To use Aether Shards in COD Mobile, you spend them exclusively in the Undead Siege Zombies mode to upgrade Talents. This resource is not a general currency for standard multiplayer, Battle Royale, or COD Mobile weapon unlocks, so your Aether Shards are only valuable within the Zombies experience.
Where to use aether shards in cod mobile
Aether Shards are used only in the Undead Siege Zombies mode. They cannot be spent in standard multiplayer, Battle Royale, or on any loadout items in the main menu. The sole purpose of Aether Shards is to raise the level of your Talents within Undead Siege, which improves your performance in that mode.
How to spend aether shards on talents
To spend your Aether Shards, navigate to the Undead Siege mode from the main menu. Once inside the mode lobby, locate the Talents menu. This menu contains all the upgradeable categories for your Undead Siege experience.
- Open Call of Duty Mobile and select the Zombies mode from the main screen.
- Choose Undead Siege from the available Zombies options.
- Find and tap the Talents button in the Undead Siege lobby.
- Review the available talent categories, which include Turret Weapon, Turret Armor, Weapons, Toughness, and Advanced Tools.
- Select the talent you want to upgrade and confirm the spend of your Aether Shards.
Each talent level requires a specific number of Aether Shards. Focus your spending on the talents that match your preferred playstyle, such as turret upgrades for defensive strategies or Toughness for survivability.
How to earn aether shards in undead siege
Aether Shards are earned by playing Undead Siege matches and completing in-game tasks during those matches. The more objectives you finish and the longer you survive, the more shards you collect. Aether Crates scattered throughout game maps can contain Aether Shards. Joining or creating a clan can provide Aether Shards through clan rewards and challenges.
Aether shards vs. clan wars shards
Aether Shards for Undead Siege are completely different from the "Shards" currency earned in Clan Wars. The official Call of Duty Mobile help page describes Shards as a currency earned through Clan Wars or purchased in the Clan Wars store using Clan Credits. These Clan Wars Shards have no connection to Undead Siege or its talent system. Players often confuse the two, but remember: Aether Shards are only for Zombies Talents, while Clan Wars Shards are for clan-related purchases.
