What do Star Shards do?

Unlike other currencies, Star Shard is a type of currency in Teamfight Tactics that you can use to buy stuff like skins. Everything you can buy using Star Shards is only cosmetic and doesn’t affect gameplay. 

What makes these cosmetics special is that they give Little Legends special effects, sound effects, and animations, setting them apart from other players. 

Another thing about Star Shards is that because it’s a currency only used for skins and cosmetics, it has a premium, so you will need to spend a bit of money to get your hands on it. Besides outright buying Star Shards, you can get them through the battle pass, which will require a bit of work, but at least you won’t have to spend any money on them.

How to get Star Shards

Below are the two methods you can utilize to acquire Star Shards in Teamfight Tactics.

Buying it

Now, to discuss how to get Star Shards. As mentioned earlier, one of the first ways to get Star Shards is by buying the currency. You can buy the currency by following these steps:

• Open the game
• Go to the TFT Tab
• It should show the amount of Star Shards you currently have on the top right of the screen. Click on the + sign next to it.
• It’ll lead to another screen where it should give options on the amount of Star Shards to buy. Select the favored one.
• If there’s enough RP present in the account, then Star Shards will be added. If not, then the user will get a prompt to buy RP.

By following these steps, you’ll get Star Shards and be able to upgrade your Little Legends.

Battle Pass

The other way to get the Battle Pass in Teamfight Tactics is by leveling up your battle pass. To get the battle pass, all you need to do is:

• Open the game
• Go to the TFT Tab
• Click on the main button to get the battle pass
• Buy the battle pass

By going the Battle Pass route, you’ll be able to get many more rewards besides Star Shards so the Little Legends will get many more cosmetics besides the ones in the store. The currency is in the pass every few tiers, so you’ll have to grind the game to get it.

How to upgrade your Little Legends using Star Shards

Now that you have the Star Shards in hand, the only things you need to do to upgrade the Little Legends are:

• Go into the TFT lobby
• Open the inventory
• Scroll and look for the Little Legend to upgrade
• Upgrade the Little Legend

Once you do all of this, you’ll be able to upgrade the Little Legend. Remember that each level costs Star Shards, so collect a sufficient amount beforehand. 

The Battle Pass will take some time, but it’ll also net you some extra stuff, whereas buying the currency outright will cost more but take less time.

FAQ

Can you get Shards without spending money?

Unfortunately, Star Shards are the premium currency for Teamfight Tactics, which means there’s no way to get them without spending actual money yourself.
