Combat and Defense Research Guide

One of the most crucial aspects of World War Rising is research. Within the Research Facility you will find research for many aspects of gameplay.

Research requires RSS and Speed Ups (or Gold). Each individual Research also has a Command Center pre-requisite. There are five categories to Research. In today’s article, we will discuss four of these; Combat, Defense, Hero and Missile Strikes. A future article will cover the economic tree and best uses to maximum your build.

Combat

Missile Strikes

The Missile Strike tree is where you research the different types and levels of missiles. Each missile research unlocks a new type of missile or missile level. Missiles are used for targeting other players, syndicates, RSS Tiles, and delivering resources to your alliance members. For more about these click here.

When researching, make sure you wait for all your helps from your alliance! This decreases the timer and reduces the number of speedups needed (or the time you have to wait to start another). Also, be sure to be gathering at all times from the RSS piles to help add to your resource stockpile, and hit Events and Syndicates for more speeds.

Research is critical in World War Rising. It’s someone no one can take from you, even if your troops are all killed. Be sure to take advantage of it!
