The Archon of Rebirth was a favorite symbol of knights who wanted to forge a better world. Her armor was most frequently found among knight-errants or elite warriors with a specific mission .
Codex
Phoenix empowers your ability to Ignite enemies and inflict massive amounts of Fire damage.
- Wildfire Strike uses your Charged Heavy Attack to consume Ignite from an enemy and spread it to nearby enemies
- Way of the Phoenix offers you a second chance at life, reviving you with half your Health when reduced to 0 Health, filling the health bars of all nearby allies, and unleashing a shockwave that deals Fire damage and blinds nearby enemies.
- Breath of Fire stores Ignite damage to be unleashed through a Petrifying Slam, dealing Fire damage to all in its path
- Soul of the Inferno allows you to collect a Flame Charge every time you inflict Ignite, granting additional Fire damage when performing Weapon Techniques

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.
