Skill Tree

The Skill tree provides various bonuses based on where in the tree the player decides to spend their research points. The tree is accessible on the right side, just below the leaderboard, or by pressing R.

After opening the menu the player will see the tree is divided into 10 trees. These trees are Transport, Mining, Storage, Health, Walls, Lightning Tower, Arrow Tower, Cannon Tower, Damage & Criticals, and Factories. Each of these trees provides bonuses into their respective field along with several special perks.

Each Tree can be divided into three types of skills, Dots, Hexagons, and Perk Hexagons. Dots are basic bonuses that increase the player's ability by a small amount but increase to massive amounts when they are all researched. Hexagons are larger improved versions of dots, providing large bonuses for a higher price. Perk Hexagons are the most expensive but provide a powerful perk that can drastically improve a player's ability to survive the night.

Research Points:
To gain skills a player must earn skill points and spend them inside the tree. Every morning starting on wave 3 a player will earn one point if they survive the night, and an additional point if they defeat a Dread Lord. The number of points a player has will be displayed on the Skill Tree button inside a green circle or inside the menu in the bottom left next to the exit button.

With these points, the player can invest them into skills and gain those skills bonuses. Dots cost 1 to 3 points depending on how far down the tree the player is. Hexagons cost 5 points and Perk Hexagons can cost anywhere between 15 to 50 points.
