Whiteout Survival Best Starting Strategy

Whiteout Survival is a strategic survival game in the icy wastelands where your decision-making skill will mean the difference between life and death for the people in the village. The first few days in the game will be a sprint where crucial mistakes can set you back permanently. As a beginner, the game can feel overwhelming and to survive through that icy cold world, you will need to put a lot of thoughts in every step of yours.

The success in this part of the game will heavily depend on your efficiency in resource management, base building, hero priority and most importantly out-pacing the competition. Whether you are aiming to build a strong base for defense or confused about hero upgrades, Let’s follow LDShop to master all the tactics you need to do and the mistakes you need to avoid in the early stage of the game.

 

Key Buildings to Prioritise

The buildings you should be focusing on as the foundation of your city’s survival and growth, in the early stage of the game are:

Furnace

The Furnace is the heart of your city. It is the most important building that not only keeps the temperature warm but also determines the level cap of all the other buildings in the city. The furnace is responsible for maintaining the temperature of the city and without the furnace, the survivors will catch cold and fall ill.

Apart from it, the furnace also serves as the limiter that will decide the max level up to which you can upgrade a building. So, as a starter your foremost priority should be to upgrade the furnace whenever you get the chance because it will increase the amount of heat it produces, increase your power and unlock the ability to upgrade further.

 

2nd Priority Buildings

After upgrading the furnace, the next buildings you should prioritise are the Shelter, Cookhouse and the Clinic. These are the fundamental buildings that will lay the foundation for your city. 

Shelter

These buildings' houses will give the survivors a place to rest, relax and sleep. It is important to keep upgrading the Shelter because it will also increase the survivors’ Sleep, Comfort and Mood, eventually keeping them healthy and happy.

 

Cookhouse

Cookhouse is the canteen for Survivors where they go to eat. The cookhouse uses the produced meat from the Hunter’s Hut so in the early game, you need to keep checking if it is producing enough meat or not. The survivor’s health also depends on the quality of the food, therefore, make sure that you are providing good quality food to them.

 

Clinic

Clinic is also a fundamental building of the city. Unfortunately, if the survivors fall sick, the place they need for their recovery is the Clinic and upgrading the building and its insides will improve the treatment efficiency, and reduce the time required for healing.

 

Resource Management

Managing your resources and improving efficiency of your resource usage is an important factor for your survival in the Whiteout Survival. But especially in the early stage, you will face a shortage of supplies and resources, due to which many survivors will flock to other cities in search of shelter and comfort. The resources that are the most essential in your way to greatness are Wood, Coal, Food and Workforce. 

These are the strategies by which you can ensure that your resources are being utilised properly and effectively:

• Focus on quality and not quantity: Focus on upgrading the existing buildings in the city before laying new ones and during the early game, you should only focus on upgrading the fundamental buildings such as furnaces, shelters and gathering huts.
• Production management: Keep checks of the resources that include Coal, Wood and Food and closely monitor the expenditure to calculate if you are getting the return of your investment as profit or not.
• Repairing: If you are on a shortage of resources, you should focus on repairing a building rather than replacing it with a completely new one.
• Events and missions: Participate in events and missions as they will provide you with huge rewards and resources for early game survival.
• Whiteout Survival top up: If you are struggling too much and want a healing hand for further progress you should opt for Whiteout Survival top up. The best platform to make the top-up is LDShop, it lets players top up for less and it is a great way to save money.

 

Heroes

Heroes are the backbone of your offense party in Whiteout Survival. They are the key to your survival and growth as they are the ones who will lead your troops in battle, gather resources and fight in combat. In the early stage, you should avoid the most common mistake of upgrading every hero equally as this will not only waste the resources but also reduce your combat effectiveness with low level heroes. The heroes you should prioritise upgrading in the early game are:

• Jessie: Jessie is an Epic Lancer Hero who excels in Exploration, Burst Fire and dealing AOE damage.
• Molly: Molly is suitable for the arena and pairs well with gen 5 or 6 especially when you choose to max out her special weapon in her 5 star status.
• Gina: Gina is a stamina saver. She excels in Expedition and Stamina saving which makes her perfect for stamina demanding tasks quests.
• Sergey: Sergey is an Infantry hero who is great for defense in the frontline during exploration.
• Patrick: Patrick is the best supporting hero in the early due to his healing effects and buffs to the troops.

 

Tips to follow for faster progression

• Use speedups for your construction and research as much as possible as there is not a limited supply for the speedups.
• Join a top alliance to receive massive benefit rewards and mutual protection.
• If you can afford it, don't hold it and spend money on buying packs to speed up your construction and gain a huge amount of resources.
• Keep diverse types of troops in the army, preferably 3. This will prevent you from being defeated easily.
• Upgrade your heroes to max level but also focus on upgrading and equipping them with gears. Gears will provide better stat increase and buffs that will increase your power.

 

Conclusion

Starting strong in the early stage of Whiteout Survival will give you the much-needed boost in both confidence and competition. By learning the fundamentals like building priority, hero upgrades and resource management, you will be all set for the long run. With all these strategies in mind, the game not only focuses on survival but outpacing your enemies and rivals in both defense and offense. Therefore, keep a balance of things and stay consistent with your upgrades to start strong and stay stronger.
