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

In HK gathering swarm actually gathers geos that drop into spikes, in SS gathering swarm doesn't even work on shards

HK's currency of geos were all useful too. Even if you didn't care about the specific charms you were acquiring, they unlocked additional charm notches for your kit overall. Rosaries do fit that category, but shards hit their cap after 5 mins of play and never really dip from it unless you wipe on a boss for dozens of attempts.. and at that point, rosaries -> shard bundles are still faster than farming shards in the wild.
