In The First Descendant, there are a lot of materials to keep track of, and ultimately collect, in order to unlock new characters, enhance your gear, and more.<\/p>\n
One specific material most will be needing, especially after making it through the beginning portion of the game, is Void Shards.<\/p>\n
Here, we\u2019ll reveal how to get Void Shards in The First Descendant \u2013 something that might appear to be easy but the game doesn\u2019t exactly make things clear.<\/p>\n
How to destroy Void Fragments to get Void Shards in The First Descendant<\/h2>\n
To get Void Shards in The First Descendant, you must destroy Void Fragments that are within Void Fragment Missions.<\/p>\n
While this might seem like an extremely simple process, you might be here because you\u2019re actually stuck when it comes to breaking down the Void Fragments.<\/p>\n
To destroy the Void Fragments and subsequently secure Void Shards, you have to do so using Descendants that have a specific damage type.<\/p>\n
This is laid out when hovering over the Void Fragment missions in the map, where you should be able to see a \u2018Destructible Only by Skill\u2019 section, along with the damage type you\u2019ll need.<\/p>\n
This can be Fire, Electric, Chill, Non Attribute, or Toxic, and you\u2019ll need to play as a Descendant that possesses that type of skill.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
For example, characters such as Blair<\/a> and Lepic have Fire skills, Ajax and Valby<\/a> have Non Attribute, and Bunny has Electric.<\/p>\n So, to put it simply, if you don\u2019t have a character that has the damage type required to destroy the Void Fragment, you\u2019re going to be stuck when the time comes in the mission.<\/p>\n Once you do get the right element though and wrap up the destruction, you\u2019ll net yourself some Void Shards.<\/p>\n We recommend you definitely get stockpiling these as you\u2019ll need them to even be able to access Void Fusion Reactor Missions, so best to get started now you have the information.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
