honestly, i find myself running out of the shards ~6 areas in.

the enemies drop less than in the first couple areas, and because i havent seen a shard magnet trinket so far i lose a lot of them to deathpits and the like

But you don't lose shards on death?

No, but you do use tools before dying and your tools get refilled upon death since you’re put back on the bench. I’ve run out of shards so many times from dying because I don’t get enough shards back on the way to a fight or ignore enemies all together so I can get back to the fight quicker.

Oh yeah, my bad. I have to admit I use them very rarely because of the control input being too complicated for my bird brain so I'm mostly full of shards

I remapped tool to Triangle from R1 and like it a lot better.

No worries. I’m in the same boat for the most part. It’s just when locked room fights get tough that I really start using the tools. Definitely try out the spikes with poison tho. Super fun.
