More actions
This ability drains a portion of an enemy's or group of enemies' energy. At higher levels, this skill transfers some of that drained energy to the player's or a player group's energy banks.
Energy Leech is a Jenquai Defender (JD) skill and, apart from the basic ship-systems skills, is probably the first skill you will actively acquire. It is gained simply by talking to Ten'Shao Anala, who is the first Non-Player Character (NPC) you will see as a JD. She is in the docking bay of the Ashanti Maru station in the JD starting sector, Europa.
There is also a mission called "Energy Leech" (see: Energy Leech (Mission)), which apparently is an alternate way to acquire the skill; this is presumably for those who did not talk to Instructor Anala when starting their career. As Instructor Anala also issues the mission which controls hull upgrades, it is unlikely however that she will be ignored for long!
How to use
Target a mob and activate; after a short activation period the mob's energy will be drained. This can be advantageous as it will deny energy to your attacker's weapons and possibly its psionic effects. At higher levels, the skill will capture and transfer part of the drained energy to you (and at higher levels your group as well, if you are in one).
