Exclusive shards in Anime Vanguards are usually referring to Memoria Shards , and the main ways to get them are Challenge Mode, Weekly/Daily Challenges, Worldlines, Events, seasonal event shops, and limited-time codes. The most consistent farm is Challenge Mode, while the biggest one-time payouts usually come from Weekly Challenges and certain Worldlines milestones.

Main ways to get them

  • Challenge Mode: Regular challenges give 1 shard , daily challenges give 3 , and weekly challenges give 20. Regular challenges are the most repeatable source because they refresh often.
  • Worldlines: One guide says you can earn shards from Worldlines milestones, with a major reward at Floor 45 worth 50 shards.
  • Events: Event rewards can be exchanged for shards using event currency.
  • Seasonal events and codes: These can include shards, but they are limited-time and depend on what the current update offers.
  • Lobby shops: Some guides say shard stock may appear in shops during certain updates or events.

Fastest farming route

If you want shards quickly, the safest loop is:

  1. Run regular Challenge Mode as often as possible.
  2. Do daily and weekly challenges every reset.
  3. Clear Worldlines for milestone rewards.
  4. Check events, seasonal shops, and codes whenever an update drops.

How they are used

Memoria Shards are used to reroll Memoria Traits at the Mandra NPC in the lobby’s Upgrades area. That means shards are mainly a progression currency for improving your Memoria, not a general combat item.

Simple takeaway

The best repeatable source is Challenge Mode, and the best burst source is Weekly Challenges. If you only play casually, grabbing event rewards and checking codes can still add up over time.

TL;DR: Farm Challenge Mode, finish weekly/daily challenges, push Worldlines milestones, and watch events/codes for limited-time shard rewards.
