Guide to Energy in Axie Infinity (How it works, tips and tricks)
In Axie Infinity, energy is a resource that is consumed whenever players fight in Adventure (PVE) or Arena (PVP).
Can I continue to play even if I am low on energy?
What rewards do I get if I play without Energy?
Is there a way to increase my energy so that I can play more games per day?
In this guide, we'll discuss everything you need to know about energy in Axie Infinity!
What is the energy in Axie Infinity?
All Axie Infinity players have an energy resource that can be viewed in the main menu.
Players start with 20/20 energy, and playing an arena or adventure battle consumes 1 energy point.
The energy will be fully recharged each day while the server is reset.
This in-game energy system will prevent bots from exploiting rewards, and also prevent players from playing and earning too much SLP, which can be bad for the economy.
Fortunately, there are ways to increase this limit by owning more Axes. (More info on this below!)
How does the energy work in Axie Infinity?
Energy is consumed in both Adventure (PVE) and Arena (PVP). However, you can still play either mode even without energy, you just don't get some of the rewards.
In Arena, you will need energy to earn Smooth Love Potion (SLP) rewards.
You can still play PVP for fun and climb the ranks even without energy.
If you play Adventure Mode with no energy, you won't be able to earn EXP for your Axies to upgrade them.
You can still earn SLP in Adventure even without energy, but it is capped at 50 SLP per day.
Also note that if you lose an adventure game, the energy consumed will be wasted, as you will not receive EXP.
So try to avoid getting into difficult Ruin levels where you always lose - step back a bit and upgrade your Axies first!
How to increase your energy in Axie Infinity
You can increase your maximum energy in Axie Infinity by keeping more Axes in your inventory. This allows you to earn more SLP in a single day.
To do this, you just need to own a certain number of Axies.
Owning more Axes will increase your maximum energy cap which is fully regenerated each day upon server reset.
| Number of axes you own | Energy per day |
|---|---|
| 3 - 9 axes | 20 Energy |
| 10 - 19 Axes | 40 Energy |
| 20+ Axes | 60 Energy |
It doesn't matter what stats or attributes of the Axies you own, as long as you have that specific number of Axies.
Tips for using your energy efficiently
To ensure you are using your Energy efficiently, we recommend that you find your “comfort levels” in Adventure, which may vary depending on your Axie team.
Try to find the furthest Ruin level that you can comfortably cultivate without being Knocked Out, to avoid wasting your precious energy.
Eventually you'll get to the point where you can spam a certain level that will allow you to maximize your daily SLP cap.
Once you've done that, don't waste any more energy on the ruins - it's best to spend it on the arena where you can earn more SLP per victory.
Keep repeating this strategy until you hit Ruin 21, which gives a one-time bonus of 200 SLP to clear it.
This grinding process can take around 2 weeks before the game becomes comfortably easy. Do not lose hope !
Once you get past this step, you should be able to easily farm Ruin 20, which only takes a few minutes.
Conclusion
We hope this quick guide has helped you better understand how energy works in Axie Infinity, as it is one of the most important but often overlooked resources in the game.
