Research is performed through the use of the Academy building. It is used for unlocking new troops and traps, both standard and strategic, as well as wild troops. Research also provides additional benefits such as extra troop attack, defense, health and other stats, increased resource productions, and many other boosts, buffs and debuffs to enemies.

Research normally takes a lot of time and resources, so it is quite a vital part of success that the player joins a helpful alliance to get support for their research. Speedups become vital for higher tier's of research, as they can begin to take well over 50 days to complete, so it is recommended to save as many speedups as possible for these massive research timers.
