How to use the Crystal Research Simulator

Use this tool to plan crystal technology by selecting target levels for each node. The totals update to show the crystals, season coins, and time required to reach your goals.

Click "Set Current Levels" to enter what you already researched.

Click the plus and minus buttons to adjust each tech level.

Click "Save Changes" to lock current levels and see remaining costs.

Use "Reset All" to clear everything back to zero.

Change the Crystal Research Center level to see the difference in the crystal and season coin costs.

Crystal Cost is automatically reduced by the Crystal Research Center level and the Crystal Cost buff from the technologies you have researched like Cutting Corners.

In order to move to the next, you need to upgrade the required technologies and research center level.

There will be warnings that will show up if you try to research a technology that still requires other technologies to be researched first.

Key Aspects of Crystal Technology:

Upgrade Requirement

Players must upgrade the Crystal Mine and Research Center to level 25 to maximize production and unlock higher-tier technologies.

Strategic Focus

Focus on one troop type to maximize effectiveness, prioritize cost-saving techs, and consistently chain barbarians to gather resources for research.

Meta Shift

The new system shifts toward increased defense and health, which slows down open-field combat (the "pop meta") compared to previous high-attack metas.
