Last Z T10 Research: T9 to T10 Badge Cost and Season 6 Status

Updated October 2026

Short answer: Going from T9 to T10 in Last Z takes about 1.49 million badges, based on Falcon OP's T9 to T10 guide. Push now if you fight in SvS and Canyon Clash every week. Season 6 has not launched yet. The Season Hub still shows Coming Soon, and the T11 and HQ40 talk comes from unconfirmed leaks.

Below you get the badge cost, why unlocking T10 is only the start, a push now or wait table, and what is known about Season 6 so far.

How many badges does T9 to T10 cost?

Falcon OP's T9 to T10 guide (October 11, 2026) puts the full research path at about 1.49 million badges. Your own total can differ a bit depending on what you already researched. It is one of the biggest single badge targets in the game right now, which is why it became one of the most watched Last Z topics of the month.

These are simple divisions, not a promise. Badge income depends on your events, alliance and spend. If you are not sure where badges come from, our Last Z research guide covers the tech tree order.

Is unlocking T10 enough?

No. Falcon OP made a whole video on why older T10 players beat new T10 players. Unlocking the tier is the start. Players who reached T10 months ago have more troop research, more T10 troops trained and stronger heroes behind them. A fresh T10 account with thin research still loses to them.

So plan T10 as two steps: the unlock, then the research and troop count that make it hit hard. Our Last Z troop guide explains how troop types and special training add up.

Should you push T10 now or wait for Season 6?

The trap is starting the path and stopping halfway. Badges sitting in half-done research help nobody. Last Z DWD's "Age of Steel is a BADGE TRAP" video makes the same point about other badge sinks: know the full cost before you start.

What do we know about Season 6?

Season 5, Moonlit Elegy, launched on May 20, 2026 for servers 1 to 64, with Red Star heroes and 10-star awakening. As of late October 2026, Season 6 has not launched.

Treat leaks as maybes. If T11 does come, it will most likely sit on top of T10 research, not replace it, so badges spent on T10 are rarely wasted. That is our read, not an official answer.

How to get T10 faster

• Put badges into one path. Spreading them across many trees slows every one of them.
• Track your badge income. Write down what you collect in a normal month. That one number tells you if T10 is a few months away or a year-long push.
• Use every free source. Codes, events and alliance rewards add up over months.
• If you buy, buy before war weeks. Speed-ups and research help most when they are done before SvS, not during it. Our SvS preparation guide has the timing.
