Incursions and gear
Earn Prime Incursion Hyper Shards
Prime Incursions offer first-clear Hyper Shards and separate ring rewards at Chaos IX and X.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Earn Prime Incursion Hyper Shards
Prime Incursions, available at Chaos VIII and above; use the in-game Prime list to select an available encounter and view its rewards.
Before you go
- Unlock Prime Incursions at Chaos VIII or above.
- Choose an available Prime encounter with a first-clear reward you have not claimed.
- Bring a build able to handle the selected encounter's displayed rules and enemies.
Farming steps
- Open the Prime Incursion menu and review the available encounters and their reward information.
- Select an encounter with an unclaimed first-clear Hyper Shard reward.
- Read the encounter conditions and enemy schedule shown in game before building.
- Place defenses to cover the displayed lanes and account for the encounter's special rules.
- Complete the Incursion's victory condition and collect its completion rewards.
- Check your inventory or progression screen to confirm the Hyper Shard was awarded.
- For a ring, select Chaos IX or X only when that reward is shown for the encounter, then verify the result separately from the first-clear shard.
- Treat rings and Hyper Shards as separate reward targets; a ring milestone does not replace a first-clear shard check.
- Prime Incursions begin at Chaos VIII, so pick a difficulty you can complete consistently before pursuing further rewards.
Repeat, collect and use
First-clear Hyper Shards are limited to the first clear that awards them. Prime Incursions can be replayed, and rings are separate rewards associated with Chaos IX and X; check the in-game reward information for the encounter before repeating.
Common mistakes
- Assuming every Prime clear awards a new Hyper Shard; check whether that encounter's first-clear reward remains unclaimed.
- Confusing ring rewards with Hyper Shard milestones; track and verify each target independently.
- Entering without reading the Prime encounter conditions; adapt the defense layout to the rules displayed for that run.
When to stop or switch
Stop once the selected first-clear Hyper Shard is credited, or once the desired Chaos IX or X ring reward is collected; move to another encounter if its displayed reward better matches your remaining goal.
