That's my understanding as well (Destiny)

I've seen people get annoyed when receiving them over armour. Hopefully this will help people realise they're pretty important if they haven't already!

I'm still a poor ass 22 and haven't used them. What exactly do they do, if anything?

Ascendant energy is used for weapon attack upgrades, and ascendant shards for armor defense (and light) upgrades. Shards are more important since these upgrades are the only way to get your level up.

Dismantling legendary weapons gets you energy, dismantling legendary armor gets you shards, and dismantling exotics seems to be able to give you either.
