Each player is required to spend [[Battle Energy]] to start a match, which slowly refills over time at a rate of {{BTDBF be|1}} every 12 minutes and has a maximum of {{BTDBF be|50}} by default. Players can also purchase items in the store to refill their Battle Energy and/or permanently increase their maximum Battle Energy. Entering a battle costs {{BTDBF be|10}}, unlocking the Extra Tower Slot to use five towers in a match costs {{BTDBF be|6}}, and using the Spy Ability to see the opponent's loadout before the match starts costs {{BTDBF be|1}}.
