Heroes

Heroes are characters that provide bonuses to your city, troops, and expeditions in Whiteout Survival. Each hero has a rarity, a class, a sub-class, and two sets of stats: Exploration (used in the story/dungeon mode) and Expedition (used in alliance vs. combat modes).

Hero Attributes

Rarity

Heroes come in four rarities, which reflect their overall power and availability:

Rare — Four base heroes available from the start. Easier to obtain and upgrade.
Epic — More powerful heroes from Seasons S1–S3. Require more shards to upgrade.
Legendary — Premium heroes from Seasons S4+. Significantly stronger stats and skills.
Mythic — The rarest heroes (e.g., Norah). Highest stats and most powerful abilities.

The seasonal heroes (Epic, Legendary, Mythic) are released in seasons based on how many days have passed since a server's creation date. Each season adds 3 heroes (one per troop class: Infantry, Lancer, Marksman).

Class

Each hero belongs to one of three military classes, which determines which troop type they buff:

Infantry — Boosts Infantry troops.
Lancer — Boosts Lancer troops.
Marksman — Boosts Marksman troops.

Sub-Class

Each hero also has a sub-class that defines their secondary role:

Growth — Boosts city development and resource production.
Combat — Boosts combat stats.
Support — Provides healing or defensive bonuses.

Stars & Tiers

Heroes are upgraded through a combination of star levels (1★ to 6★) and tiers (Tier 1 to Tier 6). Each upgrade level requires a specific number of hero shards. Total shards required to fully upgrade a hero: 715.
