Tips that save runs
- Flow and Primed Flow: your bonus is a share of maximum Energy, so more capacity means more start Energy.
- Free mod capacity: each unused capacity point adds 5 Energy to your starting Energy.
- Missions where you die and revive: the bonus applies again when you are revived.
- Starting Energy is the base amount plus 5 per free mod capacity plus your maximum Energy times the mod bonus.
- It applies when you enter a mission and when you respawn or revive.
Mistakes that waste runs
- Running it on Harrow, who gets full Energy without it.
- Filling every mod slot when free capacity would add Energy too.
