Adamkarma he/him Posted October 11, 2022 Posted October 11, 2022 What are the best and worst three Shards at predicting the future? From your opinion
Returned he/him Posted October 11, 2022 Posted October 11, 2022 Fortune, Cultivation, and Autonomy are my top three. With an honorable mention for Preservation. Fortune because future sight seems fundamentally tied into her powers in some way. Cultivation because it aligns well with her portfolio of causing things to grow and develop. Autonomy because her focus on independent, unilateral action allows her to push events towards the future(s) she wants. And Preservation just because his long-term, Rube Goldberg-esque plans actually came off just as he intended.

As for the question I also think Endowment has to be good at seeing the future, since we actually see that happening with the returned. Same with Odium. I agree with Returned that Cultivation and Autonomy are also probably good at this. 1
StanLemon Posted October 13, 2022 Posted October 13, 2022 Preservation and Cultivation have proven to be good at it. Honor is the worst that we've seen.

I blame the ever-increasing capitalization of terms in the Cosmere. I guess I'll have to move Preservation up to my top three then!
