Best KingShot Advanced Research Guide: Maximize Power Without Ruining Your TG9 & TG10 Progression

The latest update in KingShot has introduced a massive expansion to the War Academy: the highly anticipated Advanced Research tab. While initial rumors suggested this update would introduce T12 troops, that is a myth. Instead, this update brings 92 new technologies and nearly 77 million raw power to the game.

However, diving blindly into the KingShot Advanced Research tree can severely cripple your long-term account progression. This comprehensive KingShot guide will break down all the hidden costs, reveal the best free-to-play (F2P) strategies, and provide a step-by-step roadmap to ensure you safely unlock TG9 and TG10 troops.

Before choosing your next upgrade, browse the complete Kingshot Advanced Truegold Research Tree to inspect every branch, prerequisite, effect, resource total, research time, and technology detail page. When you are ready to compare current and target levels, use the Advanced Truegold Research Calculator to build your upgrade plan.

Section 1: The Reality Check – Total Costs of Advanced Research

Before we talk strategy, we need to look at the math. Completing the entire Advanced Research tree is designed to be a long-term progression path (similar to Master's Research). It is not something you can complete in a few weeks.

If you want to max out the entire tree, the total base requirements are staggering:

• 8.61 Billion Bread & Wood
• 1.72 Billion Stone
• 430 Million Iron
• 172.35 Million Gold
• 625,000+ Truegold Dust
• 21,000+ Tempered Truegold
• Over 14,775 Days of base research time (over 40 years)

The Golden Rule of Advanced Research: The real question isn't whether this research is good. It is how far you should push it without delaying your TG9 and TG10 troop unlocks. Rushing too deeply into this tree will leave you completely broke when it's time to upgrade your troops.

Section 2: Early Node Benefits & Quick Wins (F2P Friendly)

The very beginning of the Advanced Research tree is cheap and offers fantastic return on investment (ROI) for all players, especially F2P and low-spenders.

By investing in the early nodes, you can unlock:

• Bonus Truegold from Daily Missions
• Extra Truegold from Beast Hunting (a massive daily advantage)
• Increased Training Speed and Capacity
• Increased Infirmary Capacity and Healing Speed

The Most Important Early Node: Limited Supply

As you progress through the early nodes, you will hit a critical technology called Limited Supply. This node gives you access to half-priced Truegold Dust exchanges. Instead of just 20 exchanges, maxing this out will likely allow you to perform 40 half-priced exchanges. This is a mandatory upgrade for an optimal Truegold economy.

Warning for F2P & Low Spenders: Once you pass the Limited Supply node, the tree branches into Cavalry, Infantry, and Archer Attack nodes. From here on, the costs skyrocket. Upgrades for Lethality and Health only start at Level 5 of these nodes, making them extremely expensive investments reserved mostly for mega-whales.

Section 3: The Safety Net – Hoarding for TG9 and TG10

To understand how to budget your resources, you need to know exactly what the future holds. A player recently contacted KingShot support regarding the release of TG10, and support confirmed it is roughly 168 days (almost 6 months) away for newer servers. You have time, but you must start saving now.

To safely unlock your future troops without getting stuck, you must secure your Safety Net before blowing your resources on deep Advanced Research.

Here are the exact milestones you need to save for:

• TG8 to TG9 troops: 417 Tempered Truegold and 2,961 Truegold
• TG8 to TG10 troops: 1,441 Tempered Truegold and 6,969 Truegold
• TG8 to TG10 + Command Center (recommended): 1,654 Tempered Truegold and 8,000 regular Truegold

Section 4: Step-by-Step Advanced Research Progression Strategy

How do you balance getting the new research buffs while saving 8,000 Truegold? Follow this exact step-by-step KingShot strategy:

Step 1: Farm Early Nodes with Natural Dust

Continue progressing your account through TG8. Use only the Truegold Dust you acquire naturally to complete the early stages of the Advanced Research tree.

Step 2: Maximize Truegold Production Fast

Your first major goal in the Advanced Research tab is to max out Truegold Production. This requires only about 32 days of research speedups and 1,947 Truegold Dust. This is a very small investment compared to the whole tree, and it creates compounding value for your account over the months you wait for TG10.

Step 3: Prioritize Dust Production (With Extreme Caution)

After Truegold production, aim for Truegold Dust production. This requires about 50 days of research and 2,983 Truegold Dust.

Crucial KingShot Tip: Do not convert regular Truegold into Dust at full price. Always use your coins to buy Dust, and only use the discounted conversions. Regular Truegold is the most important currency for your future TG10 troops.

Step 4: Finish Your T11 Foundation

Before going any deeper into Advanced Research, make sure you have fully completed all three T11 troops, their upgrades, and the level 6 healing reduction nodes for T11.

Step 5: Build the Safety Net

Stop pushing expensive Advanced Research until your inventory safely holds 1,654 Tempered Truegold and 8,000 regular Truegold.

Step 6: The Endgame Push

Only after your TG9 and TG10 materials are 100% secured should you begin investing heavily into the deeper, highly expensive Advanced Research nodes (like Lethality, Health, Rally Capacity, and Squad Deployment Capacity). At this stage, you can safely push for that 77 million power increase.

Conclusion

The new KingShot Advanced Research system is a marathon, not a sprint. The game is designed to bait you into spending your precious regular Truegold on dust conversions for short-term power gains. Don't fall for it.

Play smart, secure your early production buffs, hoard your regular Truegold for TG10, and dominate your server in the long run. Log in, check the new Advanced Research tab, and start optimizing your KingShot account today.
