Research provides a plethora of stats within the Dragon Dimension so it is important to know the basics about your different Research Trees.
If you did not get a chance to take a closer look at the previous article, please sure you go back and do so. Also, for an even closer look at Research, we will provide you with a list of links covering various aspects of Research within the Dragon Dimension.
Prioritize your Research in the Dragon Dimension
A Glance at New Dragon Dimension Research Part 2
New Dragon Dimension Research
Research is continually expanding in the Dragon Dimension. It continues to give us new research with stats to continually increase our strength. Since Strategic Troop Research was released we have also seen the following research join us in the Dragon Dimension:
- Draconic Ascension
- Wild Combat
- Voyager’s Rewards
- Draconic Battlemarks
Last week we were able to discuss Wild Combat and Draconic Ascension Research. This week we will be focusing in on Voyager’s Rewards and Draconic Battlemarks. In addition, we will give you some quick tips on how to prioritize the newest Research.
Voyagers Rewards Research
Voyager’s Rewards is our newest Rewards Research. There are multiple places you can get items for this research from events to packs. This tree provides nice boosts to help continue to give your Empire boosts where you need them.
This Research is divided into three sections. Each section requires a different material and focuses on different stats. To open research further down in each section, you must have achieved level 5 on the researches above.

Voyager’s Rewards research requires three different types of materials. Also, do not forget that because it is a rewards research it does use rewards speedups instead of your regular speedups. Materials needed can be found below:

- Epic Voyager’s Research Tome- This is required by the second section that begins with Empire Assault Defense and ends with March Size. This section mainly has stats that are specific to Attackers with some General Stats mixed in.

Finally, we have the newest research that is being offered in the Dragon Dimension. Draconic Battlemark Research is taking our Battlemarks out of the prehistoric status and into the present by providing stats when Battlemarking an enemy. In addition, with the release of Battlemark Research, there has also been a release of items to unlock some of the older features of Battlemarks we knew in the Demi Dimension so we can see if our opponent’s Hero is home or not.

Prioritizing the Newest Research
The Newest Research is full of great stats. However, it does require time, money, and resources to complete this research. So how do we prioritize it in the grand scheme of things? I have three realtips for you on how to prioritize the newest research.
Realtip Number One: Ensure that you have your building blocks
New research is important because of the amount of stats available in it. However, building blocks are essential as well. So ensure that you go back to the basics and work on those beginning researches before beginning to dive into the Newest Research.
Realtip Number Two: Always compare costs versus Stats
You will notice that we included what stats are available and what the stat increase is at max. However, currently, you may be able to get more stats from Research A then Research B. As Research gets older it becomes easier to get materials to complete it. So while Research A may have a ton more attack then Research B the level you can complete is important to note as well.
I may only be able to afford x amount of materials for Research B to get me to level 3 or 4 while with Research A which is more affordable I can max it out for overall more stat gains. The information button for the research is your best friend when it comes to knowing how your increases will look at different levels. Make sure you spend the time to compare and contrast.
Realtip Number Three: Know what stats you need
Knowing what stats you need and what different stats do is imperative so you are doing research that is best applicable to you. The last thing you want to do is waste materials on researches that ultimately not going to help you. We cover some of this in this article, however, for even more definitions and a closer look at stats that are applicable to you check out this series:
