Time flies when you’re having fun… and so can your Energy! Whenever Embla runs out of steam, you can either buy more Energy using Diamonds (available from the Shop) or wait until your Energy replenishes itself. Waiting to get back in the game can be frustrating, so here are a few tips to help you out.
Try some other game modes
As your Hero Level goes up, you’ll open up some fun new ways to play Legend of Solgard. There’s some fantastic loot to be won and - best of all - playing them won’t cost any Energy!
New game modes are unlocked as your Hero Level increases:
Treasure Caves (level 5)
Bounties (level 6)
The Dungeons (level 7)
Hero Arena (level 8)
Boss Arena (level 11)
Underworld (level 12)
Playing these modes can even earn rewards, such as Ability Dust and Idol Molds, that aren’t available in Campaign mode, so these are definitely worth a try!
Level up
Gaining a Hero Level doesn’t just boost your stats and unlock new game modes - leveling up instantly refills your Energy! It can also increase Embla’s maximum Energy level, which allows you to play for longer.
Leveling up requires XP, which you earn by winning battles. You’ll also gain XP every time you upgrade a Creature, or claim a reward for completing a Daily Quest. Keep an eye on your XP bar, so you can level up at the optimum moment. Only a few points away from your next Hero Level? Spend as much Energy as you like, because you’re about to get it back!
Look out for live events
Just like the game modes we mentioned earlier, special live events don’t cost any Energy to play. These events pop up from time to time on the Campaign map - play them before they disappear!
Treasure Hunts are a great way to earn Gold, while Rainbows give you the chance to grab some Epic Sun Gems. Winning these events will even count towards the “5 Times the Hero” Daily Quest, scoring you even more Gold and XP. Sometimes you’ll even see special versions of these events, which can help you unlock new Creatures. All with no Energy required!
Diamonds and duels
The easiest way to avoid the wait is to get more Energy using your Diamonds. But did you also know that you can win Diamonds from the treasure chests in Hero Arena? You’ll have to fight hard for them (of course!), but there are plenty of other advantages to playing this mode.
Hero Arena provides stat buffs, which give you a boost in the main Campaign. It’s also a great place to test new battle formations and tactics. Plus, the cooldown times apply to individual matches, not the Arena itself, so there’s nearly always someone to challenge!
Pick your battles
Different battles consume different amounts of Energy - the higher the level, the more Energy it costs to play. If you’ve got time for a quick battle, but you don’t have quite enough Energy to play the next one, you can always replay an earlier level to win a small amount of loot and XP.
Remember - whenever you lose a battle, you’ll be given back some of your Energy. This helps to cut down the waiting time until you can try again.
While you wait…
Waiting for Energy doesn’t mean you have to stay out of Solgard altogether! There’s always something to do on our site while you prepare for the next epic battle!
