Energy Points

Energy Points is a stat from Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. Energy Points are equivalent to Technical Points from Final Fantasy XIII where the player accumulates points to fill TP bar segments to perform techniques. However, the EP system differs from the TP system in that EP bars are of the same cost, while the TP bars had longer bars on level 2 and 3, resulting in spending longer times accumulating TP gauge segments.

Certain treasure spheres require usage of Energy Points in order to be opened.

The starting amount of EP is 5, but that number can be raised. Completing main quests for Luxerion and Yusnaan earns Lightning 1 EP each.

Charging the EP gauge can be done via numerous ways: defeating enemies, Knocking them Out, and defeating.
