Troops Stats

Exploration / Expedition

Stats:

Whiteout Survival, troops have seven distinct stats, each influencing their role and performance in different ways. Here’s a breakdown of these stats and their significance:

Power: This stat doesn’t affect troop performance in battles. Instead, it reflects the amount of power added to your account when you train that troop. Higher-level troops contribute more power.
Defense: Think of this as the troop’s armor. It absorbs damage from enemies, preventing them from directly harming the troop’s health until the defense is reduced to zero.
Attack: This is the basic damage a troop can inflict. However, it’s limited by the enemy’s defense; no health damage is dealt until the opposing troop’s defense is depleted.
Health: Essentially the HP of a troop. Once this reaches zero, the troop is defeated and removed from the battle.
Lethality: A unique stat that allows a troop to bypass enemy defense and deal damage directly to their health, making it particularly useful against high-defense opponents.
Speed: This uniform stat of 11 for all troops determines their movement speed in battles. Note that it’s different from Wilderness March Speed, which affects travel time on the map.
Load: Relevant for looting and gathering, this stat indicates how much a troop can carry. Troops with higher load stats can gather resources or loot cities more efficiently, requiring fewer units to clear a spot.

Mechanics:
Heroes play different roles depending on the battle type. Understanding the difference between Expedition and Exploration is key to building smart strategies.

🔍 Exploration:

Hero-focused battles where skills deal direct damage. Troops stay in the background—strategy depends on Hero choice and synergy.

Hall of Chiefs Crazy Joe

King of Icefield Fishing Tournament

Gina’s Revenge Treasure Hunter

Arena Lucky Wheel

Exploration State of Power

Bear Hunt Tundra Trade Route

Brothers in Arms Alliance Showdown

Forstfire Mine Flame and Fangs

Alliance Championship Fortress Battles

🚩 Expedition:

Turn-based battles where troops do the main work, and Heroes support with passive skills. Infantry absorbs damage up front; ranged units strike from behind.

Expedition Hero Roles, Rally Joining, Defending, Beast Hunting, Calling Rallies in the correct hero and correct formation, etc is all included.

⚡ Training
Click for the Perfect Training tactic..

Speedups help, but training speed buffs are the real game-changer. Over time, they drastically reduce troop training time.

Ways to boost training speed:

🏝️ Daybreak Island: Decorations like Barbecue Stand (+5% speed at max level)
🧠 Academy: Research like Training Tools
💎 Buff: Buy 2h Training Capacity Enhance (+200% speed for 2 hours, costs 3,000 Gems)
🏗️ Buildings: Upgrade Troop Training Building

💡 Pro Tip: Focus on permanent buffs first—decorations, research, and building upgrades.
Use the 2h Gem buff only during high-volume training sessions to maximize value.

🧭 Promotion

We’ve already covered the importance of troop promotion in our PvP and Beginner Guides—but it’s worth repeating: promote your troops!

Low-level units become ineffective as your account progresses, especially against stronger enemies.
Deploying outdated troops can backfire—they clog your Hospital and put high-level units at risk.
Promotion keeps your army competitive and efficient in both offense and defense.
The cost of promotion is simply the difference in resource cost between the current and target level—so there’s usually no extra cost.

💡 Pro Tip: Promote low-level troops regularly to avoid clogging your Hospital and risking high-level units.
Promotion costs are minimal—just the resource difference between levels

🏥 Healing

Batch healing is the key—heal small groups to use Alliance help and save speedups.
Healing everything at once after a big fight is slow and costly.

Infirmary capacity matters, especially in PvP.
Upgrade your Infirmary, boost capacity through research and Daybreak Island Decorations to avoid losing troops permanently.

💡 Pro Tip: Always heal in batches and use Alliance help to reduce timers.
Keep your Infirmary upgraded to avoid losing high-level troops permanently.

⚖️ Ratios

Choosing the right troop ratio is key in PvP—but there’s no one-size-fits-all answer.

In PvE, it’s simple:
- Bear Hunt: Send 10% Infantry 10% Lancers 80% Marksmen for max damage
- Crazy Joe: Reinforce with 100% Infantry to protect allies
In PvP, ratios depend on enemy composition and strategy.

Example: 50 20 30 = 50% Infantry, 20% Lancers, 30% Marksmen
More Infantry is common—they absorb damage so others can deal it

💡Pro Tip Follow your Alliance’s ratio calls in PvP—they’re based on real-time strategy. Use more Infantry when unsure—they’re your frontline shield.

🚀 Deployment Capacity

A higher deployment capacity means more troops in battle—stronger attacks, better defense.
Main factors:

Hero levels
Command Centre level

Boost it further with:

🧠 Academy Research
🏝️ Island Decorations that increase capacity

💡 Pro Tip Level up your Heroes and Command Centre first—they give the biggest boost.

🔥 Fire Crystal:

Reaching Furnace level 30 is just the beginning—Fire Crystal buildings and troops unlock the real power.

Troops can be upgraded up to Fire Crystal Level 10 (FC10), gaining major stat boosts at each level.
To unlock Fire Crystal Troops, you must upgrade your Troop Training Buildings to Fire Crystal level.
Once upgraded, troops are automatically enhanced with no extra cost beyond the building upgrade.

💡 Pro Tip Upgrade troop buildings to Fire Crystal level early to unlock powerful passive boosts.

Tactical Training Boost
(Perfect Training Combination)

🚀 Obtain the Ministry of Education from the Castle. This will grant you 50% training speed and +200 training capacity.
🚀 Activate the 2h Training Capacity Enhance Buff (+200%) for maximum output.

🔥 Stack these together and you’ll train faster than a blizzard clears the battlefield.
