Energy System FAQ

What is Energy for?

Energy determines the number of battles a user can play. While modern and wild formats share an energy system, frontier format energy stands alone. Survival format uses no energy and instead removes defeated cards from survival play.

*Wood league does not require energy.

How Does the Energy System Work?

• Each account will automatically be allocated a maximum of 50 energy
  • Frontier energy is separate from modern and wild energy, which is shared. 
• Each ranked battle will use 1 energy
• Energy regenerates at the rate of 1 energy per hour. 
  • Note the timer that appears below the energy bar

• The amount of Energy a player has does not impact the amount of rewards they can earn.

  • Once your energy is depleted, you will not be allowed to play unless additional energy is purchased. 

• Frontier energy can only be regenerated or won in advancement chests.

• Players may purchase additional modern and wild energy per day with DEC/DEC-B tokens, Glint, Cinder, or Credits.

  • The cost scales up by 50% after every 25 additional energy purchased per day.

  • The timer on these additional energy purchases resets at midnight UTC.

• DEC used to purchase energy is burned.

• Credits that are used to purchase energy will have an equivalent amount of DEC burned. 

• Energy purchases require the Posting Key. 

• Modern and wild energy can now be obtained via Rewards Shop Loot Chests.

  • Energy found in chests will be added to your energy balance. Your balance can exceed 50 energy.

  • Only if your balance sinks below 50 energy will it automatically regenerate - regardless of where it was before opening chests.

*Energy replaced the previous Capture Rate (CR) system: Announcing a New Energy System for Splinterlands Ranked Battles.
