Aegishorn
This fearsome carapace armor was worn by Valorians who valued defense over offense. It was a favorite of those Valorians who sought to protect their world.
Codex
Aegishorn offers improved survivability, decreasing incoming damage and granting abilities that let you stay in the fray.
- Every time you block or parry, Aegis Strike stores damage in a Vengeance Meter. Fill at least 50% of your Vengeance Meter to deal damage to enemies in a straight line with your Shield Bash and knock them down.
- Way of the Shell uses your Overhealth against enemies, unleashing extra damage when you use Weapon Techniques
- Beetle Technique allows you to parry Red Power Attacks and gain Overhealth in the process
- Stasis Banner allows your Banner to periodically inflict Stasis on all enemies inside your Banner Aura. Gain Overhealth every time you damage an enemy in Stasis.

Shards

What the Codex says about Shards
Valorplate Shards · Codex, Valorplates
Valorplate Shards are items that grant powerful abilities. They can be equipped on the Shards tab of the Valorplate screen, where each Valorplate has 4 unique Shards to choose from. You can save a different Shard configuration in each Loadout to better coordinate your Gear and Skills.
Shards can be unlocked by completing special objectives while using the Valorplate that the Shard belongs to. You can view each Shard in the Armory to see their unique traits, as well as the objectives required to unlock them. Once unlocked, each Shard can be upgraded up to 5 times in the Forge, increasing the strength of the Shard's traits. Higher level upgrades require you to first collect a minimum number of total Shards.
Collecting all 4 Shards for a Valorplate will cause the Valorplate to become Ascendant, providing the Valorplate with an additional passive ability. Fully upgrading all 4 Shards for a Valorplate will cause the Valorplate to become Exalted, providing the Valorplate with yet another passive ability.

What the Codex says about Augments
Augments · Codex, Character
Enhance your Valorplates by inserting Augments into their unique Augment Constellations. Augments have 3 possible Affinities: Red, Green, and Blue. They can only slot into neutral or matching nodes. Each Augment has a Power Drain amount. Your total Power Drain cannot exceed your Valorplate's Power Capacity.
Augments can be equipped and saved as part of your Valorplate's loadout. Each Valorplate has a different Augment layout, so be sure to experiment to find a configuration that works best for your build.
