Players are seeing substantial super energy refunds in Destiny 2, with even six kills and a 100+% total super energy leading to roughly a one-third refill per cast for many supers, and certain builds or combinations boost refunds further.

Given Bungie’s move away from major patches, the likelihood of nerfs or balancing fixes is low, meaning PvE abuses could persist while PvP balance work slows.

A highly potent discovery in Iron Banner battlegrounds features a 4-piece Battalion armor set that refunds super energy on final blows, potentially making it the strongest option for regen in PvE.

Astrocyte Verse on the Warlock pairs with Dark Blink Seekers to generate roughly 66% super refunds even without eliminating a super, showcasing a unique, non-kill mechanic for energy regeneration.

Concrete examples show the ceiling of refunds: Shards of Galanor can exceed 50% per cast, Gathering Storm with Raiju’s Harness can reach 80–100%, and Nova Bomb with Skull of Ahamkara can yield full refunds under certain sequences.

Overall, there’s a skeptical view that further fixes are coming, while pointing to powerful, unforeseen PvE interactions that could reshape play without official balancing.
