Exclusive Weapon Shard Table
Use this table to check each shard band, compare how costs spike after level 20, and estimate milestone totals such as level 10, level 20, or the full push to level 30.
| Level Range |  Shards per Level | Level Ups | Total Shards |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 to 1 (unlock) | 50 | 1 | 50 |
| 1 to 5 | 20 | 4 | 80 |
| 5 to 10 | 40 | 5 | 200 |
| 10 to 15 | 60 | 5 | 300 |
| 15 to 20 | 100 | 5 | 500 |
| 20 to 25 | 150 | 5 | 750 |
| 25 to 30 | 200 | 5 | 1000 |
How exclusive weapon shard costs work
Unlock cost is separate from upgrade cost
Unlocking an exclusive weapon requires 50 named shards for that specific hero. After the weapon is unlocked, later levels can be upgraded with either named or universal exclusive weapon shards.
The expensive part starts after level 20
Level 1 to 20 takes 1,080 upgrade shards, but level 20 to 30 alone needs another 1,750. That is why many players treat level 20 as the first real milestone before deciding whether to keep pushing one weapon higher.
Useful milestone totals
Common planning checkpoints are 1 to 10 for 280 shards, 1 to 20 for 1,080 shards, and 1 to 30 for 2,830 shards. If you also need the weapon unlock itself, add the separate 50 named shards on top.
