WOS - Hero HQ

Get this wrong and the rest of your investment is noise. Everything else (stars, gear, ratios) sits on top of this.

Troop rows are fixed by hero class. Too few Infantry and Marksmen die early. Save marches by ratio in-game so they scale with capacity.

March Board ranks your roster into top 3 full Inf / Lan / Mar marches per type. Rankings are heuristics (skill text, stars, skills, gear) — not the in-game Power number.

Pure damage event. The bear does not kill your troops the way a city does, so you stack Marksmen. Leader ratio ~10/10/80; joiner often pure Mar. Slot 1 top skill still rules joins.

Enemy cities, alliance facilities, Foundry, strongholds, Sunfire Castle turrets. Balanced 50/20/30 so the line does not melt. When you capture Castle / Facility, swap immediately to a hold ratio.

Holding a tile. Infantry-heavy 60/30/10 (ultra-hold 60/40/0). Swap Slot 1 to Sergey / Patrick-style kits for the top skill buff.

PvE that hits back — not the same as Bear. Start 20/20/60. Solo beasts usually do not use joiners; rally joins still want the full trio.

Usually solo. Use your strongest attack trio at 50/20/30.

These modes use a 5-hero Exploration formation — not a 3-hero march. Only Exploration skills matter (Expedition / joiner skills do not apply in Arena).

Popular class mixes: 2 Inf / 1 Lan / 2 Mar (balanced) or 2 Inf / 2 Lan / 1 Mar. Fragile DPS belongs back-center or the safer back corner. Check the opponent’s defense lineup before attacking when the client allows it.

Most alliance content reuses the same two kits: attack (balanced damage) and hold (Infantry-heavy). Match the phase your officers call, not the event name alone.

Alliance timed push against a shared objective. Run your best attack lead + Slot‑1 joiners on the damage window. If the stage turns into holding ground, swap Slot 1 and ratio to the hold kit without rebuilding the whole hero line if possible.

• Lead = full Inf / Lan / Mar skill kits from March Board → Events.
• Joiners = max Expedition top skill (attack family for push phases).
• Do not park pure Bear 10/10/80 lines unless the stage truly does not fight back.

Usually alternates attack and defense rounds. The roster does not change — the kit does.

• Attack rounds: 50/20/30, offense Slot‑1 joiners (Jessie-type damage / troop attack).
• Defense rounds: 60/30/10, tank Slot‑1 joiners (Sergey / Patrick family).
• Pre-save two formations in My Marches labeled Champ ATK and Champ DEF so you flip in one deploy.
• Officers often stagger rally starts — join the called lead, do not open random rallies.

Facility-style structure fight. Push with attack kit; the moment your alliance owns the Foundry, many calls flip to hold.

• Clean join timing beats slightly higher solo power.
• Keep one reinforcement march on hold ratio ready.
• Same heroes can stay; change ratio + Slot 1 skill focus.

Point checklist event — not a single march type. Read the task:

• Beasts / Polar-style kills: ~20/20/60 (March Board → Polar / Beasts).
• Rally participation: attack or Bear kit depending on the rally target.
• Building / city tasks: attack 50/20/30 or hold if you are sitting the tile.
• Mobilization rewards activity breadth — do not burn all stamina on one wrong ratio.

Seasonal damage stages. Prefer 20/20/60 unless the enemy hits hard (then 30/20/50). Pure non-retaliating bosses can justify Bear-style Marksman stacks — only when the stage behaves like Bear Hunt.

Often one quality march + reliable joiners. Use the attack kit; save hold kits for true defense phases. Coordinate so you do not overlap identical Skill‑1 buffs poorly across concurrent rallies if the call wants diversity.

Uncontested: balanced 50/20/30 is fine. Contested sit: switch to hold. Treat like a mini facility fight.

March Board → Events builds attack and hold lines from your roster for each of the events above. My Marches is where you save Champ ATK / Champ DEF / Joe push presets. Ratios tables live under Guide → Ratios.

