How to Use Anima Shards in Stranger of Paradise

Anima Shards are used to increase your experience with a specific job. You can use these shards in the Job Tree screen to give you a boost in level and allow you to unlock more skills on the Job Tree.

To use Anima Shards just find the nearest checkpoint cube if you’re in a level and open the Job Tree screen. From there hit the Triangle/Y button to open the Anima Shards screen and then select how many shards you want to use. Each shard is worth 4000 experience.

Once you’ve used the Anima Shard, the experience will be put into that specific job so make sure you’ve selected the job you’re looking to level up. After that, just apply the skill points as you normally do.

You can get Anima Shards by finding them in different levels of the game, or by helping out friends in multiplayer.
