Whiteout Survival: Best Heroes in the Game (Tier List)

Heroes are probably the most important element in Whiteout Survival, boosting your army’s stats and overall survival (or, better said, thriving) chances. Since not all heroes are created equal, we need an updated list of the best heroes in the game.

And this is exactly what you’re getting from today’s article – my Whiteout Survival tier list plus details about the progression system of heroes, generations and their classification.

You can take a look at the list of all heroes in Whiteout Survival here, then check where they stand in the overall rankings. Let’s begin!

Whiteout Survival Hero Tier List

The golden rule of thumb here is that the latest generations of heroes (currently, generation 10) are the best in the game. However, since not all servers have access to them, you have to adapt and use the best you have. Here’s how the heroes stack up:

SSS Tier

These are the absolute best in the game. If you have any of them, make them their main focus for growth.

Hero	Strengths
Jeronimo	Exceptional in Exploration and Expedition; reliable in early and mid-game and scales well.
Blanchette	A Generation 10 Marksman with outstanding damage; equipping her special weapon further amplifies her combat effectiveness. She is also accessible through events like the Lucky Wheel, making her an excellent option for free-to-play players.
Magnus	A powerhouse Infantry hero with strong buffs and debuffs that remain effective across generations.
Bradley	High AoE damage, making him a prime choice for the Arena.

Understanding Hero Progression (Generations)

In Whiteout Survival, the heroes available to you are determined by your server’s age. Servers progress through generations, with new heroes becoming accessible approximately every 80 days.

This system means that as your server matures, more powerful heroes become available, usually better than the existing ones.

You have to adapt to these changes – and plan for them. For example, when your server is close to a new generation, you can stop investing in existing heroes if you think you can unlock better ones soon.

Wrapping up

There’s a plethora of heroes you can collect in the game, but only a few of them truly stand out. Depending on what you use them – building up your army or getting boosts for your base, you should focus on the best ones listed above.
