Arcanes
Archon Shards — 5 slots (profile: Blade Storm)
Strength over Melee Critical Damage: Blade Storm has only 5% crit chance (x1.2), so a Crimson crit-damage shard adds about 1%; +10% Strength raises Shuriken, Teleport and Blade Storm alike. Armor over Health: 105 → 255 armor, about +25% effective HP (+18% with Health). Values: official wiki, 22 October 2026. Figures are for the base version: Ash Prime has 185 armor, so survival percentages shift a little; the shard choice stays the same.
