My understanding is that the only way to get cubes are... 1 Buy them 2 Natural regen 1 per hr 3 Gain a level (you need to spend quite a bit of energon for high levels) 4 Lucky raid encounters of '???' bosses You've overlooked a few key techniques - the methods as above plus:

A) As you suggested, when you level up (xp) you automatically receive 3 battle cubes; or more accurately, you're maximum capacity of 3 cubes is immediately filled, regardless of how many cubed you had. Consequently, you should ensure you always expend all your cubes just before levelling up. Episodes often involve furious levelling. 1st hitting a boss grants a purple (energon) cube, which buys mission runs, which generates XP, which powers you toward the next level (and 3 more cubes). On reaching a new level, player will 'bank' his three cubes (turn them into recharges) buy 1-cubing or finishing a boss

B) During an episode, cube recharges are granted at points-tiers (see episode rewards / points rewards). Keen players power through these tiers quickly, accumulating the rewards along the way.

Early in the event (when bosses are low power and reward tiers easily reached), heavy hitting players will 1-cube bosses consistently for the first few days, generating many energon charges and levelling frequently. With this combo of levlling, rewards, ?? bosses and natural regen, it is quite achievable to gain 150-200 cubes in the first 2 days of an event. The top players may provide some more specific numbers here?
