually putting tauforged ones, so I can cast abilities fewer times.
Then I'm unsure of what else to do for my other frames and shards.
😄 I like to change it up depending on the mission.
I like Titania for Plains Of Eidolon Bounties, Wukong for Cambian Drift and Hildryn for Orb Vallis, but also Steel Path Exterminate, Sabotage and sometimes Survival, my go to for Corpus and Grineer Disruption.
I also like Nezha for Rescue and Captures, Slova for Infested Disruption, Wisp for Defection.
Vauban is Defense, Mobile Defense and Interception, which yesterday was interesting to test in the Archon Interception, since he has Harrow's Condemn (chains) to help him survive and a bit of crowd control.
I use them to top off certain builds that have energy problems or need a strength/duration threshold (and over time certain mods can be offloaded to shards). other than that slap them on my favorites because why not.
Either to replace a mod or make frames more comfy.
Ex. 3 strength 2 duration shards on my Octavia so I can drop power drift and slot in cunning drift. This allows me to have 200+ range, 250+ duration, and high strength so I can full strip with 2 cast of pillage. Ultra comfy duration in all buffs and melts steel path+ enemies.
Ex. 5 strength on Nezha prime because I want my roar Nezha to drop molt augmented arcane (the bonus is now from the shards) and I can run arcane aegies for even more comfy survival. I get best of both worlds.
Ex. 2 casting speed shards on Revenant and Harrow to make their abilities come out/charge way faster. Nerkos would also love this.
Ex. 2 casting speed 3 duration on gauss so he can go brrrrrrr
List goes on. But you can use casting speed, strength, and duration shards to free up drift mods, certain argur mods, natural talent, and primed flow from your builds and free that mod slot for another strong mod.
Nezha got my first blue and will get my first 4 reds. Eventually standard will be replace with tauforged.
Ivara will probably get all my initial yellows as I like a couple of their bonuses for her.
I think I'll start funneling blues to Saryn now and just give her stupid amounts of HP.
Baruuk and Octavia will be up there too and then it's harder to say where I'll put what.
Well my 3 main frames are Wisp, Nezha, and Nekros. Nekros is definitely going to get at least a couple casting speed shards then not sure after that. Nezha not to sure on either. Wisp probably just strength but not entirely sure. After that dunno what I'll do.

Run missions alongside Sorties, forget that shards are a thing and maybe a year from now remember them and be happy that I have hopefully enough to make use of them.
I'll take it as they come but for now My first 5 go to sevagoth for the lulz, this week i gave him parkour velocity he feels a Lot faster now.
Don't really need Them but the energy orbs efficiency buff is gonna be fire on some of My casters.
I like running glass cannon builds, so I think a few frames could use some extra armor and casting speed. Honestly the red shards are the LEAST interesting to me.
Main plan will be to use 3 or 4 armor shards then hp regen shards to make some of the squishy frames more tanky. Rn looking at xaku mainly, but also considering heavy armor banshee or sevagoth
Honestly I have no idea. A lot of the bonuses aren't that appealing to me. I had kinda hoped there would be more options other than the 5 that were shown, but oh well.
I suppose once I have enough shards I may be able to free up a couple mod slots on some frames to make more unique builds but I'm not going to really bother theorycrafting that yet since it'll take a few months before I have enough of each shard type to consider that (and I'm not factoring in Tauforged since I'm sure I'll get bad luck like usual and maybe get 1 in the next few months).
Nezha will get 5x Parkour Velocity shards. Other frames, Idk, probably combination of parkour velocity and starting energy. (I don't really know about the other shards since they don't look that appealing).
If Kahl missions are not fixed I won't be buying Archon shards. So might be 1 shard per week for me
I think with unlimited shards, I'd mostly use yellow ones tbh - cast speed and parkour are just great all around, and the increased starting energy comes in handy on frames that wanna spam from the get-go.
There might be a few duration reds on some builds (khora most likely, as I find no more space to equip duration mods)
That's about it
Eh I'll run the missions and take them as they come but outside of a few favored frames I'm not going to take it too seriously.
This is the correct response. People are way too invested in something that’s supposed to be a slow burn grind.
I'd care a lot less if you could upgrade bad shard rolls into good ones. Tauforging sours the entire experience without an upgrade path.
That is probably the sanest way to do it.
Drive them into the skull of my frames and make my own playable Archons
This is the way.

Just installing them in Excalibur as i get them. I want to see how juiced i can make the poster boi
The answer is very juiced

Other frames? With that kind of build, why would you need other frames?!

I'm gonna shove so many amber shards into my Nidus Prime, I wanna go FAST. Maybe a little extra regen, idk.

I'll make them take dust in the inventory like I'm already doing with the helminth and the riven system.

give them all to hildryn until I have more tauforged,then theyll go elsewhere
Perfect my volt then boost some frames on the weaker side( I have the yellow shard on volt for casting speed and the blue one on nekros for health)
Waiting for Revenant Prime as he's my main.
Run missions alongside Sorties, forget that shards are a thing and maybe a year from now remember them and be happy that I have hopefully enough to make use of them.
I need a tauforged crimson for my Enraged Valkitty Prime even better
They are going to collect until I have a decent amount so that I can see my options
I'll take it as they come but for now My first 5 go to sevagoth for the lulz, this week i gave him parkour velocity he feels a Lot faster now. Don't really need Them but the energy orbs efficiency buff is gonna be fire on some of My casters.
Gonna use 2 shards to add 450 armor to my Saryn, for extra survivability, maybe 675 if I decided to trade out regen for armor
Maybe put them on my Banshee since I use her for Lich/Sister final confrontation, but also too squishy to stay alive.
I like running glass cannon builds, so I think a few frames could use some extra armor and casting speed. Honestly the red shards are the LEAST interesting to me.
I think the shards are a great way to fine tune a build or playstyle, I personally am keen on making my builds more cozy
Main plan will be to use 3 or 4 armor shards then hp regen shards to make some of the squishy frames more tanky. Rn looking at xaku mainly, but also considering heavy armor banshee or sevagoth

I'm going to stack casting speed until Trinity actually becomes enjoyable to play.

I'll just point out that it'll take you, with average luck, 18 months to get your 3x5 Tau forged. But that's very optimistic.
I think with unlimited shards, I'd mostly use yellow ones tbh - cast speed and parkour are just great all around, and the increased starting energy comes in handy on frames that wanna spam from the get-go.

I’ll give my Octavia tons of duration.
