How to earn Kingpin Dethroned Trophy Shards in Marvel Rivals Blood Hunt

There are only two ways you can earn Kingpin Trophy Shards in the Marvel Rivals Blood Hunt event:

The best and primary method for farming Accessory Shards is playing Nightmare 20 or higher levels. They have a chance to drop whenever you dive into battle in these extremely difficult trials.

The second method for obtaining Accessory Shards is clearing certain one-time Blood Hunt event achievements. This item is offered as a reward for completing some event tasks, including all of the following challenges.
- Clear Nightmare 20 or above for the first time – 10 Kingpin Dethroned Trophy Shards
- Clear Nightmare 40 or above for the first time – 10 Kingpin Dethroned Trophy Shards
- Clear Nightmare 60 or above for the first time – 10 Kingpin Dethroned Trophy Shards
- Clear Nightmare 80 or above for the first time – 10 Kingpin Dethroned Trophy Shards

To unlock the special golden version of the Kingpin Dethroned Accessory, you need a total of 100 shards. This is quite a lot, so it’s best to focus on slowly chipping away at this goal over time rather than trying to rush through it. The golden Accessory is meant to be more of an endgame prize rather than one you get early on.

You can use your Kingpin Dethroned Accessory Shards to craft the golden Accessory once you have 100 of them. To do so, click on the Prepare option within the Blood Hunt event, switch over to the Overview tab, select the Craft Accessory option in the bottom right corner, then spend your shards to make this exclusive item.

Once it’s made, you can then equip it on any of the characters featured in this event. The heroes who can wear this item include Thor, Squirrel Girl, Moon Knight, Jeff the Land Shark, Blade, and The Punisher.

If you need a change of scenery from the seemingly endless waves of vampires taking over the city, consider switching over to regular gameplay to check off some achievements, like Deal Canceled, Cellblock Chat, Shark to Shark, and Secret Stash.

There’s a host of different stats in Vampire Crawlers that will define your chances of completing a specific stage. If you’ve played Vampire Survivors, you’ll be well familiar with most of these stats. If not, then you can refer to the following section to understand what each attribute means.

Vampire Crawlers stats explained

The table below briefly explains what every stat means so that you can always stay on top of your deck’s strength and prowess.

Stat	What it Does
Max Health	It raises your Max Health by 10% per rank. You’ll still need to heal and restore your health after increasing the cap.
Recovery	Heals 1 HP per rank after each encounter. Extremely useful to passively restore your lost HP after every completed battle.
Hand	Determines the number of cards you’ll pull when a fresh turn begins.
Mana	Raises the max mana available for you to use.
Armor	Nullify all incoming attacks. You gain +1 Armor per rank, and also increase it by playing Armor cards.
Might	Raise the base damage of all weapons by 10% per level.
Area	Dish out AoE damage from your attacks, which increases by 10% per rank.
Amount	Adds extra projectiles for your weapon cards.
Duration	Allows you to increase the duration of your Crawler’s stay by one per rank.
Magnet	You can draw extra cards per turn.
Revival	Get extra lives.
Luck	Raises all positive stats, along with increasing the quality of your drops. It increases by 20% per rank.
Growth	You can get extra XP.
Greed	You’ll get 10% extra Gold Coins per rank.
Reroll	You can reroll your draw to try and get other options. You get +2 reroll choices per rank.
Skip	You can skip level-up rewards to get extra XP and Gold.
Banish	You can banish cards that you want to avoid from showing up on your run.
Curse	A negative stat that will amplify the damage of your enemy’s attacks. However, you’ll get more XP and Gold.

Typically, the Power Ups you use will have a direct impact on the stat values of your current run. When you upgrade a Power Up, it will permanently raise the applicable stat for your character (the buffs will be available across all runs). However, your attributes will also depend on the cards you draw and the crawler(s) you use.
