Hey guys, I'm AverageAmasian, and this is about how to get more out of your time/level-ups in Brave Frontier

Energy
The first point I'll be talking about is your energy, which is the green bar in the upper left corner. This refills at a rate of 1 energy per 3 minutes. Your energy will also refill every time you level up. This is useful for Imp Parades and Metal Parades as the energy refill, combined with a 1/2 energy vortex event, will allow you to get many runs in.

For example, the Super Metal Parade normally costs 30 energy and gives 3000 EXP. During a 1/2 energy vortex event, it would be 15 energy and 3000 EXP. To get more runs than you normally would, get your exp to the range where you would level up doing the maximum amount of runs you can with your energy. Taking this, if I have 105 energy, I'll be able to do 7 runs of Super Metal Parade, which means I should get my EXP needed to level up to the 18000-21000 range so that when I do all the runs I can with my current energy, I will level up and be able to do 7 more runs.

Another nifty trick for doing parades in general is to stay in the parade selection screen while your energy refills. This will allow you to get one more run in. (To do this, click the banner and then wait at the screen where you see all the different parades you can choose from.)

You can also do this for trials/side-bosses, since these cost a lot of energy (50 for trials, 20-70 for side-bosses. For these, you would get your EXP needed to level up to a fairly low amount (3000-5000, or double that if there's a x2 EXP event). Once you do this, you can attempt one of the dungeons/side-bosses. If you are successful in completing it, then the EXP you get from the dungeon will level you up and you will regain your energy. If you fail, however, then you can simply beat a quest and regain the energy needed to attempt the dungeon again.

Arena
The next topic is Arena. Arena orbs refill at the rate of 1 orb per hour. These, similar to your energy, will refill when you level up. This means that you should expend all of your arena orbs before you level up. If you do this, that means you get 3 more arena battles in, which is potentially around 800 ABP. This may not seem like much, but if you multiply that by 250 levels, you'll earn 200000 more ABP than if you hadn't.

Other than that, there's not much else you can do about the arena.

Frontier Hunter
Hunter orbs refill at the rate of 1 orb per 3 hours, and unlike your energy and arena orbs, these will not refill upon leveling up. Thus, the only way to achieve maximum efficiency with hunter orbs is just to never have 3 hunter orbs up at any given time. This does mean, however, that you can't be away from the game for 9 hours or more, so generally you won't be able to do this.
