Laboratory Strategies
To maximize your research speed, consider these points:
- Research License: If you are a serious player, getting the Research License at HQ 30 for the second Lab is the best investment you can make.
- Power Spikes: Notice the jump from Level 29 to 30? You gain nearly 1 Million Power just from that single upgrade.
