How to get the Shard of Dawn aspect in Diablo 4's Midwinter Blight event

The Shard of Dawn Aspect a brand new legendary power has been added Diablo 4'S Midwinter disease Holiday event. It features a complex buff: Night grip.

This new power increases your movement speed and attack speed under certain conditions, but can be very difficult to understand if you read the tooltip. Luckily, we're here to help.

In this Diablo 4 guide, we'll show you how to use the Shard of Dawn View and explain how the Night grip buff works.

How to get the Shard of Dawn aspect in Diablo 4

You can purchase The Shard of Dawn Aspect from Gileon's shop in Kyovashad in the broken peaks for 10 Midwinter tests.

To get Midwinter Proofs, you must exchange one of three currencies at the collection table in town: Destroyed fragments, Lost heirloomsAnd Red-coated trophies.

You can find each of these currencies in the world of Fractured Peaks during the Midwinter Blight event. Hop on your horse and ride around, killing enemies (who usually drop Blighted Fragments) and destroying the enemies Frigid Husk ice statues (dropping lost heirlooms).

The most efficient way to edit these items is in a new event called Destroyed celebration. As you drive around, look for an event where a bunch of little freaks jump in a circle around a broken cart. Kill the little freaks and interact with the cart to start the event. Protect the cart until the fire grows large enough to thaw the Frigid Husks nearby. Use this method to destroy all five Frigid Husks to get the Red-cloaked horror. Defeat this big goat boss to complete the event, collect some loot and get the Red-Cloaked Trophy.

Back in the city you can convert 300 Blight fragments, 30 lost heirloomsor one red-clad trophy in 1 Midwinterproof. Once you have 10 Midwinter Proofs, you can purchase the Shard of Dawn Aspect from Gileon.

If you need more Midwinter Proofs for cosmetics or you don't have enough for the Aspect yet, just head back to the Fractured Peaks to explore these (and maybe the “The Secret of Spring” quest while you're there), kill monsters and collect the currency that you can exchange for more evidence.

How Night's Grasp works in Diablo 4

The Shard of Dawn aspect reads like stereo instructions if you haven't progressed far enough in the Midwinter Blight event. And even then it is difficult to understand. Let's break it down.

After 30 seconds of Night's Grasp, you gain Dawn's Haste, which increases your attack speed by 25-35% and movement speed by 20% for 12 seconds. Although it is supported by the Midwinter Ward, killing an enemy reduces the duration of Night's Grasp by 1 second.

There are three improvements mentioned in that description, but it only tells you what one of them does.

Let's talk first Night grip. This is an buff that appears on your character when you are in combat and wielding the Shard of Dawn. However, it doesn't do anything. All it serves is to indicate that you do not currently have the Dawn's Haste buff active. But once you have Night's Grasp on you for 30 seconds, you will experience its benefits The haste of dawn, which increases your attack speed and movement speed for 12 seconds. Once Dawn's Haste ends, Night's Grasp returns and the cycle begins again.

Dawn's Haste is a pretty slick buff, as attack speed is desirable for most generator/spender builds and movement speed is valuable for all builds. You want to lower that 30 second window if possible. That's where the Midwinter department buff factors in the Shard of Dawn, as it shortens the 30 second cooldown between Night's Grasp and Dawn's Haste by 1 second every time you kill an enemy.

Midwinter's Ward is an improvement you can obtain from a special totem in Kyovashad, next to Gileon's shop. However, you must upgrade your Midwinter Tribute level to level 3 before it even appears in town. To gain Tribute experience and level up, simply exchange the Midwinter Blight currency for Midwinter Proofs at the Collection table. Once you reach level 3, you can obtain the Midwinter Tribute buff, which lasts about six minutes and also gives you some bonus damage against Blightfiends and the Red-Cloaked Horror.

Finally, it's worth noting that the Shard of Dawn aspect does not appear in the Codex of Power. Instead, you have to buy it again for 10 Midwinter Proofs every time you want to apply it to a new piece of equipment. So be sure to choose your equipment carefully when using the Aspect on the Occultist.
