What's wrong with 0 energy starts? we had energy drain in 2021 in abyss. current year abyss spoilt you with its multiwaves that shit out a million energy due to hp tresholds giving you 0 iq rotations that only deviate when the enemy throws a shield check at you.

Honestly the new mode isn't even that tough on energy when you know it's something you have to account for, you just aren't used to actual energy management gameplay anymore or teams that allow for more flexible rotations than char1>char2>char3>char4
