TWE Academy Tutorial: 
What to Research First
 

New players often waste months researching the wrong things. This priority guide shows the exact order that gives you the fastest power spike and best long-term growth in Total Battle.

Recommended Research Priority (Early to Mid Game)
 

Priority 1: Logistics & Basic Economy 
Finish these as quickly as possible — they unlock faster resource gathering and construction.
 

Priority 2: Guardsmen Branch 
Push Guardsmen research hard. It directly improves your main troop type and unlocks higher G-level troops.
 

Priority 3: Archeology 
Improves crypt farming and gives huge bonuses.
 

Priority 4: Economy & Army Modernization 
These give permanent resource production and troop strength boosts.
 

Priority 5: Specialists / Engineers / Monsters 
Fill these in after the top priorities.
 

Full Early-Game Priority Order

1. Logistics
2. Guardsmen (push to G4/G5 as fast as possible)
3. Archeology
4. Economy branches
5. Army Modernization

Pro Tip Focus on one branch at a time. 
Don’t spread your VP/CP too thin. Finish a node to Level 10 before jumping to the next priority.
 

Key Takeaways

• Guardsmen + Archeology are the two most important early branches.
• Economy research pays for itself very quickly.
• Research order matters more than raw power in the beginning.
• Consistent daily research = exponential growth.
