The Ultimate Guide to Choosing Heroes in Whiteout Survival: Insights from Miyagi

Unlock the secrets to hero selection in each generation with expert advice from Miyagi.

Introduction

Struggling to decide which heroes to invest in for each generation of Whiteout Survival? You're not alone. At Packsify, we're passionate about helping players like you optimize your gameplay experience. That's why we've teamed up with Miyagi, a renowned expert in the Whiteout Survival community, to bring you this comprehensive guide based on his latest insights.

Whether you're a rally leader, a rally joiner, a free-to-play player, or a modest spender, this guide will help you make informed decisions about hero selection. Let's dive in!

Understanding Your Role

Rally Leaders vs. Rally Joiners

Rally Leaders are players who initiate attacks against enemies. If you're a rally leader, it's essential to aim for maxing out the newest heroes to lead your alliance effectively.

Rally Joiners are players who join rallies initiated by others. As a rally joiner, you don't need to max out your heroes. Focus on getting key heroes to four stars to unlock crucial skills, especially the top-right skill in their skill tree.

Knowing your role will help you allocate resources efficiently.

The Importance of General Shards

General shards become increasingly significant after Generation 1. Here's how you can acquire them:

• Daily VIP Rewards: Starting at VIP Level 7, you receive one general shard per day. Higher VIP levels grant more shards.
• Special Events: Participate in events like the Justice Bazaar to earn additional shards.
• Avoid Using Gems: We recommend free-to-play and low-spending players save their gems for other strategic uses instead of buying shards.

Tip: Consistently log in to maximize your daily shard collection.

Hero Recommendations by Generation

Generation 1 Heroes

Heroes: Zinman, Molly, Natalia, Jeronimo

Prioritize:

• Natalia: A budget-friendly offensive hero, excellent for rally joiners and versatile in various game modes like Bear Trap.
  • Acquisition: Obtainable up to VIP Level 6.
  • Role: Offensive specialist with lasting utility.
• Jeronimo: An exceptional offensive hero who remains viable up to Generation 7.
  • Acquisition: Available after VIP Level 7 and through the first Hall of Chiefs event.
  • Role: Offers significant offensive boosts and has a valuable rally skill.

Avoid:

• Zinman and Molly: These heroes offer limited long-term value and aren't worth significant investment.

Arena Lineup Suggestion:

• Frontline: Natalia
• Infantry Support: Sergey
• Lancer: Jessie
• Marksman: Cho Rossi or Ling Shuang

Building a balanced team early sets the foundation for future success.

Generation 2 Heroes

Heroes: Flint, Alonzo, Philly

Focus On:

• Flint: The Lucky Wheel hero, making him accessible to free-to-play and low-spending players.
  • Acquisition: Obtainable through the Lucky Wheel using gems or purchased spins.
  • Role: Solid infantry hero with staying power.

Consider Skipping:

• Alonzo: Requires significant investment and offers limited benefits for rally joiners.
• Philly: Useful but challenging to acquire unless your server excels in events like King of the Icefield (KOI) and State vs. State (SVS).

Strategy: If resources are limited, focus on Flint and save for future heroes.

Generation 3 Heroes

Heroes: Mia, Logan, Greg

Recommended:

• Mia: The Lucky Wheel hero for Gen 3. Versatile for both rally leaders and joiners.

  • Role: Lancer hero with strong attack capabilities.
• Greg: A solid Marksman hero obtainable through KOI and SVS events.
  • Acquisition: Requires saving items and performing well in KOI and SVS.
  • Role: Long-range damage dealer.

Strategy:

If you've invested in Flint, consider saving your resources to acquire Greg. This gives you a balanced team of:

• Infantry: Flint

• Marksman: Greg

This lineup sets you up for success in various game modes.
