Energy is a special resource used by select champions instead of mana. It's represented by a yellow bar and has unique characteristics that affect gameplay strategy.

Key Energy Characteristics:

• Base maximum of 200 (except Shen with 400)
• Regenerates at 10 energy per second (50 per 5s)
• Faster regeneration than mana
• Cannot be increased through leveling
• Ultimate abilities don't cost energy

Champions Using Energy:

• Akali
• Ambessa
• Kennen
• Lee Sin
• Shen
• Zed

Strategic Considerations:

• Quick regeneration prevents long-term resource depletion
• Limited maximum energy can restrict ability combos in crucial moments
• Champions have abilities that can refund energy under specific conditions
• Ability energy costs typically decrease when leveled up

Ways to Manage Energy:

1. Energy Restoration:

   • Return to spawning pool
   • Champion-specific abilities
   • Runes (Presence of Mind)
   • Buffs (Crest of Insight)

2. Maximum Energy Increase:

   • Akali's Twilight Shroud is the only ability that can increase maximum energy

Champion-Specific Energy Mechanics:

• Akali: Can increase maximum energy with Twilight Shroud
• Kennen: Gains energy through Mark of the Storm and Lightning Rush
• Lee Sin: Recovers energy through Flurry
• Shen: Has higher base energy (400) and regains energy via Shadow Dash
• Zed: Restores energy through Living Shadow

Interesting Note: All ninjas in the game use energy, with Lee Sin being the only non-ninja energy user.
