The Tempest Dynasty's 'research' often takes the form of mutations and adaptations, enhancing their units' raw power and Tempest-related abilities. Key research buildings include the Mutation Chamber and the Tempest Conduit Nexus. Prioritize upgrades that complement your aggressive playstyle:
- Thrall & Warrior Mutations: 'Adrenaline Surge' (Thrall attack speed), 'Chitinous Plating' (Warrior armor), 'Tempest Infusion' (unit health regeneration).
- Ravager & Reaper Enhancements: 'Corrosive Bile' (Ravager damage over time), 'Focused Tempest Beam' (Reaper range/damage).
- Air Unit Adaptations: 'Bio-Electric Discharge' (Stormwing area damage), 'Adaptive Camouflage' (Drone stealth).
- Base Enhancements: 'Tempest Shielding' (Nexus defense), 'Spire Overcharge' (Tempest Spire damage).
- Tactical Abilities: 'Tempest Surge' (area damage), 'Mass Mutation' (temporary unit buffs).
Dynasty upgrades often have a more immediate impact on combat, so invest in them to maintain your offensive momentum.
