Great news trappers. The defense tree was created for you guys. Let's take a look at it.

Defense Tree: Great for 250-600M trap accounts

MZ has released a new defense research and it is worth researching as fast as possible. Although, it requires you to have Academy 21 done. The boosts are excellent but the tree adds a lot of power to your account so it's for higher power trap accounts.

Benefits of the Defense Tree

If you are a trap account and you haven't researched the new defense tree, you need to asap. All the bigs will have it done, making their rallies that much stronger.

• Individual troop defense, when maxed, will double your individual troop defense from 131% to 262%. Your overall troop defense will double as well!
• Out of all the trees it's one of the cheaper ones.
• For T4 players you have an advantage over T3, T2, T1 because they cannot research the tree without academy 21. (Although a T3 account can have academy 21 if they want)

Cost of Defense Tree

The new tree isn't costly, which is nice for a change. I was able to complete all the new research with only one $100 pack. The pack included 75 x 3 day speeds and 5 x 30 day speeds pack.

It took 2 kvks to complete when the kvk was giving 5 points for research. It also only took 3 infernos to complete the kvk doing the new research and if timed properly you will gain anywhere from 500k gold to 1 mill gold in the process.

Note: Always remember to do research, building, and training in bursts as much as possible in order to win event rewards.

As for the times to complete, they aren't bad. If you have the best possible normal research gear and at least a 10% research boost, the longest level 10 research after max helps is roughly 225 days. Completing each level 10 research category will give you an additional 6 mill power.

If you pick the right infernos, the ones that give back 5-7 x 30 day speeds, you should be able to complete the entire new research on one pack.
