¶ Energy
Energy is a type of currency that players can use to accomplish things in a Virtual World. It can be used to execute certain actions, such as summoning Overvehicles or activating a Tower.
Once the energy is released (for example, after dematerializing an overvehicle), it will go back to its virtual world of origin.
¶ Sources
Energy can currently be obtained in three ways:
- Deactivating towers (exact amount varies depending on the virtual world)
- Virtualizing to a virtual world (100 energy points)
- Destroying Monsters (exact amount varies depending on monster type). Sentinels grant a x1.5 energy bonus.
It is possible that these actions do not grant any energy if a Software Attack prevents it from happening or if the virtual world ran out of energy.
Xanafied players can also steal energy from other players by devirtualizing them.
¶ Quantity
The amount of energy a virtual world can hold is dictated by its amount of available towers multiplied by 100. The only exception to this rule is the Cortex, whose only tower singlehandedly grants it a capacity of 500 energy. If a sector is destroyed, its towers will become unavailable and they will no longer provide any energy to the virtual world's reserves.
For example, Lyoko has 41 towers, meaning it can hold 4100 energy. However, if a surface sector is destroyed, 1000 energy points will be lost.
¶ Sharing
¶ Virtual Menu
You might find yourself short of energy while your friend has plenty. It is possible to share energy with each other through the Virtual Menu.
Access the Virtual Menu and click the lightning button. There you can select a player to send energy to, and specify the amount.
You can't send energy to another player if:
- You are not in the same virtual world.
- Your target is not virtualized.
- A software error prevents it.
¶ Supercomputer
It is also possible to send energy from the lab using the Supercomputer's reserves, as it can store up to 500 energy (usually used in conjunction with the Remote Tower Control program.)
To accomplish this, you can open the warrior's Communication Card actions and use the "transfer energy" option.
To recharge the supercomputer, you can use Sector Five's interface to send all the energy you currently hold to its storage.
¶ Checking
There are three ways to check how much energy you currently hold:
- The Virtual Menu, by hovering over the lightning bolt, which will show you your total amount of energy.
- The /lw info command, which will show you a detailed list of how much energy you have and what type they are.
- Right-clicking on the left part of the tower health scan will show you the same list as the /lw info command.
As for the supercomputer, you must use the Supercomputer Status program.
¶ Trivia
- Before the energy rework update, the concept of “free energy” existed, which was energy that could not be transferred and would disappear on release. It was created as a result of virtualization in a drained virtual world.
- Some events have used energy as an objective to obtain in a quest, like to open the access to the Cortex Core.
