How To Get 4 Star Hero Crystal Shards
There are quite a few ways to collect these shards in the game. We will first explore the regular ways and then we will show you a unique method to collect up to 3x more 4 star shards.
1. Act 3 and Act 4 Exploration Rewards – After you fully explore the Act 3 and Act 4 in the “Story Quests” section of the game, you will be rewarded with a free 4 star hero crystal. Yes, you will be getting 4 star crystals directly, instead of shards, which is amazing! You can easily claim the exploration rewards for Act 3 using only maxed out 3 star characters. You can also explore Act 4 completely using maxed out 3 stars and one or 2 4 star champions in your team. Yes, it can take you some time and effort but the rewards are also worth it.
2. Event Quests Exploration rewards – You can always find a special event quest running in “Event Quests” section. Like in the image below you can see “Guardians of The Galaxy Vol. Zero” event running. If you explore these events in the Heroic and Master mode difficulty then you will be rewarded with some 4 star hero crystal shards.
3. Road To The Labyrinth – You might have noticed Road To The Labyrinth in the event quest section already. You can win a combined total of 1350 4 star crystal shards as completion and exploration rewards here.
If you think its too much effort for just 1,000 shards then that is how to game developers have made it. You can use our method to win potential rewards in marvel contest of champions to get more high tier Iso-8 to fuse into your characters to make them even more stronger to beat the Road To The Labyrinth.

4. Claim The 3 Star & 4 Star Arena Rank Rewards – Competing in the 3 star and 4 star arenas in the “Multiverse Arenas” can help you to get much more 4 star shards in a short amount of time. Remember that you will need to achieve the best possible rankings in order to claim the most shards. You will need to play extremely hard for the whole duration of the arenas and only then you will be able to get positioned in top rankings because you will be competing with players from all around the world.
In the image above you can see the currently running 4 star Nebula arena and if you get positioned in top 1% to 10% then you will be rewarded with 800 4 star crystal shards together with 400 5 star hero crystal shards.
5. Selling 3 Star Champions – Not a great way to get 4 star shards but still a quick and effortless way to instantly get some 4 star crystal shards. The number of shards you will get depends upon the level and rank of the 3 star character you will be selling. You can collect a maximum of 135 4 star hero crystal shards by selling a maxed out 3 star hero. So if you some 3 stars just lying in there, then it would be a good idea to sell them for some quick shards.
6. Alliance Wars – You can join an alliance and play the “Alliance Wars” for a chance to win some 4 star shards. This way not only you but all the alliance members will be able to get these shards which will benefit your whole alliance. The rewards depends upon your placement in the rankings and you need to claim the top rankings to get maximum shards. In the image below you can see the top 1% would receive 266 shards.
Other than the above mentioned methods there are also some more ways to collect a few shards here and there but they require much more effort for a very low amount of shards and thus they are not worth mentioning in the list.
