At the beginning of Path of Exile, your exile will have two basic resources-life and mana. They can be supplemented by simply regenerating them over time or using flasks assigned to 1 to 5 bonds. These mixtures help improve the regeneration effect. Some of them can even regenerate the statistics immediately. The amount of resources you have depends on the level, Path of exile currency, and passive tree nodes. There are also items that can be increased by a certain percentage.

On the other hand, Energy Shield is a special resource in PoE, and its role is similar to the shell that protects the user's life. This barrier will absorb any damage before your life is exhausted. It can resist all kinds of destruction, except for chaos. This special type of attack can bypass the energy shield and directly harm your health, so when your character relies heavily on this barrier, make sure you have decent health or Chaos Vaccination privileges. This passive node reduces your health points to 1, but keeps your exiles completely immune to the damage of chaos.

As we discuss resources, let's take a closer look at the flasks available in the game. We can assign different flask types in three main categories: recovery flasks, utility flasks and unique flasks. Depending on the build you are running, you might use more mixtures from the first or the other. Some players have decided to stick to one flask type throughout the game.

Recovery flasks - they are responsible for the regeneration of life and mana. They are the most common lives, and the health / mana they recover may vary. The better they are, the higher the level required to use them. Some of these flasks can significantly increase regeneration capacity, while others can immediately recover small amounts. Most players use very few regeneration players because they have more resources to recover than instant players, but they also carry at least one player who can recover health without waiting for critical moments. Most importantly, players can also find hybrid flasks that can restore life and mana at the same time.

Utility Flasks - Variety, they can provide different effects such as increasing movement speed, increasing resistance, increasing armor or evasion levels. These flasks are crucial for survival in the later stages of the game, as the drag from the device is not enough. The most commonly used shake flasks are those that provide traverse speed. It greatly improves the ability of the exile to cross Wraeclast, so this is a must-have for almost every player.

Unique Flasks - As the name suggests, their unique qualities make them more precious than ordinary flasks. They come with a variety of specialized bonuses. For example, projectile-based buildings can use sun flasks to increase projectile launches. Their goal is a unique build that can benefit from its effects, so most players would rather stick to regular games and buy poe exalted orbs than try them.
