Energy is a resource used by certain champions instead of mana, displayed as a yellow bar. Unlike mana, energy has a fixed maximum cap that doesn't increase with level, making resource management crucial during combat.

Base energy stats:

• Maximum energy: 200 (Shen has 400)
• Regeneration rate: 10 energy per second (50 per 5s)
• Full regeneration time: 20 seconds (40 seconds for Shen)

Champions that use energy:

• Akali
• Ambessa
• Kennen
• Lee Sin
• Shen
• Zed

Key characteristics:

• Energy regenerates faster than mana
• Cannot be depleted over time like mana
• Limited maximum pool creates strategic constraints
• Ultimate abilities don't cost energy
• Ability costs often decrease with level
• Champions have energy refund mechanics

Ways to increase energy:

• Akali's Twilight Shroud (increases maximum energy)
• Crest of Insight buff
• Presence of Mind rune

Energy restoration abilities:

• Akali: Twilight Shroud
• Kennen: Mark of the Storm and Lightning Rush
• Lee Sin: Flurry
• Shen: Shadow Dash
• Zed: Living Shadow

Notable facts:

• All ninja champions use energy
• Lee Sin is the only non-ninja energy user
• Returning to spawn restores energy percentage-based
• Previously, Dominion mode had increased energy regeneration (12/second)

Energy champions must carefully manage their resource during fights, as depleting their energy pool can leave them unable to cast abilities for several crucial seconds while it regenerates.
