I’m quite happy with this, and consider it a nice bonus.
I already have 7* malevolence so shards boost my shard shop currency and only need 25 shards more for CAT as I focused on RC to work towards executor.
CG gets a LOT wrong but this is a free bonus so don’t quite understand the moaning by some people, especially since worst case you farm kryotech on lightside if you don’t need anything else and get the shards
