Conquest Maximum Energy Cap

If you’re thinking about hoarding energy in advance of the next conquest, don’t try it - any energy above 144 will be lost.

That's not actually true, you can refresh over 144 and start the Conquest with more energy.

I did it for Conquest 9. Although there's no guarantee this will always work. There is always the risk it will reset in the future

The technical max you can achieve is 319 energy, once you pass 200 you can no longer refresh so if you refresh at 79 energy to get to 199, then refresh again you will be at 319.

Why would anyone hoard energy for conquest? Conquest completion speed run?

This is correct, they do not remove purchased energy between Conquest.

But as you can see it's also not a great savings, you are paying for it anyway and not holding that much, on top of "wasting" free energy build up using the above strategy.

I mean, there's hardly any free energy build up if you use the energy in one go once conquest starts. I actually like to start the new conquest with around 300 energy. Gives me a headstart and makes conquest a little easier to manage.

Yeah you don't actually save any crystals, the benefit is pretty minimal.

I mainly did it for this conquest to test the theory.

It would probably be good to run through Conquest if there are lots of bugs so you can get to buy extra shards of whatever the new character is before they shut down the event for fixes. That’s assuming they will have to do that again after the first 2 new sets like 4 & 7.

12 hours of free energy (because you have to finish early), vs paying for energy, you can buy at the same price later. I know it's not much, but it is a savings to use as much free energy as possible. I always kick myself when I end up with the last half a day left and no battles needed. Min/max everything!!!

Yeah, unless you are someone who is always dipping into the 100 refreshes at some point it is a net loss to refresh when not full to maximize next runs starting energy.

Interesting theory though.

That's not correct, your conquest energy carries over between events

You can buy a refresh as long as you have 199 energy or less

I've been able to basically max the first two sectors on day with only using the 50 refreshes by banking conquest energy the last two conquests

Its made this grindfest much more manageable and its given me a week off

I'd say that's a big benefit
