This article is a Stub, which is another word for an incomplete page.
It is either very short, or it is missing important details that are needed for it to be considered a full length article. You can help BattleForge Wiki by expanding it. |
Power
Power in BattleForge is the primary source of energy used to play cards on the battlefield.
Acquiring Power
Power is acquired through Power Wells. These can be found scattered throughout the map. They are usually in groups of two or three, and are sometimes accompanied by a Monument. To construct a Power Well, you must have a ground unit or structure close to the unreconstructed well. Each Power Well requires 100 initial power to create. After the well is constructed, you will begin to draw power from the source slowly over time.
Each Power Well has a limited supply that it can offer to the player. Once the supply is fully drained, the Power Well is rendered useless. There is at least one card that can slow the drain of power from wells: Juice Tank.
Void Power
- Main article: Void Power
Do not confuse your power pool with your Void Pool. Both of these can be seen at the top right corner of your game screen. The power pool is a constant diminishing number (bottom) that can increase if you construct more nodes on the map. Your void pool does not effect this.

The power pool is where all the energy gathered from power wells is stored. It is displayed at the top right hand corner of the screen, and has 2 other displays that lead into it. The number inside is the amount of power you currently have at your dispossal. There are also two displays beside the power pool that show how much power you are getting.
First, is the well pool. The number inside the well pool is the total amount of energy your captured powerwells will produce. The number in the arrow that is pointing from your well pool to the power pool is showing how much energy/second is draining into your power pool. The number inside the well pool can be increased by capturing new wells.
The second display is the void power pool. The void pool is energy reclaimed when your units die, when you use a unit ability, or cast a spell. It also drains back into your power pool. The arrow pointing from the void pool to the power pool has a number inside it too that shows how much energy/second is draining into your power pool.
Both rates of draining for the pools will increase as the number inside that specific pool increases.
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 nowhere. (Striker's Looting 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.
LP - lost power, power that it threw out of the cycle.
Lines
A - constant flow from Power Wells to your usable power. It's rate is 1 power per second per each well.
B - power gathered by additional means.
C - playing a Unit or a Building and constructing a Monument 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 Creature 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 and rounded to nearest whole number.
G - leftovers from E and D are lost.
Percentages
| Action | Amount transfered to VP | Amount transfered to LP |
|---|---|---|
| Unit dies (D) | 90% | 10% |
| Building is destroyed (D) | 90% | 10% |
| Power Well is destroyed (D) | 0% | 100% |
| Monument is destroyed (D) | 0% | 100% |
| Spell card is played (E) | 90% | 10% |
| Activated ability is used (E) | 90% | 10% |
| Toggled ability is used (E) | 100% | 0% |
| Building is repaired (E) | 100% | 0% |
Battleforge has been revived by a group of passionate players and developers under the name Skylords Reborn
It is a fully functional, community-made, non-profit and completely free-to-play relaunch of the game. The relaunch has been worked on for several years, and receives regular updates.
