Crystal Shard

Crystal Shards are pieces of Crystals gained from doing things like completing Quests, Arenas, duplicating/selling Champions or opening Crystal Shard Crystals. When enough shards are collected, they can be traded for a Crystal, while some shards also gain access to a Special Event quest.

It should be noted, however, that Shard Crystals account for less points than regular Crystals do in Alliance Events.