• Never sit at max free regen (bait, fuel, stamina, trek supplies) — you are deleting free attempts.
• Don’t spend ranking materials outside the matching prep stage unless you are still in early growth.
• Read the stage list the moment an event opens — point rules change by state age.
• Alliance first on battlefield days — a mid roster in a coordinated alliance beats a strong solo who ignores calls.

Recurring ~every 4 weeks, usually ~3 days. Pure mini-game — no furnace gate. Two modes share the same cast controls: steer the hook down (dodge obstacles), then catch fish on the way up by hitting heads, not tails.

Line → max depth (~550m) · Hook → max catch count (~20) · Sinker → starting depth (~165m). Priority for most players: Hook first (more fish per cast), then Line, then Sinker. Tokens from Prospector casts accelerate kit growth for the rest of the event.

Typical star values: 1★ ~10 · 2★ ~20 · 3★ ~40 · 4★ ~70 · 5★ ~150. Prioritize glowing / higher-star fish on the way up. Seasons rotate (spring / summer / autumn / winter) — collections are seasonal, so missing a season means waiting for the next cycle of that theme.

• Do Frosty Prospector first when you have charts, then Ice Fishing.
• Never sit at 10/10 bait for long — a full bar is ~30 hours of wasted regen if left capped.
• Edge path on the way down reduces collisions; aim for fish heads on the way up.
• Save strong consumables (vouchers, stabilizers, lantern, Horn of Poseidon) for Prospector casts when possible.
• Drain remaining bait before the event ends — bait does not carry over usefully.
• F2P: hit daily point / mission targets and chip away at permanent collection guides across multiple events.

Usually a 3-day exploration event. You clear snow across areas, rescue survivors, gather coal, upgrade fire + gear, and push toward clearing targets. Fuel is the clock.

Fuel → clear snow → rescue survivors → coal → upgrade fire/gear → maps & items → clearing target → Rocket V2 → next area.

• You start with a large fuel pool; base regen is steady (on the order of several points every few minutes) — log in often enough that regen never sits capped.
• Do not open every Fuel Supply chest the moment you find it. Bank chests for when you can actually spend fuel.
• Use easier areas to practice efficient paths; don’t dump premium fuel on inefficient clearing.

• Rescue survivors early — they make the rest of the area smoother.
• Upgrade the gear that fixes your current bottleneck (survival vs clear speed), not every piece evenly.
• Clear snow farther from the fire first when practical — fire upgrades melt nearby snow for free.
• Around ~95% clear, Rocket V2 can finish remaining snow — you don’t need to hand-clear every tile.
• Keep map fragments and complete map objectives; permanent milestones (including higher area unlocks) matter more than one-run heroics.

Major alliance battlefield. The player with the longest Capital occupation as rally captain becomes Frostdragon Tyrant for the zone (typically ~30 days). Reinforcements do not earn captain occupation time.

• Sign-up — R4/R5 registers the alliance.
• Combatant dispatch — eligible alliances lock who enters.
• Eve of battle — final prep, predictions, logistics.
• Battlefield open — limited hours; Capital opens after a delay and stays contested.
• Rearmament — participating states often get a large healing bonus window after.

• Pick the Tyrant candidate before battle day — only their captain time counts for the title.
• Split roles: Capital rallies, Spire control (buffs), Dragonite / crystal skills, and reinforcement waves.
• Stock healing speedups and combat buffs; hospital management wins long occupations.
• Practice march presets in this app’s March Board (city / castle kits) so swap speed is instant in chat calls.

The big ranking cycles. SVS is the premier state-vs-state event; KOI is a multi-day personal ranking track that appears later in state life and replaces simpler chief-rank formats for eligible states.

• Prep week is for banking; battle windows are for fighting and timed spends your officers call.
• Align personal goals (rewards track) with alliance goals (state score) — don’t solo-spend into a stage your state isn’t contesting.
• Keep a healing reserve; dead troops don’t gather or reinforce.

Seven stages, points generally do not roll from one day to another for stage ranks — but total ranking still sums the week. Typical themes rotate through construction / Fire Crystal, hero development, skills & pets, troop training, and mixed combat days. Exact point tables depend on state age.

