Frequently Asked Questions
How many shards to 7-star a character in MSF?
A character needs a cumulative total of shards across tiers; 7★ commonly requires 310 total shards. Enter the exact figure shown on the character's star screen for precision.
Where do I farm character shards?
Campaign nodes, the various stores (Supplies, Arena, Blitz, War, Raid), Milestone events, and Orbs. Daily store refreshes are a reliable source.
Should I focus shards on one character or spread them?
Concentrate shards to complete meta teams of five rather than spreading thin — a full 5-character team unlocks far more game modes.
