Best Heroes to Build
Heroes decide most fights, so they are where your shards and books matter most. Free players get the most value from heroes with steady free shards: Jessie, Sergey, Patrick, Gina, Jasser, Zinman, Flint and Mia. For joining rallies, the first Expedition skill of Jessie, Jasser or Jeronimo adds damage to the leader's whole march.
The hero tier list ranks heroes by generation, and the leveling guide lists the shards, books and Widgets each step costs. The newest heroes in the database belong to Generations 18 and 19: Jordan, Nikola, Aisha, Balor, Luca, Aurora.

New to Whiteout Survival
Your city grows around the Furnace. Its level caps every other building and decides when heroes, research, pets and Daybreak Island open, so most early decisions come back to the next Furnace upgrade. The Furnace guide lists what each level needs.
- Follow the chapter missions and keep the Furnace upgrading.
- Join an active alliance early for help, rallies and events.
- Redeem every new gift code and save gems for the events that score them.
- Bind your account in Settings so your city is safe if you change phones.
The beginner guide covers the first days in detail, and the alliance guide explains ranks, Alliance Tech and help.
Download Whiteout Survival
The game needs Android 7.0 or later, or iOS 13.0 or later, and runs on Windows through Google Play Games. The download page lists every official link and the PC guide covers the Windows requirements.
