Anyone else feel like this game is too energy expensive?

I may be beating a dead horse here, but something needs to be done.


I get one bar of energy in the morning from what accumulates while I'm sleeping.  That lasts about 5 minutes, and then I'm done for the day.  I can't play until quests reset at 4.  I'd like to play all day, but I can't.  Why would I spend money on shards when I can't even play?  I never had this problem with other similar games like summoners war. And I know I'm not the only one who is constantly out of energy.  And a full bar of energy is a joke.  With double xp farming 12-3 on brutal it's barely enough to max level 3 2-star champs.

Please either double our energy bars from 130 to 260, or halve the cost of energy refills from 40 to 20. I don't mind paying for shards and other shiny things, but I shouldn't have to pay to play. At the end of the day, once our shards are spent, we're all free players.

Well, there are ways to make the energy last longer.  It's an RPG, so our choices matter.

The energy is an utter joke. I’m not F2P by any means and that’s fine but with this pandemic going around, I’m making a personal choice to penny pinch for a few weeks thus not spending money on this game, and it’s unrealistic that any F2P player can enjoy this game. Just my 2 cents. I’m picking and choosing and hoarding my energy at this point but the energy or lack there of will be the downfall of this game eventually, I think. Plarium swears you can thoroughly enjoy this game being F2P... wrong... and with as many salty people on the forums griping about legendary drops, it’s just a matter of time until this game is irrelevant which is a shame because it’s actually enjoyable. It is what it is though.

Well, if that's how you feel, that's how you feel.  I won't argue with you.

I agree. Once you get to a certain point, you need more energy than in the beginning.  They do a good job of getting you hooked the 1st 90 days, then you are kind of stuck. Pay or go home... LOL. Other option is to create a 2nd account and see if you can do better the 2nd time around.


I'd even be a happy with a "practice mode" in dungeons and arena.  There is no energy cost, but also no rewards. Can practice with different teams, and try that level you just can't be. Or test team synergy in arena. Or test the bad AI in arena to see how your team actually defends.

It’s just a lose lose. End game = CB unless you do plat arena. CB is fine, get your 4 daily keys and get your rewards but it’s to the point I don’t even want to open shards because it’s so energy expensive to level food. Thousands of energy to get a 6 star rank 6 and you get like 300 energy a day. It’s the only downside to this game. As an ex high end game wow raider I don’t mind the RNG. I don’t mind the hours grinding for one piece of gear. But when you have limited resources to even allow you to do any of that, it’s a problem. Charge for packs, fine. Charge for extra gems and shards, fine. But the energy issue needs to be addressed and it sadly never will. I don’t mind spending money on this game for “extra things” to make it enjoyable but I will not spend money just to play the game unless they finally come to their senses and release a monthly pass for energy or something like the blizzard pass in WoW.

You can upgrade your Sparring Pit to help with leveling food/raising chickens.  Though you might want to upgrade the Mine first.  Though, to be honest, I certainly wouldn't mind the option of starting your own Chicken Farm.  It would only produce 1 or 2 star chickens at first, of course.  You'd have to invest gems to get to the point where you could raise four or five star chickens.

Not a bad idea. The energy and time is takes to max out one champion doesn’t really equal the f2p mentality that plarium swears by. I’m just throwing out opinions. Personally it’s whatever as I’m just building and hoarding gems and energy at this point but I think improvements could definitely be made, but I doubt it. We will see.

We can always hope.  And even dream.

We need more energy per day or more energy refill rewards per day!

It's not meant to be free to play 24-7. You get about 45min of joy per day (clan, arena, dungeon, faction wars)

Why would it be so wrong to increase the energy bar AND recovery rate? 

This post is correct, its not free to play, not even pay to win, its actually pay to play .

Plarium please increase the energy bar and recovery rate. Or decrease the energy cost of playing, as you wish...

I totally agree whit the one of you asking to increase energy bar & recovery rate, or also the idea of chicken farm is nice, but they need to provide us a better experiences playing their game, and imho those are nice ways to do that.
