If one person were to start and maintain a chain by themselves what would be the highest possible number of hits they could make before all of their cooldowns culminated in the chain breaking?

Not sure if I'm missing something here but how are you getting 2.4 hits an hour with natural regen? Personally I get 30 energy an hour... even on valentines day that's a solid 2 hits. Also you cant regen much …
depends ;-)
Haha yeah I realise more now that I have posted that you could also factor job points that provide E into this... If someone had enough stored it could be continuous.
The calculation I did got me to 74 without job points or voracity.

well, we would need to look at what we can do.
assumptions:
no job points
No special events
you use:
xanax - 7h average cooldown, 0% chance on od
FHC
you get:
1 hit an hour with fhc
1.4 hits an hour with xanax
1.2 hits an hour by natural regen
0.25 hits an hour by a refill
for a total of 3.85 hits an hour.
you need to do 12 hits an hour (asuming you hit every time at 1 sec left)
so you lose 8.15 hits an hour worth of energy (which is 203.75 energy)
you can start with 1000 energy stacked
and 0 cooldown (with max of 48h) so worth 1200 energy
so you start with +- 2200 energy. and then the above calculation for cost per hour after (yes, i am ignoring some small things, but i am lazy)
so that leaves 2200 energy / 203.75 energy.
means you can last about 10h and 48min
So this will give you 41 hits on the time regen alone (xanax and fhc, refills etc.)
and another 88 hits with your starting energy
for a total of 129 hits

First off, not including Inactive Refills
top of head sources for energy.... assuming the chain would be started sometime before Daily Reset to take advantage of it. also assuming during Valentine's Day event (15e attacks) and using Ugly Energy book for 250e Refills. assuming working on a 10* Farm too
1000e stacked from xanax (can't use another xanax due to Love Juice)
500e from Point Refills before and after
1250e from 5 FHC
1400e from Farm special used before and after Daily Reset
250e from seasonal newsletter
4400e right there.... so 293 attacks, not counting any natural energy regen. go with 4 minutes per attack = 15 attacks per hour, so just under 20 hours.... Meaning 3 more fhc could be used, at least another 50 attacks and 3+ more hours. With some natural regen, at least 360 total attacks
maybe other Book and Company combinations can do better

Thank you so much for breaking that down for me and doing the maths I was far too lazy to do!
This is actually very intriguing to me and would really love to experiment with this sort of thing a bit more but it would require a very free day and a lot of dedication.

if you make a hit every 4mins, you need to make 360 in 24hrs or use 9000 e
Per 24hrs:
you have natural E (720), refill (150), 1 can every 2hrs (540), 3xan (750), you could stack like suggested above (1000), use cans with a faction booster CD of 48 hrs (2160) = 5320e out of a needed 9000e or 59%
You would last 14hrs 10mins and 48 seconds :)

small mistake on the "faction booster CD of 48 hrs (2160)" part, that should be 1080 energy (24 cans)

Also you cant regen much during a solo chain as you use a xanax and need to space the attacks out I assume in order to not lose it. So no regen there.

yeh, lol. brain fart. let me edit
yeah you're right, so that would be a very expensive & tiresome 11 hrs ~30mins.(not including lost e from being above 150e at times).
Crowd chaining > Solo Chaining
Crowd chaining > Solo Chaining
If timed you will get 2 refills, as well as if doing faction boost could do job specials as well farm would be another 1400 e(again timed for 2 days worth) or booster reduction not sure which would result in more hits
Unsure of exactly how much a player can regen on a solo chain, but after shooting their Xanax wad they could regen one attack every 50 minutes (assuming donator or subscriber) by slow rolling attacks with alternate energy sources (cans and/or job specials)
All depends on how many free refills you have, if you're on a book (2x cans book in a 10-star Restaurant for example) and your MCS dividend luck.
You can also get a ton of extra attacks in during the Trick or Treat event with the right basket upgrades.

A typical faction with +48hrs CD & +50% bonus to energy drinks would be sure to attract fellow chainers
Then the question becomes is it better to space the attacks out for getting regen on xanax and booster cooldowns back or to burn the energy and do natural regen

I'm assuming the chain is during Valentine's Day event and under the effect of Love Juice the entire chain for 15e attacks, so unable to take more Xanax during the chain
If you don't mind.....How's the math look on my Valentine's Day / farm / Ugly Energy / fhc's strategy?
I can do over 120 in a burst of energy in 1 shot, without really trying to get the maximum amount, you could probally do a solo 250 with the right setups etc.
