Conclusions
- You cannot cheat the timer. You must wait an equal amount of time that the actions cost. However...
- The timer can cheat you. If your first action has a high cost, you wait until you almost have your bonus back, then do a small cost action. Any leftover time in the BonusTimer is lost.
- Higher stats do not let you do more actions or queue up more points. It simple refills your Pool and BonusTimer faster. Therefore...
- In burst mode, someone with 0 stats can do just as many actions as someone with high stats. The difference is the higher stat player will be ready to burst actions sooner.
- If you are fully recharged, you are guaranteed 2 actions, regardless of the cost.
