Academy

In the Academy, you can research one of twelve different technologies that provide bonuses for your character and your team of warriors. Researching works similarly to building upgrades, but uses a different resource and has a separate cooldown.



Research Requirements
Researching costs Kyanite. The first level of each technology costs 50 Kyanite, and each level after that costs (10*(tech level - 1)) more Kyanite than the last, so the formula is [(5 L^2) - (5 L) + 50], where L is the next technology level. In addition, researching has a cooldown - you can only research one technology at a time. The cooldown increases by 30 seconds per level for levels 1-10, by 5 minutes per level for levels 11-15, and by 10 minutes per level for levels 16 and above (VIP eliminates the cooling time). From level 50 to 60 the cooldown increases by 20 minutes per level, from level 60 onwards by 30. The Academy level cannot be higher thanTown Hall's level.

Tip: It is recommended to have HERO Attack, PDEF and MDEF at the same level of the actual toon, where afterwards HERO HP, Troop Attack and PDEF/MDEF/HP, and gold production, can be upgraded at leisure.

At level 51, a second page of the Academy unlocks with a new skill. Additional skills unlock after that. The first level of each technology costs 250 Kyanite, and each level after that costs (50*(tech level - 1)) more Kyanite than the last, so the formula is [(25 L^2) - (25 L) + 250], where L is the next technology level.

Academy needs to be level 60+ to unlock levels 21-40 of those skills, academy 70+ to unlock technology levels 41-60 and 80+ to unlock technology levels 61-80.

Blessing Wheel
Blessing wheel is a new feature inside the Academy introduced in 1.67 patch update. The wheel can be used when the player reaches level 41 and may be spun as many times as a player wishes (until reaching a 200% bonus) with each spin costing 2,000 Kyanite. Players can obtain up to 200% in bonuses to all Academy skills. Boosts are reset at 05:00 server time.
