Recovery Resource: TopBar Energy
TopBar energy is enables one of ZeroSpace's comeback/anti-snowball mechanics -- it is required for using your TopBar abilities. These powerful active abilities are massively helpful in turning the tide of battle. You get TopBar energy in two ways:
- Slowly, over time. This gives you some topbar energy at the beginning of the game
- When your units die in battle, you get an amount based on their supply (25% of total unit supply lost as energy)
This means after suffering a devastating attack (and, indeed, during the attacks), you have more access to your topbar abilities. They won't turn a battle around for you, but they will help you stabilize and recover from an attack and give you the opportunity to get yourself into a better position.
