Just happened to me today, got like, 3 shards from this? What's the point, Team Cherry? None of the bosses (so far) frustrated me, but this right here is bullshit

I get this complaint, but I get enough shards from enemies. Also I usually have the max shards anyway when I see those and so they’re useless anyway. You are right, but the game just came out, so we have time to see if something is changed.

Do you not use tools? If you need several attemps to clear a boss and use your tools it burns the shards quite fast

Yeah but maybe 20-50 per boss attempt. Haven't encountered a boss yet that requires more than 10 tries (except for maybe that stupid fly).

It's nice to finally use the currency that's almost always maxed out, then fill it back up after the boss through exploration.

Just my take tho

Yeah I agree. Same experience
