Soul Shard Types and Upgrades

Helm Shards
Helm shards offer various gem effects and additional stats, such as main stat, vitality, and damage reduction. The Sliver of Terror, which creates a ring of fire, is particularly powerful for speed farming and pushing builds.
Weapon Shards
Weapon shards, such as the Essence of Anguish and the Remnant of Pain, provide different damage bonuses and effects. The Essence of Anguish is commonly used in many builds, while the Remnant of Pain allows for increased crit chance against crowd-controlled targets.
