Drops from: World drop in Mid-game zones. Drop rate: 1-2% (community-reported).
Plan a 30-60 minute farm session at this drop rate. The most efficient route is to run the boss back-to-back with a fast-clear build; loot pile rolls every 6 kills on average.

Cryo slows enemies and triggers double-damage on crit through frozen targets. Strong against Pearlescent farms where you want to extend the boss's exposed-crit window.
The natural fit for Shroudshear is Vex's Phasewalk tree (frozen + backstab combo). Stack the relevant capstone before farming the deeper raid tiers — the build planner at /builder/ lets you preview the synergy.
A epic sniper like Shroudshear earns its spot when the rest of your kit covers the gaps it leaves. Pair it with a close-range crowd-clear option for inevitable swarm waves. See our walkthroughs for boss-by-boss build recommendations.
