Element Shards

All 6 Elements of Harmony

The Element Shards are fragments of the Elements of Harmony, used to activate the Harmony Stones and to defeat Parasprites, Changelings, and Vampire Fruit Bats. After a Harmony Stone is activated, Shards can continue to be used on it to award Bits and, rarely, Gems ; defeating Parasprites, Changelings, and Vampire Fruit Bats also awards these.

Element Shards are obtained by collecting from shops and playing the Balloon Pop minigame. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna additionally rarely perform a special dance animation after being welcomed, after which one of each shard is generated. Laughter Shards are the most often collected shard, and Magic the least, though individual shops reward certain shards more often than others.
