So I was doing my weeklies, and realized that some characters are different in CW compared to any other mode. Only one stood out, YG. She can be placed off-field and on-field for starters. Looking at the data bank, it states strangely that YG has 170 max energy both on and off-field. This is different from 180 max energy we know in every other mode.

However, when placing YG on-field, she indeed has 180 max energy in combat. Ok, well who gives?

The problem is that YG starts at 85 energy rather than 90 energy, as game normally calculates energy at the start of the battle by (Max Energy/2). 5 energy is a difference, especially when YG is an extremely ultimate-reliant character that activates Aha Instant, which can be the difference between clearing a stage and not.

Game acknowledging that YG has 180 Max Energy, yet still gives 85 starting energy instead of 90. (see for yourself in data bank)

Ok, well what if we place her off-field? When placing YG off-field, she actually has 170 energy. However, the downside is that her basic attacks only regenerate 20 energy instead of 30. On the other hand, after an Aha Instant ends, she gains 20 energy compared to the 5 you get on-field after an elation skill. This is reason #33550336 why YG should be placed off-field; she gets incredible speed of 200%/300% when 2-star/3-star respectively, and she needs anti-grav boots spamming, the best being 2 Anti grav boots and one lightning boots, making her generate more Aha Instants and more energy faster than on-field.

Max Energy is 170 off-field.

So yea, I know that other characters have energy that starts more than half of max energy, like Sparxie for some odd reason being 90/160, but this is the only character that actually has a different max energy when placed off-field compared to on-field that influences combat viability.

TLDR: YG has a different max energy off-field compared to on-field, compared to every other game mode.

This might be a bug or at least unintended, what do you think about this?

Warning: This is A TON OF YAP AND CONTAINS PAST LEAKS!

So I was doing my weeklies, and realized that some characters are different in CW compared to any other mode. Only two of them stood out, SW999 and YG. Looking at the data bank in CW, we can see that SW999 has 80 (?) max energy instead of the 60 in all other game modes. This is probably remnants of SW999's beta, where she used to need 80 MMR points instead of 60 to activate her ultimate. However, this does not take effect in battle, as you still need 60 anyways.

SW999 having 60 Max Energy despite stating to have 80 in data bank (see for yourself).

However, YG is a different story, as she can be placed off-field. Looking at the data bank, it states strangely that YG has 170 max energy both on and off-field. This is different from 180 max energy we know in every other mode. However, when placing YG on-field, she indeed has 180 max energy in combat. Ok, well who gives?

This may take resets if you want to guarantee. Here goes a bunch of yap, buckle your seatbelts!

1. Reset until Investment Environment “Long-Term Gains”. Don’t know if it’s just me, but it appears more frequently than other investment environments like contracts.
2. At 1-3, you must get a gold or prismatic investment strategy. If not, reset.
3. The investment strategy must be "Procurement Offer: Specialist" or "Procurement Officer: Gold."
4. ⁠The rest is easy. Grab a copy of 3 cost SW999 And then place her in the first slot on bench and reset until you get 3-star 5 cost SW 999.
5. Profit!

Note: If you don’t want to sit through this RNG, you can alternatively get any investment environment that has either: all prismatic investment environments, only the first investment environment is prismatic, all investment environments are gold, or the one with silver, gold, iridescence.

Extra note: if you decide to go this route, it will be very expensive, so I suggest to get the prismatic officer to save 4 gold coins every cycle.

Finally, don’t worry about HP. As long as you don’t die, when you get SW 999, you can heal, so yeah.

And as for the units to build, full elation. Prioritize YG 3-star with anti grav boots and put her off-field and SW999 with firestorm surge. If you get lucky, make aha wear firestorm surge as well.

If you made it until here and read everything, you’re the GOAT!
