As of writing, the only consistent way to obtain Cognitite Shards is through Weekly Tasks.

How to Use Cognitite Shards

Open your Bag from the menu and select the Cognitite Shards. Exchange it for a Cognitite and then choose one of the 5 Star Characters available.

Should You Save Cognitite?

Depends on the Character

You should save your Cognitite if you're waiting for a character to release, especially if they have great abilities or high damage and will surely get on top of the Tier List.

If you already have Joker or Marian, it's best to use it on them as they will still be relevant for a good while. You can also save the shards up for Makoto Niijima (Queen) once she gets included in the cognitite roster.

Some Characters Will be Added in the Future

Some 5 Star Characters will be added for a Cognitite in the future. As of writing, only Makoto Niijima, Yusuke Kitagawa, and Yumi Shiina are the ones announced to be included in future updates.

What is a Cognitite?

Increase Awareness Level of Characters

Awareness

Cognitite is an item that can increase the awareness of an owned character. You can get a Cognitite by trading 60 Character Cognitite Shards, which you can get through weekly tasks.

This will help you upgrade your characters without having to get another copy of them in the Gacha Banners.
