grabbed esme quick, before the contest cooldown 15 minutes later, which was for battling bosses, i feel dumb but i bet quite a few more prepared players were waiting which let me get more shards, i got her with less than 100 shards left in the pool
interesting thing i saw was that i got 18 shards on my last 10 pull, luckily i needed exactly 18 more shards.
also dark lord finally lv 3, yay.
