The Slaanesh tech tree consists of technologies that unlock new advantages throughout the game. Research takes place constantly, but the rate at which discoveries occur can be increased by using heroes to spy or building additional research buildings at your settlements.
Slaanesh's tech tree is divided by 6 Scents of Technology with 6 techs each. Some of the techs have specific requirements, such as having built a certain building or researching technologies within the Scent.