• Day before each stage: confirm which items score (FC vs shards vs training vs charms).
• Dump the matching stockpile only after reset confirms the stage.
• Early growth players: still play KOI for milestone rewards even if leaderboard is out of reach.

Structured alliance PvP (often bi-weekly vs Frostfire). Registration, limited roster (fighters + subs), timed entry. Main score often revolves around the Imperial Foundry objective. Furnace requirements apply for entry on many schedules.

• Register on time; know whether you are primary or substitute.
• Bring the attack or hold kit your officers call — see Alliance Events and War Types in this guide.

Competitive resource / PvP map against other states or groups. Gather, contest nodes, manage mercs or PvE targets as the rules dictate. Stamina and march timing matter more than a single maxed march.

Alliance objective battle with fuel / role assignments. Follow calls, don’t freelance objectives, and keep a second march preset ready.

High-frequency alliance damage events. Bear Hunt is the classic pure-damage rally (Marksman-heavy ratios — see War Types). Crazy Joe and similar windows mix attack phases with rules that punish wrong troop mixes.

• Join as many quality rallies as your marches allow — participation rewards stack up over a week.
• Use March Board → Bear / City / Facility tabs so your Slot 1 skills and ratios match the call.
• Don’t burn ranking speedups here unless the event is explicitly a prep stage for SVS/KOI.

Mission track → currency → chest board. Complete free daily drills, use free refreshes before paid ones, and spend event currency before it converts or expires. Casual players: prioritize reliable progression mats over chasing one cosmetic.

Multi-day dice board: Common / Illusion dice, Adventure Coins, shops, and sometimes Fire Crystal tiles for FC-age states. Do Adventurer Drill dailies, then spend coins on your real bottleneck (not every cosmetic).

Point ladders for normal play (login, gather, train, contribute). Easy rewards — clear them, but don’t contort your SVS stockpile just to finish a low-value mission.

• Always spendable: free stamina, bait, fuel, trek supplies, daily free packs.
• Bank for ranking days: training / building / research speedups, hero shards, essence, widgets, FC, chief gear mats.
• Bank for war days: healing speedups, combat buffs, teleports if your state uses them.

Map your real life to the calendar: short daily logins for regen events; longer blocks for Foundry / Frostdragon / SVS battle windows. Use this app before war nights to lock march presets and gear moves so you aren’t editing heroes in the middle of a call.

Expedition combat inside the Labyrinth. Most zones give fixed Lv10 Explorer troops — hero, gear, pet, charm, and tech matter more than your field troop tier. Gaia Heart uses your real troops with no field casualties.

• Mon–Tue — Land of the Brave / Heroes → hero gear & exclusives
• Wed–Thu — Cave of Monsters → pets · Charm Mine → charms
• Fri–Sat — Earthlab / Research · Dark Forge → tech & chief gear
• Sunday — Gaia Heart → personal stats (no territory buffs)

• Squad 1 — Inf + Lan geared · ~60/40/0
• Squad 2 — Inf + Mar geared · ~54/3/43
• Squad 3 — balanced · ~50/20/30

Generation is not destiny. Skill text, top skill level, stars, and gear decide value long after the banner ends.

• Joiners: skill text + top skill level beat generation. A maxed Jessie still beats most unleveled newer first skills.
• Leaders: stars + full kit + gear beat a fresh 1★ current-gen hero.
• Percentage skills (Mia, Magnus, and similar) age better than flat numbers.
• Finishing strong skill text beats spreading shards across every new banner.

• Early leads: Molly, Flint, Bahiti → next unlocked gens with complete kits
• Keepers: percentage kits + elite first skills
• Rare heroes: growth / economy tools, not combat cores

Drill Camp levels are temporary. Mark them as Drill Slot in this app so March Board and Growth Planner do not treat them as permanent investment. Spend real Hero XP on long-term cores (elite joiners and your main lead line).

A portfolio and recommendation layer on top of your Whiteout Survival roster — not a live rally planner.
