****파워 큐브**** were developed by Dr. Oliver Lynton-Wolfe working for the Niantic Project as devices that store Exotic Matter (XM) in a way that was previously unavailable. They are levelled items that contain concentrated Exotic Matter (XM). When an Agent's XM tank is depleted through deploying, recharging 레저네이터 , counterattacks, and other game actions, he or she can instantly refill some XM reserves by using a **파워 큐브**  from the Inventory.

The amount of XM contained in a **파워 큐브**  depends on its level. Like 레저네이터 , Ultra Strikes Ultra Strike, and XMP 버스터 , a **파워 큐브**  obtained through hacking tends to be near the Portal's level or the Agent's Access Level, whichever is lower.

Standard **파워 큐브**  are of "매우 흔함" rarity. Like other items, they have levels corresponding to the Agent. While the item's listed rarity matches that of 레저네이터  and XMP 버스터 , **파워 큐브**  drop considerably less often. Community studies estimate that one **파워 큐브**  is dropped every three item rolls. Also available is the Hypercube, which is considerably less common.

## XM Capacity

Eight levels of **파워 큐브**  exist, each containing XM proportional to its level. As of the 1.93.1 update, **파워 큐브**  can also be recycled for the same value as their capacity.

## Usage

Tapping the 'Use' button within the Inventory screen consumes the **파워 큐브** , granting its full XM value to the Agent. Any excess XM beyond the Agent's tank capacity is wasted.

During the 1.93.1 update, the recycle value of **파워 큐브**  increased from 2% of the usage value to 100%. This also allows Agents to 'bulk use/recycle' **파워 큐브** .

As of 1.94.0, **파워 큐브**  can no longer be used if the Agent's XM tank is full.

## Strategy

**파워 큐브**  fuel extends Ingress sessions, sustaining intense play with powerful items for hours. Any Agent intent on deploying hundreds of 레저네이터 , destroying dozens of shielded Portals, or recharging a wide area in one trip must manage his or her **파워 큐브**  efficiently, or risk running out of XM. All items are worthless without the XM to activate them.

**파워 큐브**  are particularly crucial for recharging Portals, an extremely XM-intensive action. A single 레벨 8​ Portal could easily require five 레벨 8​ Power Cubes to recharge, and the cluster could contain 20 or more Portals.

Defending a Portal under continuous assault requires a massive cache of **파워 큐브** . An Agent fending opponents off a key Portal could consume 20 or more **파워 큐브**  per minute.

Attacking also requires a supply of **파워 큐브** . The high XM cost of powerful XMP 버스터 , combined with strong counterattacks from the Portals, rapidly saps the attacker's XM. A steady supply of **파워 큐브**  is required to recover and continue the assault.

Because any excess XM is lost, savvy Agents will intentionally deplete their XM reserves by remotely recharging Portals prior to using **파워 큐브** . This way, the excess XM is returned to the faction's assets instead of wasted.

## Hypercube

### 리사이클 용량

160 XM

Unlike normal **파워 큐브** , the **Hypercube** has a rarity of 매우 희귀함. It has considerably more XM than a standard **파워 큐브** . Instead of replenishing your XM reserves in a single large quantity, the cube instead actively replenishes your XM store until it is depleted. Unlike normal **파워 큐브** , the Hypercube can be used when your XM tank is full; however, it cannot be used when another Hypercube is being used.

When used, a small bar appears under your XM reserve bar, with the model of the Hypercube next to it. This bar will actively regenerate your XM reserves according to your needs until it is depleted. When the Hypercube reaches 10%, you will hear an audible warning. However, the Hypercube cannot be used as an extension to your XM tank, thus preventing you from performing actions that go beyond how much XM you have. Upon being completely drained, the cube will disappear from your inventory.
The amount of XM in a Hypercube is proportional to your level.
