Hack Portals to acquire items and resources, like Resonators, Power Cubes, and XMPs. Hacking friendly or same-Faction Portals will slightly bias for building, like Resonators and Shields. Hacking opponent Portals will bias for attacking, like XMPs and Ultra Strikes. However, be warned that opponent Portals may attack you back, draining your available XM tank.

Protip: If you run out of XM and your Map screen is glitched, tap the plus + button under your XM meter to quickly access your Power Cubes. Use a Power Cube to refill your XM tank.
