- Best Items to Research? -

       This one is entirely up to you, research what you think is important! In the end, you will end
up researching every possible topics to unlock other items anyway. If you have trouble getting Shield Points, ask your friends to gift you some or visit them in-game. Here are some examples on what other players prefer.

Tasks or Quests
     - Simply because some items must be researched to fulfill tasks.

Usable Items
     - There are players that research for consumable items for healing, buff and debuffs, but
since most of the usable items can be gained from enemies, it is still wise to research them to unlock other items like Uniforms and Weapons for your Agent.

Isotope-8 Technology
     - To start researching ISO-8 items, you must research the "Mysterious Ore" first.
     - Most players research ISO-8 to unlock higher tier ISO-8 items. Equipping the item on the
Agent and Heroes will increase their stats, making them more powerful in combat.
     - Try to get ISO-8 items that will increase your heroes' weaknesses. At later game, increase
their weaknesses and strengths for better performance.
     - Socketing ISO-8 is permanent but you can discard existing ones and replace them.

Gears or Weapons
     - The easiest way to gain weapons is by purchasing them from the Store, and to unlock those
weapons, you need to research them first!
     - As a starter, here are some recommended topics to research to get weapons with high
critical rates. Criticals will give you a chance to get Command Points, thus more Hero to recruit!

     - [Advanced Blades] to unlock the [Katana] weapon!
     - [Tactical Pistol] and [Machine Pistols] to unlock the [S.A. "Ambush"] weapon!
     - Note that, weapon stats will go higher as you level up near to it's Power Level.
