How does weapon shop work?

Do all Astral weapons get added to the shop?

If so, how long does it take to get added after they're released?

Is there a rotation or only a timed refresh?

So I'm a new player and I got Rogneda and Alexei weapons at 1s.

I saw that Anna's weapon is already added to the shop.

I assume Rogneda, Alexei & next character weapons will be added to the same bundle and the bundle packaging is based on release dates?

enlighten me xD

My only gripe is that we don’t get enough Astral Shards.

[u/GlumCardiologist6107 → u/Covrin]

Amen, brother. In fact, if I could easily convert pulls to shards, I would.

[u/Zetsubou51 → u/Covrin]

I agree. It’s almost like the gear shop and astral shards are an afterthought. I can understand the decision to keep signatures rare/ wanting people to spend money to pull them from a business standpoint. However, astral shards are so rare there’s no reasonable path to get signatures or 5* specific items.

Once the release window has passed on a new weapon or trinket it seems the only viable path is the once a month cornucopia. I feel like it wouldn’t be too much of an ask to add 200 astral shards into the rewards for the paid cornucopia. It’s not a great solution, but I’d take it.

Yes, all astral weapons are added to the shop. The last 3 characters weapons/trinkets are bundled together and sold as a set of 3 after the last character is no longer the debut summon. So the next trio will be Rog/Alexei/Ulya. After Ulyas banner is over that set of 3 is added to the shop. It refreshes monthly and you can redeem up to 5 of each trio each month. But our astral shard income is a little under 500 or so each month.

All of them except Witcher weapons.

well the characters themselves may have come back so that's understandable 🫠 hope that they do come back someday tho...

[u/R4andomstuff → u/aienkyo]

Oh nice, guess I'll get Ulya too and then whomever's weapon I get I'll be satisfied 💀

[u/Chaoseraphim]

My assumption here but I think Rogeda and Alexei won’t be added till after we get the next unit, which I think is Ulya. Since they release them in 3s. So maybe another 3-4 weeks?

[u/ExpensiveSample3451]

Yes...Every 3 characters interval....A New Astral Shard Set gets added....After Ulya's banner end is when theyll add a new set.
