Archon Shards — 5 slots (profile: Snow Globe and Avalanche)

🔴 Crimson — +10% Ability Strength (+15% Tauforged)
🔴 Crimson — +10% Ability Strength (+15% Tauforged)
🔴 Crimson — +10% Ability Strength (+15% Tauforged)
🔴 Crimson — +10% Ability Strength (+15% Tauforged)
🔵 Azure — +150 Armor (+225 Tauforged)

Snow Globe health is multiplied by (1 + Strength): (3,500 + 5 × 315) × 1.4 = 7,105 with 4 Crimson and no other mod; Strength also drives Ice Wave and Avalanche damage and Avalanche's armor strip (full at 167%). Azure Armor: 315 → 465, 51% → 61% damage reduction (the wiki does not say whether this armor also feeds the globe). Values: official wiki, 22 October 2026. Figures are for the base version: Frost Prime has 315 armor, so survival percentages shift a little; the shard choice stays the same.
