What are Shards behaviours?

Question

In shard game, agents trying to move shards to the target portals by linking shard portals. But Shards have some behaviour.

What are Shards exact behaviours?

• What are the requirements to make them jump?
• Are they capable of jumping without links?
• What time they are jumping?
• What is a random jump?

Answer 1

Shards jumps in every 5 hours. To make able to move a shard, there should be minimunm lvl7 portals linked to jump.

When shard can not jump 4 times (because no link, for example) it makes a random jump, what means jump near to another portal from it's location.
