Character Shards
From SWGoH Help Wiki
Character Shards are the resource required to unlock and increase (promote) the rarity (Stars) of a Character. Characters unlock at different amounts of shards and each Star requires a different amount to upgrade to the next star with all characters requiring a total of 330 shards to reach 7 stars. Character Shards can be acquired from almost all areas of the game, see the character's page to learn where to acquire them.
| Unlock Qty | Upgrade Qty | Total Upgrade Qty | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Star | 10 | 15 | 320 |
| 2 Stars | 25 | 25 | 305 |
| 3 Stars | 50 | 30 | 280 |
| 4 Stars | 80 | 65 | 250 |
| 5 Stars | 145 | 85 | 185 |
| 6 Stars | N/A | 100 | 100 |
| 7 Stars | 330 | N/A | N/A |
Character shards will accumulate until they are used to promote the unit to the next star. All shards left over and any acquired after a unit has been promoted to 7 stars will be exchanged for 
Shard Store Tokens upon entering the Shard Store. Shards will be exchanged at the following rates:
- Accelerated Rate Shards = 1 for 15
- Original Rate Shards = 1 for 30
There are currently two types of Character Shards: Original Rate and Accelerated Rate.
- Original Rate shards are available at the normal quantity for each location it can be acquired from.
- Accelerated Rate shards are available at double the normal quantity for each location it can be acquired from, excluding Data Cards, Quests and Achievements.
