==Explanation==
 
  +
:The tutorial walks the player through purchasing scholars to perform research. Up to 5 scholars can be acquired to perform research at the same time, with costs shown below. Scholars continue researching while the player is offline and the game sends a notification when research is complete. Research can be completed instantly by spending diamonds. '''The last 5 minutes of any research is free.'''
Research unlocks upgrades and improves most elements of the game.

==='''Scholars'''===
 
[[File:Scholar.png|right]]
 
The first step in research is to get a Scholar that can do it for you. From there you can acquire more scholars to do more research at the same time. Your research basement can have up to 5 Scholars. The first one is free and the others can be purchased with gems, each more expensive than the previous one.

=='''Categories'''==
Each Scholar can do research, which take different amounts of time to perform depending on the category and rank of the subject. Even when you are offline, your scholars will do their duty, so do not worry about being offline. You can also speed up their research with diamonds. The cost to instantly finish the research is probably based on several different factors so it is very difficult to calculate the ratio. The last 5 minutes of any research is free.
 
  +
:There are 5 different categories of research:
 
==='''Kinds of Research'''===
+
==='''[[Research/Commander|Commander]]'''===
  +
:Learn how to train the commander as well as everything related to coins, embers, essence, energy, mana and the shop.
There are 4 different categories of research: 
 
  +
{{More|Research/Commander}}
*'''Commander:''' The main research section. You will find everything related to your commander, coins, embers, mana and shops. 
 
*'''Class:''' There are separate ranks, attributes and abilities that can be researched for each hero class.
 
*'''Alchemy:''' Enables you to convert embers to coins and vice-versa.
 
*'''Artifact:''' Unlock mines with Treasure Maps, get resources with Resource Cache, and with Ancestral Knowledge books, you can get runes or diamonds. Here, you will find special items that need to be researched in order to move the storyline forward.
