Lord Rush Academy Research & War Academy Guide
In the Lord Rush (Lordrush) Academy, prioritize construction speed, research speed, and march capacity nodes in the development branches first, then invest in combat research for Infantry survivability and Archer damage. Save research speedups for scheduled kingdom event stages.
- Unlock construction speed, research speed, and extra march queue technologies early to accelerate all account progression.
- In the combat research branches, prioritize Infantry Defense/Health and Archer Attack/Lethality before rounding out Cavalry nodes.
- Always wait for alliance help requests to fill before spending research speedups during event scoring days.

Development vs. Combat Research Priority in the Academy
Upgrading research speed and construction speed nodes in the Academy early reduces the time required for every subsequent building and technology upgrade on your account. Once your core development and march queue nodes are established, focus on combat technologies that buff Infantry frontline durability and Archer backline damage.
Timing Research Speedups with Events
Long Academy research timers are a major source of points during Age of Renewal and Empire of Power preparation stages. Start long research upgrades ahead of time and use your research speedups when the corresponding event stage is active.
Lord Rush: Optimal Meta Play vs. Common Resource Traps
- ●Use Sebastian (Gen 1) or Jack (Gen 2) as your primary Bear Hunt rally starter.
- ●Place Hyeri, Miko, or Rita in the far-left joiner slot so their 1st skill buffs the entire rally.
- ●Prioritize Archer Lethality and Infantry Health when spending Forgehammers and Mithril.
- ●Do not place utility or defensive heroes in the far-left joiner slot during Bear Hunt.
- ●Avoid spreading Forgehammers evenly across all 12 gear pieces instead of focusing your main 3-hero march.
