Power Flow[]
Power flow is one of the most important things to understand while playing BattleForge. It is depicted on following picture:
Abbreviations[]
- GP - Gatherable Power, power you can gather from wells.
- AP - Additional Power, power you gain from elsewhere. (Energy Parasite's ability, for instance)
- UP - Usable Power, power you can use at a given moment.
- BP - Bound Power, power that is "bound" in your creatures and buildings.
- VP - Void Power, power in your void pool. It cannot be used until it flows back into the UP.
- LP - Lost Power, power that is forever lost.
Lines[]
- A - Constant flow from Power Wells to your usable power. It's rate is 1 power per 2 seconds per each well.
- B - Power gathered by additional means.
- C - Playing a Unit or a Building and constructing an Orb or a Power Well binds power to it.
- D - When unit dies or construction is destroyed, part of its power goes to your Void Pool.
- E - Playing a Spell, using a Special Ability or repairing a Building transfers power directly *from UP to VP.
- F - Constant flow from Void Power to your usable power, happening at a rate of VP divided by 50 per 2 seconds. With a max flow of 20.
- G - Some power from E and D is lost. (See table below)
