What Does Energy Drain Do?
Racket Rivals energy drain speeds up your team while slowing opponents down. That movement gap matters in a fast-paced 3v3 rally, where reaching the shuttle keeps your side in the point. Use the advantage to cover open space and send opponents chasing returns.
Energy Drain belongs to the legendary Awakening lineup. Its effect works on both sides of the matchup: your team gains mobility while the opposition loses it. Build your play around that difference by moving into position early and placing shots away from defenders.
The effect benefits your teammates, too. Coordinate your court coverage so the extra speed helps your side reach more returns without everyone crowding the same spot.

How to Unlock Energy Drain
Awakenings come from spins at the floating Awakening NPC. You can earn Awakening spins through gameplay rewards and redeem codes.

To pursue this legendary:
- Collect Awakening spins through gameplay or code rewards.
- Visit the floating Awakening NPC.
- Use the Awakenings list to increase your chances of getting the Awakening you want.
- Spend your spins on Awakening rolls.
The system guarantees a legendary Awakening every 80 spins. That guarantee applies to the legendary rarity, so keep the distinction in mind when rolling for Energy Drain specifically.
Treat a quick unlock as luck. One short run of spins is no reason to expect the same result from your next attempt.
How to Use the Speed Advantage in Matches
Press 2 to activate your Awakening. The 1 key activates your ability, so keep those inputs separate when a rally gets hectic.

Make the movement effect count with these plays:
- Activate when court coverage matters. Use the speed boost when your side needs to reach open areas and stay in a rally.
- Place returns away from opponents. Make slowed defenders travel across the court instead of sending the shuttle straight back to them.
- Spread out with your teammates. Cover separate gaps so your team can use its movement advantage across the court.
- Keep repositioning after each swing. Move back into useful coverage instead of watching your return from the spot where you hit it.
Keep Q, the dash input, ready for repositioning. Practice reaching the shuttle with your movement controls while keeping your Awakening key within easy reach; activating the effect and returning the next shot still require separate inputs.
