Archon Shards — 5 slots (profile: Crush and Magnetize)

1. 🔴 Crimson — +10% Ability Strength (+15% Tauforged)
2. 🔴 Crimson — +10% Ability Strength (+15% Tauforged)
3. 🔴 Crimson — +10% Ability Strength (+15% Tauforged)
4. 🔵 Azure — +150 Health (+225 Tauforged)
5. 🔵 Azure — +150 Armor (+225 Tauforged)

On a magnetized target, Strength counts twice in Crush damage (wiki worked example): 3 Tauforged Crimson (+45%) give x1.32 at 200% Strength. Mag applies no Electricity, Radiation or Corrosion: status-gated bonuses do nothing. Health and Armor: 280 health and 105 armor, about +73% effective HP (Tauforged shards, shields included). Energy variant: one Azure Energy Max instead of one Crimson. Values: official wiki, 22 October 2026. Figures are for the base version: Mag Prime has 135 armor, so survival percentages shift a little; the shard choice stays the same.
