'''Hero EXP''' (Experience Points) is the resource used to level up [[Heroes]] in Whiteout Survival. Leveling heroes improves their skills and overall effectiveness.

== Overview ==
Each hero has an experience level that can be increased by spending Hero EXP items. As a hero's level increases, their skill values become more powerful and new skill tiers may unlock. Hero EXP is distinct from Hero Shards — EXP levels the hero, while Shards promote its star rating.

== Sources of Hero EXP ==
Hero EXP can be obtained from:
* **Daily login rewards** — Small amounts given each day
* **Quest completions** — Both daily and main story quests
* **Event rewards** — [[Bear Hunt]], [[State vs State]], and other events
* **Alliance gifts** — Alliance leaders can distribute EXP items to members
* **In-game store** — Hero EXP packs available for Gems or real currency

== Hero EXP Items ==
Hero EXP comes in item form:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Item !! EXP Amount
|-
| Small Hero EXP || Low
|-
| Medium Hero EXP || Moderate
|-
| Large Hero EXP || High
|-
| Premium Hero EXP || Very High
|}

Higher-tier EXP items are rarer but much more efficient.

== Level Caps and Star Ratings ==
Hero levels are capped by the hero's current star rating. To level a hero beyond the current cap, you must first promote them by spending [[Hero Shards]]. The progression is:
* 1★ → Level cap at a low threshold
* 2★ → Higher level cap unlocked
* 3★ → Further increase
* 4★ → Significant cap increase
* 5★ and beyond → Maximum levels available

This means star promotion and EXP leveling are both required for maximum hero power.

== Prioritizing EXP ==
Since Hero EXP is a limited resource, spend it wisely:
* **Prioritize core heroes** — Focus on [[Smith]], [[Eugene]], [[Cloris]], and [[Charlie]] before leveling utility or situational heroes
* **Level heroes evenly with their star tier** — There's no benefit to having more EXP than your current star cap allows
* **Promote before leveling more** — Always spend available shards to raise the star cap before spending more EXP

== Tips ==
* '''Don't waste EXP on capped heroes:''' If a hero is at their star level cap, spending more EXP is wasted — promote with shards first.
* '''Focus on your main four:''' The four core heroes (Smith, Eugene, Cloris, Charlie) provide the most city-wide value — max them first.
* '''Collect EXP daily:''' Small amounts from logins and quests compound significantly — claim them every day.
* '''Use EXP before events:''' Some events score points for hero leveling — save a batch of EXP items to spend during these events.
