The item shines in builds that convert XP motion into damage or tempo. Its most reliable pairing is with Shattered Knowledge, which turns moving XP shards into damaging projectiles as they pass through enemies.
XP shards slice through enemies. When Sucky Magnet pulls shards toward you, you get periodic screen-wide chip damage without aiming.
Boosts pickup radius and enables the unlock path for Shattered Knowledge. Useful alongside Sucky Magnet for smoother XP flow.
More XP gained per shard = more level tempo. Great for snowballing when magnet pulses pull in clusters.

It periodically pulls nearby XP shards toward you, which helps you level more consistently without backtracking.
In a single run, fully charge every Charge Shrine on the map you are playing. Once done, the item is added to your pool.
