A Glance at New Mech Dimension Research Part 1

Research is an essential part of Mobile Strike. Lately, we have seen multiple new research trees join us in the Mech Dimension. These new researches bring a plethora of stats and new abilities to make our lives in the Mech Dimension better.

From Titan Troops to Battlemark stats these items are evolving the game as we know it. Some of this research has brought old familiar things back and all of it provides great stats to boost our builds.

For a comprehensive look at Research in the Mech Dimension before what is covered here and tips and tricks to reduce your research costs be sure to read:

Prioritizing the Newest Research

The Newest research will need its level of prioritization. Prioritizing this research will allow you to be able to figure out how to work it in among any older Research you are still working to complete. If you are looking for a guide on how to prioritize the older Researches please go back and read The Essential Mech Research Guide.

We will cover more in-depth on how to prioritize the newest researches later, however, while you look through the information provided on these new researches be sure to keep an eye on the stats offered.

For each combat stat, we will list the max amount available when you max the research. Knowing what each research offers for your playstyle and how much will be essential when it comes time to decide where to spend your resources first.

New Research in the Mech Dimension

Research is continually expanding in the Mech Dimension. It continues to give us new research with stats to continually increase our strength. Since Advanced Troop Research was released we have also seen the following research join us in the Mech Dimension:

1. Mechanized Ascension
2. Mercenary Combat
3. Voyager’s Rewards
4. Mechanized Battlemarks

Each of these researches has something that makes them unique and today we will begin to cover these researches more in-depth so you can feel more comfortable navigating the newest research.

Mechanized Ascension Research

Mechanized Ascension Research is unique in that it has minimal prerequisites to be able to move to the next research. Once you have unlocked a research you can pick and choose where you want to level. For example, say that you have minimal ascension materials and you are looking to increase your attack.

You can take Base Defending Attack from level 1 to level 10 even if the rest of the research is only at a level 1. This is a research tree that allows you in that sense to pick and choose your stats. To unlock the research you simply need to have the previous researches at Level One.

Materials Needed for This Research

To complete this research, you will need three different materials that can be obtained from packs and various events at times.

1. Mechanized Ascension Research Chip I- This material is used for the researches above Max Titan Troop Capacity
2. Mechanized Ascension Research Chip II- This material is used starting at Max Titan Troop Capacity and everything above Control Point Deployment Speed
3. Mechanized Ascension Research Chip III- This material is used starting with Control Point Deployment speed and for the rest of the research from that point.

Mercenary Combat Research

Mercenary Combat Research rounds out our troop choices in the Mech Dimension. This research tree brings back the fun of Mercenary Troops for the Old School Mobile Strike Players who remember the days of Regular, Advanced, and Mercenary Troops.

Materials Needed for this Research

To complete this research, you will need Mercenary Combat Research Chips. The costs and prerequisites for this research are very similar to that of our Advanced Troops so be sure to review that article if you are looking for more information.

It is important to note, if not, self-explanatory that research is very important when it comes to your troops and the more you have done the stronger your troops will be. Also, if you go back to some of the basic concepts we addressed with Advanced troops this remains the same for Mercenary Troops.

Recall as said in the Advanced Troops Article (Rewritten to apply to Mercenary Troops):

1. Mercenary Troops are stronger than Advanced Troops.
2. While this is the case if you look closely at the Mercenary Research Tree you will notice that the stats added are not Mercenary Specific.
3. What this means is that if your stats are not high enough there are situations where Advanced Troops may beat Mercenary Troops.
4. Early Adopters of this feature can get substantial stat increases that will allow them to have a high level of success.
5. However, what this also means for traps is that there is still the ability to defend as you work to increase your research.
