Vortex Gaming

· The Research Center in Whiteout Survival consists of three main tabs: Growth, Economy, and Combat.
· In the early game, research in the 'Growth' tab is most crucial, as it accelerates overall base development.
· Initially, it's recommended to upgrade 'Construction Speed', 'Hospital Capacity', and 'Training Capacity' related research to level 1.

· The core of the Growth tab is to increase long-term efficiency.
· First, you should prioritize upgrading 'Tool Enhancement (Research Speed)' to its maximum of level 3. This will save an enormous amount of research time in the long run.
· Next, maximize 'Tool Preparation (Construction Speed)'. This is essential in the early game when construction is very frequent.
· After that, it's important to secure an additional march queue through 'Command Tactics (March Queue)'. More march queues mean more efficient resource gathering and rally participation.
· Upgrade 'Camp Expansion (Training Capacity)' and 'Training Tools (Training Speed)' to increase troop training speed and capacity. This greatly helps solve early-game troop shortages.
· 'Ward Expansion (Hospital Capacity)' and 'Bandaging (Healing Speed)' have lower priority compared to other research. This is because there are fewer casualties in the early game when you're not attacking much.

· The Economy tab is very important for early resource acquisition.
· It's best to first proceed with 'Production' related research, which increases in-city production.
· 'Gathering' related research becomes important when you have enough march queues to consistently gather resources from the map.

· The Combat tab has the most research and takes the longest to complete.
· The most important research is for increasing attack, defense, health, and critical rate that apply to 'all troop types'. These provide bonuses to all troops and should be completed first.
· Troop-specific specialization research proceeds as follows:

Troop Type	Priority Stats	Details
Infantry	Health, Defense	Infantry act as the frontline for your allies, so focus on health and defense.
Archers, Spearmen	Attack, Critical Rate	Archers and Spearmen are your main damage dealers, so focus on attack and critical rate.

· Other troop stats (e.g., Infantry Attack, Archer Defense) should only be raised to level 1 to unlock the next research, then invested in later.
· 'Regiment Expansion (Deployment Capacity)' allows you to send more troops in a single expedition. It's best to research this once you have a sufficient number of troops.

· Below is the recommended overall research priority in Whiteout Survival:

Category	Details
1st Priority	Growth Tab: Tool Enhancement (Research Speed)
2nd Priority	Growth Tab: Tool Preparation (Construction Speed)
3rd Priority	Growth Tab: Command Tactics (March Queue)
4th Priority	Growth Tab: Camp Expansion & Training Tools (Training Capacity & Speed)
5th Priority	Growth Tab: Ward Expansion & Bandaging (Hospital Capacity & Healing Speed) - at least Level 1
6th Priority	Economy Tab: City Production & Gathering Efficiency (to an appropriate level)
7th Priority	Combat Tab: All Troop Attack/Defense/Critical Rate/Health
8th Priority	Combat Tab: Infantry Defense/Health, Archer/Spearman Attack/Critical Rate
9th Priority	Combat Tab: Regiment Expansion (Deployment Capacity)

· Following these priorities will allow free-to-play or low-spending players to grow efficiently.
· You can slightly adjust the order based on your playstyle, but it's crucial not to miss out on core research.
