Very rewarding
The best, or possibly quickest and least reliable, way of getting energy will be through quest rewards, campaign progression, and your daily log in bonus. When moving through the campaign you may occasionally get rewarded with energy, same with quests. Alternatively, you might receive gems, which you can buy energy with. You won't be prompted to open your daily chests and grab your log in bonus, so make sure to do those every time you log into the game.
