Timing on use of Shot of vigor: Like Deb I use it with Seekers Star and Folio when I have them. However I wait until I know I am about half way through a round and will likely level up, so that I can continue playing on full energy for the second hour. At my level my rounds are at approx 28,000 points and quota is high enough, at almost 600 units. I might need to top up with a waffle or two, but it really milks the full value from the SS and Folio. If you are at lower levels, a SoV plus folio will probably level you up on its own, especially if you are playing rooms with anomalies, ie dont dispel. The points really add up when doubled, if you play with anomalies. If you have a few spare stone hearts, this is a good time to deploy them.

Remember the Shot of Vigor makes the cost of playing any room zero units, and is good till the very last second, since all you need to do is press explore to play the last game for free.

The other artefact to use for lots of energy is the Golden Chicken which instantly awards full quota, then regenerates at ten times normal rate. Another good artifact to play with that is the Forged Mask, since it awards the hard to get winding keys, and these allow you to create Fire Crystals for more energy later on.
