Ascendant Shard is a type of material in Destiny and Destiny 2.
Gameplay
Originally used to upgrade the attack value on Legendary Armor during Year 1, they have since been phased out of use in favor of other material systems. It is still currently required to level of Year 1 Vault of Glass Armor, and can be obtained from the Vault itself, or purchased from The Speaker with Ascendant Energy.
In Destiny 2, Ascendant Shards were reintroduced as an Exotic material used to masterwork Legendary and Exotic Armor, and purchase Exotic weapons from past content at the Monument To Lost Lights in the Tower. They are acquired from challenging activities such as high difficulty Nightfall: The Ordeal Strikes, Trials of Osiris, or bought from Banshee-44 or Rahool.
Ascendant Shards can also be obtained from the paid track of the current Season Pass at varying ranks. Rarely, in-game events may reward Ascendant Shards such as 2020's Dawning.
